Top seed Ana Ivanovic survived two match points, one of them an agonisingly close net cord, before finally beating France's Nathalie Dechy 6-7 7-6 10-8 in a second round thriller at Wimbledon. The question is, how will this effect the remainder of her week at the All England club? She said afterwards that it had just been one of those days, but the world number 1 needs to find a way to save her 'luck-reserves' for the business end of the tournament. Hopefully this is not the first signs of pressure produced from playing under the expectations of the 'no 1' tag.
