Wimbledon 2013 TV Schedule: When and Where to Catch Second-Week Action
If the first two rounds of the 2013 Wimbledon Championships are any indication of what's to come, tennis fans are in store for a wild second week at the All England Club.
A plethora of former champions and world No. 1s were bounced in the opening rounds at SW19. Most notably, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka (withdrew with knee injury) are all out and gearing up for the summer hard-court season.
While stars like Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Serena Williams still remain, the door is now wide open for some lower-ranked players to make names for themselves in London.

Will There Be a First-Time Men's Champion in 2013?
While 2011 Wimbledon champion Djokovic is still the favorite in the men's draw, the shocking early-round losses suffered by Federer and Nadal have opened things up for several underdogs.
If Djokovic doesn't win it all this summer, we'll have a first-time men's champion as Nadal and Federer have combined to win nine of the past 10 titles at the All England Club.
It's safe to say that their stunning losses have opened up the bottom half of the draw for not only Andy Murray, but players like Nicolas Almagro and Benoit Paire, setting the stage for what should be an epic second week.
The 15th-seeded Almagro is technically the favorite to reach the semifinals from Federer and Nadal's quarter of the draw now. Jerzy Janowicz, seeded 24th, and Benoit Paire, seeded 25th are the only two remaining seeded players in that quarter of the bracket.
Considering that fourth-seeded David Ferrer has never been past the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, his quarter of the draw is just as wide open with players like Juan Martin del Potro and Kei Nishikori playing solid tennis in that section of the bracket.
Serena Williams Even More of a Favorite?
It was hard to imagine five-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams' odds to win getting any better, but after Azarenka was forced to withdraw with a knee injury and Sharapova was upset in the second round on Wednesday, the world No. 1 looks to be a lock for the women's title.
Williams wouldn't have had to face either Azarenka or Sharapova until the final, but now she won't have to worry about that either.
After Williams, fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska is the next-highest seed still remaining in the women's draw. The two wouldn't meet until the semifinals, and Radwanska is no lock to reach the semis with players like Madison Keys, Li Na and Roberta Vinci standing in her way.
In the bottom half of the draw, 2011 Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova is still alive, but she will have to win four more matches against stiff competition to reach the final, where she could challenge Williams.
Either way, Williams, who is in the midst of a 33-match winning streak looks like the overwhelming favorite to add a sixth Wimbledon crown to her resume this July.
Williams is still the odds-on favorite to win it all at 1-4, according to bet365.com.
