Nationalities in main draw at this year's Wimbledon:
USA- 15, 3 men made it to the 3rd round (Roddick, Fish, Levine)
Spain- 14, 6 in 3rd round (Verdasco, Almagro, Montanes, Robredo, Ferrero, and Ferrer)
Argentina- 12, all gone back to the pampas by now
France- 11, 2 left (Simon, Tsonga)
Germany- 10, 3 left (Haas, Kohlschreiber, Petzschner)
Russia- 8, 2 left (Davydenko, Andreev)
Great Britain- 5, Andy Murray remains
Other countries with players still in the draw: Switzerland (2), Australia, Czech Rep.(2), Austria, Chile, Romania, Italy, Israel, Croatia (2), Serbia, and Sweden.
A few surprises here. 6 of the final 32 are Spaniards- though few expect any of them to make the final 4. Only 3 Americans make it to the 3rd round, and James Blake isn't one of them. Wimledon hands out 4 wildscards to Brits, all of whom lost in the 1st round, 3 of them bowing out in straight sets.
