Roddick into fourth round

Lots of action going on at Wimbledon this week, and so far there haven't been any major upsets among the top seeds. I watched Andy Roddick's third round match yesterday against Philipp Kohlschreiber. It was a good match, and although I didn't think Roddick played his best tennis, he was able to elevate his game in the final two sets to come away with the victory. Next up for him is Yen-hsun Lu. Also lurking in the quarter of the draw are Lleyton Hewitt and Novak Djokovic, who will face each other next round. That should be a good match. Hewitt has proven that he's a force on grass, and Djokovic hasn't been quite as good on this surface as he has on clay and hard courts. In the other half of the draw are Nadal, Murray, and Soderling, all three of whom have been cruising so far. Soderling and Nadal would meet in the quarterfinals if they both continue winning. That would be quite an interesting rematch of their French Open final.
