There is, of course, a long list of players who did not make it through the first round of Wimbledon qualifying. Here are some of the more notable eliminations:
Julia Vakulenko--notable because it was just two years ago that she gave Kim Clijsters so much trouble in the main draw
Arantxa Rus--the former junior world number 1 has been making a good showing lately, but not here
Camille Pin--never fun to see Camille go out so early
Mariana Duque Marino--seeded 7th in qualifying, she lost in straight sets to Ekaterina Bychkova
Lenka Wienerova--a player I've been watching; did her bad leg do her in, or is she just not a grass player?
Anna Tatishvili--taken out by Julia Schruff
Noppawan Lertcheewakarn--last year's junior finalist
Yuliana Fedak--runs hot and cold, and lately--just cold
The first qualifying seed, Victoriya Kutuzova (another player who should be ranked higher than she is) has advanced to the second round.
