Federer needed four sets for victory; Djokovic grooves


Roger Federer was knocked a bit off course today as he faced Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber. The Swiss superstar won the first 2 sets with ease but then was given a wake up call by the German which won him the third set. But Federer didn't have any trouble whatsoever to seal the fourth set and the match. The score was 63 62 67(5) 61 and the top seed will now face his opponent in the recent French Open final... Robin Soderling! All looking forward to that one.
Novak Djokovic solidified his victory as well with a straight set win over American Mardy Fish. The Serb showed no flaws in today's performance and knocked the American off his feet to get to the fourth round.
Dr. Ivo Karlovic made 46 aces in his encounter with French 9th seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and took it to 4 nail-biting sets but won it with a score of 76(5) 67(5) 75 76(5).

Look out tomorrow for Andy Murray taking to the court!
