World No. 5 Matt Wilkinson continued his winning roll with his third straight heat win at the Fiji Pro. Surfing with his trademark abandon, Wilkinson's no longer a question mark in terms of strategy and tactics, which makes him deadly in bowly lefthanders. Plenty of thanks for Wilko's new and improved headspace since last season's breakthrough into the Top 5 can be attributed to his coach, Glenn Hall. Hall's formula has harnessed the Aussie's explosive, skatey style without losing its edge. Wilkinson moves straight to the Quarters where he'll face the winner of the Julian Wilson vs. Italo Ferreira clash.
