Wimbledon 2009 Day 6 Open Thread

It's the end of the first week of the fortnight and remaining third round matches are up for grabs today.

As usual, Centre Court is the ticket, but who does former champion Amélie Mauresmo have to do stroke to get a Centre Court or Court 1 appearance in the first week? She could be out of the tournament by day's end, and she never played a point on the biggest show courts. Such treatment for a former champion is intolerable.

Venus ought to exact revenge, Melzer ought not, Haas ought to complete another 5-set meltdown in his heldover encounter, and I see at least four upsets.
