Roger Federer showed his crafty skills with ease today as he defeated one of the French hopefuls Paul-Henri Mathieu. The Swiss man looked rusty in the first set and lost it 64 but then elevated his game by giving Mathieu a hard time and finally taking the match with a score of 46 61 64 64. He will now face former world number 2 Tommy Haas, who is the oldest player left in the draw.
Meanwhile, Philipp Kohlschreiber posted the biggest win of his career over world number 4, Novak Djokovic. Kohlschreiber won 5 out of 10 break points and was broken twice in the encounter which took 2 hours and 21 minutes to complete. Djokovic showed no signs of desire and looked flat as he was sent home by the 29th seed with a score of 64 64 64.
Other winners include Andy Roddick, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Juan Martin del Potro.
