Why can’t Novak Djokovic just make it easy on us already? After we called him the cardiac kid last year after he made us get through grueling four-hour match after grueling four-hour match, he did it again tonight. It took him 3 hours and 54 minutes to defeat the very tough Croatian Marin Cilic 6-7, 7-5, 6-4, 7-6 in a match that ended at 12:48 a.m.
Earlier today, Andy Roddick won in straight sets over Andreas Seppi 6-2, 7-5, 7-6 to move onto the fourth round. One of the awesome stories of the men’s draw in the first week is Gilles Muller, a qualifier from Luxembourg who defeated #18 seed Nicolas Almagro 6-7, 3-6, 7-6, 7-6, 7-5, moving him to the fourth round.
No upsets elsewhere: Dementieva and Schnyder both moved on for the women; Davydenko, Gonzalez and Robredo move on for the men.
