I consider myself a pretty savvy tennis fan. I watch tournaments, go to tournaments, read the press and generally keep up with the sport on a daily basis. By the time I get to a major there's usually a player or two whom I've heard of, but need to see play. I can't remember the last time we made it to the fourth round of a Wimbledon and two players are in the mix who I not only couldn't pick out of a lineup, but have frankly never heard of before.
I'm also a pretty honest guy, after the men's preview, I'm tired, so forgive me Billie Jean King and Stacey Allaster, here's a slightly truncated (but no less accurate) Wimbledon women's round of 16 preview.
