Seles serves a reminder

Earlier, Mark Philippoussis and Richard Krajicek set up an explosive Wimbledon fourth round clash on Friday, blasting their way past third round opponents.

But fifth seed Yevgeny Kafelnikov joined the growing band of big-name failures, when he succumbed to fast-improving Belgian Xavier Malisse.

In the women8217;s draw Serena Wiliams scrambled into the fourth round with a tight 7-6, 7-6 victory over Els Callens, who flumoxed the number two seed by moving her around a slippery court.

Philippoussis bludgeoned Nicolas Kiefer into submission 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 while Krajicek 8212; the only former champion remaining in the draw 8212; battered Paradorn Srichaphan 7-6, 6-4, 6-2. Other ladies action saw third seed Jennifer Capriati beat diminutive Czech Daja Bedanova 6-4, 6-2. The American three-times Grand Slam champion once againstruggled to find her range early on, allowing the 21st-seeded Bedanova to steal an early lead.

But Capriati hit back immediately and the pressure of her power off the ground soon told as she broke in the ninth game on her way to claiming first set.

Seventh seed Jelena Dokic overcame early jitters to oust France8217;s Nathalie Dechy 7-5, 6-2 and will next meet Daniela Hantuchova.
