It was hardly business as usual on Monday.

Like everybody else I did not expect Pete Sampras to go out at this stage, although I had been saying from before the tournament that he was not looking quite the same player.

His serve did not appear to be coming through as it used to, and the second serve does not appear to be as well directed as it could be.

As a result the likes of Roger Federer and Barry Cowan have been able to return the ball much more than normal.

Federer did very well but that result would not have happened in previous years.

While it would be a fool who writes Pete off after this result I think he is going to have to make more of a commitment to his game than he has this year.

I know he has only recently got married but if he is going to win another Slam, and he is more than capable of it, then he has got to be more focused.

We all knew about Federer's potential as he has proved it on other surfaces.

He's going to be a dangerous player for a few years and I still believe he can play better.

But he showed on Centre Court that he has also got the composure to go with his ability.

Greg Rusedski's defeat to Goran Ivanisevic was very disappointing.

I felt Greg would win this one, but it was a bad sign to me when Greg stayed back in his second service game.

Goran has the same weapons as Greg and I felt he was afforded too much respect.

But I thought Greg's body language was wrong. He seemed to be feeling as though there was nothing he could do with Goran in such form, rather than taking the challenge to his opponent.

Now it will be interesting to see how far Goran can go. So far I think he's been playing with a lot of freedom because he has not been expecting much.

If the thought enters his mind that this might just be his year then who knows what will happen?

Tim Henman is not in a great position against Todd Martin when they resume on Tuesday, and I didn't think Todd could raise his game to this level after the year he has had.

But I still have a sneaky feeling that Tim can turn it around and the dream is not yet over.

Lleyton Hewitt's exit to Nicolas Escude was a big shock to me.

There had been warning signs against Taylor Dent and Younes El Aynaoui but I could not see how Escude would trouble him.

Maybe Hewitt paid the price for playing and winning two events just prior to Wimbledon.

There should be no holding back from either of them, and certainly the first one to wilt will be the loser.

A year ago you would never have said that Capriati is the favourite against Serena and though I still find it difficult to say even now, I believe that to be the case.

But this match could go either way.

Lindsay Davenport had a very good win against Jelena Dokic, and it was a step up in the form that she has been showing.

She has another tough match now with Kim Clijsters, again a very even match, but I would just favour Lindsay.

But Clijsters and her compatriot Justine Henin have an unbelievable record this year and they are both fantastic talents.

It should be another great day on Tuesday, but a little less hectic than Monday.
