Upsets marked the early rounds of Wimbledon this year, and while Monday held another tremendous upset in the women’s draw, the men’s draw played out very much as expected.

No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic allowed No. 13 Tommy Haas back into the match in the third set, but Djokovic closed out their round of 16 contest in a tiebreak to earn the three-set victory and a quarterfinals berth.

That match ended almost simultaneously with the showdown between No. 7 Tomas Berdych and Bernard Tomic, via Wimbledon’s Twitter feed. Many were watching Djokovic and Haas in hopes of another upset, but Berdych and Tomic produced perhaps one of the most exciting matches of the entire tournament thus far.

Wimbledon's Twitter feed encompassed the feel of each match with these tweets:



On the women’s side, No. 1 Serena Williams fell victim to another shocking Grand Slam upset, dropping a three-set affair to No. 23 Sabine Lisicki in stunning fashion.



While those three matches weren’t all impressive from start to finish, each offered at least one tremendous performance worth taking a closer look at. Let’s break down each match and highlight what made each showdown an intriguing Wimbledon affair.

 

No. 1 Novak Djokovic vs. No. 13 Tommy Haas



Djokovic’s straight-set victory over Haas was an interesting contest, but in the end, the world No. 1 proved why he is the favorite to traverse the Wimbledon field for a shot at the title.

The 26-year-old got off to a tremendous start in the match, taking a 4-0 lead before taking the set 6-1. It looked as if Djokovic would cruise to an easy victory in the round of 16, but Haas gained some steam in the second set to take a 4-3 advantage before fading to a 6-4 defeat.

But the third set highlighted why the crescendo of this match was both entertaining and encouraging. Article Source: Bleacher Report - Tennis
