Super Stepanek beats second seed


Radek Stepanek has proved his top form after winning the SAP Open last week, by beating second seeded Juan Martin del Potro at the regions Morgan Keegan Championships. Del Potro had 3 chances to take the first set in a tie-break but Stepanek kept on fighting to take the tiebreak 9-7.

Top seeded Andy Roddick also won his ticket to the semis at the Memphis event as he defeated compatriot Sam Querrey in a three setter.
Novak Djokovic came through at the Open 13 in France, by beating Mischa Zverev 63 63 to set up a semifinal encounter against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who beat Feliciano Lopez in a three setter.
Other winners of the day include David Nalbandian, Gilles Simon and Lleyton Hewitt.
