Wimbledon survivors reach next level.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)

WIMBLEDON, England _ They won't have to pack bags, get on planes or check into new hotels. Yet for those reaching the round of 16 at Wimbledon, a new tournament begins today.

A majority of the favorites are still alive for the sport's most prestigious crown as Wimbledon's second week kicks off.

Eight of the top 10 seeded men remain, including the first six. On the women's side, 10 of the top 15 seeds made it through, including four of the top five.

All are scheduled to compete Monday for spots in the quarterfinals.

``Wimbledon is a different tournament the second week,'' said the second-seeded Andre Agassi, who will face No. 19 Nicolas Kiefer. ``The grass is playing a lot differently. Certainly the level of competition is such that you feel like you're playing the best in the world for the biggest title in the world. It's a lot on the line. It's what you play the game for.''

Added Goran Ivanisevic, one of four unseeded players left in the men's draw and a three-time Wimbledon finalist: ``Everything is open. Now it's second week. I always say in the second week of a Grand Slam, now the first tournament is over. Now the second one starts. Anybody can win.''

Some have a better chance than others. Ivanisevic is one of a few sentimental favorites on the men's side, along with No. 3 Patrick Rafter and American Todd Martin. Seeded 23rd, Martin is in the round of 16 for the seventh time in nine Wimbledon appearances, but he won't get much crowd support today when he faces Great Britain's Tim Henman.
