Tipsarevic Wins A Close 4-setter

Janko Tipsarevic defeats James Duckworth 3-6, 6-2, 7-6, 6-4. The Australian native James Duckworth created a buzz in the tennis world when he took the first set against the ninth seed, Janko Tipsarevic. Largely unknown, Duckworth played very aggressively the first set and Tipsarevic was far from his best. In the second set, Duckworth's concentration lapsed, and Tipsarevic pounced, winning with a double break. The 3rd set was a close affair and had to go to the tiebreak where some spectacular tennis was played. However Tipsarevic got the mini-break and won 7 points to 5. The last set was also close but Tipsarevic was the one who made it to the finish line. A confidence boosting win to the Serbian Number 2, who was the sixth man in 2011 to beat Djokovic, an elite club of players.
