There were not a lot of surprises today at Wimbledon. Roddick rolled in straight sets over Beck, 6-4, 7-6(6), 6-3. Federer, Djokovic, and Ferrer also won their respective matches.
Delpo also finished up his match that was rained out yesterday, beating Cipolla 6-1, 6-4, 6-3.
Harrison made the most of getting into the draw as a Lucky Loser by defeating Dodig 7-6(5), 6-0, 7-5.
Not every match was won so easily. A total of 9 matches were battled out in 5 sets: Mannarino beat Ireland’s Niland 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(9), 4-6, 6-4; Blake battled back from 2 sets down but still lost an absolute heart-breaker to Baghdatis 6-4, 6-2, 6-7(5), 4-6, 6-4; Andreev defeated fellow Russian Gabashvili 6-4, 7-6(5), 6-7(4), 4-6, 6-3; Kubot, Beck, Rochus, Youzhny, and Mello also notched 5 set wins.
Oh yeah, and this idiot managed to come back 2 sets down to Steps to move on to the next round. Guess it’s better than tanking out 1st round like last year, right Fer?
Sod prevailed in a tight 4 sets over Petzschner 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 7-6(5). Whatever…
And in the much talked about rematch, Isner managed to beat Mahut in straight sets this time. He even broke serve, winning 7-6(7), 6-2, 7-6(6).
Don’t worry, they still bros 4 life. Seriously, how cute are they!
