ROGER FEDERER cruised into the fourth round of Wimbledon 2010 when he registered a win over Arnaud Clement by 6-2, 6-4, 6-2. Former top-ranked players Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin won the fourth-round set, but John Isner lost after playing the longest match in the history of tennis.
The defending champion Federer is aiming at 17th Grand Slam title at the All England Club and will play 16th seeded Austrian Jurgen Melzer on Monday for a berth in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon 2010. It will be the first time that Federer and Melzer will play against each other.
Clijsters beat Russia’s Maria Kirilenko by a set of 6-3, 6-3 whereas Henin defeated Nadia Petrova of Russia by 6-1, 6-4. The Belgians will face each other in next three days.
Thiemo de Bakker of Netherlands beat Isner by 6-0, 6-3, 6-2 in their second round match. Isner had completed a first-round meeting with Nicolas Mahut of France that lasted for as long as 11 hours and five minutes over three days. In an interview he said that he was obviously a bit drained and just didn’t have much in the way of his legs. He was low on fuel out there early and didn’t have a chance.
