Wimbledon 2009 Day 5 Open Thread

I'm looking forward to Victoria Azarenka play Sorana Cirstea on Centre Court. At least this Court 2 isn't the Graveyard of Champions, that would be Court 3 where no former champions are on the slate, so Serena Williams should be all right against Roberta Vinci in the brand new facility. Provided, of course, she's not mourning. What will Mardy Fish bring to Centre Court against Novak Djokovic? He'll have no better chance to knock off a top seed at a Slam.

Anybody see any upsets? I see three, but I'm hoping for eight. I'm naughty.
