Wowser! Djokovic is out! How is that possible?????? He was my pick to go all the way to the final! Okay well that was a shame and I know Djokovic is probably not happy at all at how this years French Open has played out for him. Kohlschreiber is always one to be wary of especially after the defeat he handed Andy Roddick in the 2008 Australian Open third round. Djokovic bows out to Kohlschreiber who wins 6-4 6-4 6-4.
I guess naturally I'll bump up Federer to once again lose to Nadal in the Roland Garros final. However Federer was tested today by Paul Henri Mathieu from France who stole the first set from him however he was unable to keep the winning streak alive any longer as Federer won 4-6 6-1 6-4 6-4.
Tsonga and Del Potro are scheduled to meet in the 4th round with both moving into it comfortably. Tsonga defeated Rochus 6-2 6-2 6-2 and Del Potro defeated Andreev 6-4 7-5 6-4.
However some one I am throuoghly proud of is Andy Roddick. He has made it in the last 16 for the first time in his career at Roland Garros. He won comfortably with 6-1 6-4 6-4 to Marc Gicquel. Roddick is obviously thrilled to be in the second week but he still has a long way to go. His next match will be against Frenchman Gael Monfils who beat Jurgen Melzer of Austria, 6-4 4-6 6-3 6-1. He is looking on top form despite the knee injury that has left him out of the game for a few weeks.
It's a tough assignment for Roddick but I'm hoping desperately that he wins and maybe,just maybe he can get over his 'oh my gosh it's Federer'fear and beat the Swiss on the clay.
That's it today for the men's tennis but I'm looking forward to the Murray vs Cilic match. It looks like it will be tough but as a Brit myself I and rooting for Murray!
