THE MATCHES THAT WE PARTICULARLY follow :
Gael Monfils ( FRA/N.21 ) - Lleyton Hewitt ( AUS/N.15 )
. This will be our first show of the day : the French , who never came back on the lawn of London since 2007, has never gone beyond the third round . Le Parisien has been well informed about his opponent since his current coach , Australian Roger Rasheed , has long held the career of the Australian. Monfils, knee straps and always without reference to this surface, will have work to do .
. Facing him , a terror on the back ... to some extent: Lleyton Hewitt . The Australian , who won Wimbledon in 2002, beat Roger Federer in Halle. A feat considering that the Swiss had not lost in Germany since 2002 . The former world number one , becoming a father , and who has undergone two hip operations (2009 and 2010), has managed a return to the top impressive . This will mark the 28th ATP title in his career. For the first time in 2003 and a Davis Cup match , Hewitt ended a round of 15 straight losses to Federer . Only two players have beaten Federer on grass since 2003 : Nadal and Hewitt.

Roger Federer ( SUI/N.1 ) - Arnaud Clement ( FRA )
. After the first two rounds hesitant , Roger Federer will try to finally find the right pace on Friday at Wimbledon French Arnaud Clement , a player who has fought for nine more years. Since his last victory against Switzerland , the third round of the Australian Open in 2001 , Clement took him only two sets in six matches. But the No.1 seeded showed signs of restlessness in the first two rounds, yielding two runs in the Colombian Alejandro Falla and one Serb Ilija Bozoljac .
. Roger Federer knew Happy Days version of the law of series . For a little over six months , the incomparable Switzerland discovers the horrors of the small depression statistics: Nikolay Davydenko had stopped his own in London in late 2009 ( 12 losses in a row ) , Robin Söderling Ditto Paris ( 12 losses ) , Lleyton, applied as a serious leading man , also took his chance. In response to Clement , Federer leads 8-3 in their confrontations , including an ongoing series 6-0 .
