Tennis News :: Tipsarevic beats Roddick in Wimbledon second round

Posted on 2008-06-26 by Gooner

Janko Tipsarevic hit back from a set down to end Andy Roddick's quest for his first Wimbledon title.

The gritty Serb found a way to counter Roddick's potent serve as he recovered from losing a first set tie-break to win 6-7 7-5 6-4 7-6.

Roddick was runner-up to Roger Federer in both 2004 and 2005, but his second-round exit was his worst performance in nine visits to the All England Club.

The American sixth seed failed to convert any of his eight break points in a gruelling three-hour match, which highlighted his lack of fitness after injury curtailed his clay-court season.

He also missed three set points which would have taken the match into a deciding set, before Tipsarevic stole the match in a tie-break.

Tipsarevic goes through to meet Russian Dmitry Tursunov, who beat Britain's Chris Eaton in straight sets.
