Roddick falls to Kohlschreiber in a Marathon Match

Great match and great quality of tennis. Kohlschreiber defeated Roddick in five sets,  6-4 3-6 7-6 (10-8) 6-7 (3-7) 8-6. Yesterday night’s match between Safin and Bhadatis was epic for the drama. And, tonight’s match is an epic for the quality of tennis. Both the players were solid on the serve (total 74 aces; 42 for Roddick and 32 for the German). And, only 2 breaks for the entire 5 sets. The other stats are also mind-boggling.  79 winners from Roddick and 104 winners from Kohlschreiber (WTF??).

In the next round, Kohlschreiber  will face Jarkko Nieminen. With this kind of form, Kohlschreiber should have an easy march to the quarterfinals.
