Long matches were the order of the day for the second half of the mens' round of 16. Roger Federer and
Igor Andreev set the tone with the first 2 sets of their match going to long tie-breaks with each player
winning one. The match would go to 5 sets, but eventually Federer prevailed.
Novak Djokovic was also taken the full distance by Tommy Robredo. Robredo took the first set, but when
Djokovic comfortably took out the second and third sets he looked set to progress. But the Spaniard had
other ideas, taking the 4th set 7-5 to force the match to a deciding set. But the crucial break of serve in the
last set went Djokovic's way.
5th seed Nikolay Davydenko departed, defeated in 4 sets by unseeded Luxemborgian Gilles Muller.
Meanwhile, 8th seed Andy Roddick progressed through to the quarter finals after a straight-sets win over
Fernando Gonzalez.
In the womens' tournament it was the first half of the quarter finals. Jelena Jankovic and Elena
Dementieva set up a semi-final showdown when both had comfortable straight-sets wins over their lower
seeded opponents.
