3-6, 7-5, 6-3, 7-6(7-4) - Tipsarevic
his serve let him down for portions as the match wore on but he was able to get big first serves on key points and force roddick into a lot of rallies by keeping a lot of his returns on roddicks serve in
really high quality from both, especially in the 4th set. roddick seemed rejuvenated in the 4th but tipsy was able to dictate a decent majority of those rallies, and his w:ufe ratio was fucking ridiculous (66:30). roddick took the ace total 17-16 but that was really irrelevant since tipsy got a good portion of would-be unreturnables in and the % on roddicks 2nd serve was basically even. total points were 126-116 t
he would have to play monfils next, bellucci/davydenko will probably be in the 4th round, and then fish/djokovic in the quarters. this is all in feds half of the draw, and feds quarter is relatively weak although i would like to see de bakker/soderling in the 3rd round (pending)
high quality stuff from Janko after that first set. that guy just seems to show up in majors.
i was a little disappointed by roddicks rant on that line judge. in all honesty i want to see him win to keep america relevant in tennis, but he deserves to lose with all this shit he brings on. he needs to get that ego of his under control, especially since last years wimbledon was the first splash he's made at a major in quite some time
