Here are the photos of Brooklyn Decker, Kim Sears, Bec Cartwright and Mirka Vavrinec supporting their husbands/boyfriends on Day Seven of the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on June 28, 2010 in London, England. Enjoy!

Jelena won 7-5 6-2 over Giulia Gabba to reach the 2R of the maindraw. Excellent! She was down 3-0 and 4-2 in the first set, but managed to claw her way back. Jelena was also down 2-1 in the second set, before reeling off five games in a row to win the match. Great, positive finish to both sets by Jelena after being down. According to Migrate's texts to JustDoIt, on TennisForum, Jelena started off slowly when she went down 3-0 in the first set, making too many UEs but by the end of the match he said that Jelena is on the right path and played some amazing tennis.

Anyway, now she plays against fellow qualifier, the Italian Elisa Balsamo. As mentioned, like Jelena, Balsamo is a qualifier, so therefore she has quite a few matches under her belt. She thrashed the #6 seed Anna Korzeniak in the 1R of the maindraw. She was the #5 seed in the qualifying draw and only dropped one set to qualify and reach 2R of the maindraw.

Meanwhile, the Dokic/Lucic clash is very likely! The two just need to win their next match to make it to the QF where they will play each other. Interestingly, Lucic plays Florence Haring who got in as a LL after Jelena beat her in the final qualifying round. So either way, if Jelena gets past Balsamo, her QF opponent will be very interesting!

Qualifying

1R: (WC) Jelena Dokic (AUS) df. (9) Camila Giorgi (ITA) 0-6 6-4 6-2
2R: (WC) Jelena Dokic (AUS) df. (1) Florence Haring (FRA) 6-0 6-1

Maindraw

1R: (Q) Jelena Dokic (AUS) df. Giulia Gabba (ITA) 7-5 6-2
2R: (Q) Jelena Dokic (AUS) vs. (Q) Elisa Balsamo (ITA)
