Ivanovic 3-1 De Los Rios
Mis-hit backhand off the frame and into the tape from Ana, and when a Hawk-Eye challenge is over-ruled on an Ivanovic attempted line-clipper, DLR is on the board. Generous applause from the patrons.
Ivanovic 3-0 De Los Rios
A contented buzz around Centre Court as mouths masticate on over-priced paninis. Ivanovic marches through her service game with ease and sips a lemon barley-water at her chair as DLR stares blanky into her towel.
Ivanovic 2-0 De Los Rios
Ana's into her stride straight away, running round her backhand to batter a forehand cross-court and steal an early break. If you're a little off the pace on Paraguayan tennis, Rossana has played at Wimbledon four times before this, with her best effort the second round. She also has an 11-year-old daughter, who's watching from the VIP box. Charming scenes.
Ivanovic 1-0 De Los Rios
Ana bounds out, wearing a traditional strappy white dress and white sun-visor and with her long pony-tail bouncing behind her. DLR is derailed by a lucky Ana net-cord at deuce and a raking two-hand backhand that follows.
1442: Barely have Fed and Hrbaty left Centre Court than Ana and Rossana are with us. The rush that had started to the gents grinds to a sudden halt. Ana to serve first.
