Wimbledon

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray restored some order as the climactic second week of upset-marred Wimbledon began as the seeded knockout rate slowed among the men. Top seed Novak Djokovic got past a potentially dangerous Tommy Haas, dispatching the German 13th seed 6-1, 6-4, 7-6(4) but was threatened when he was broken while serving for victory at 5-3 in the third. No. 2 Murray reached the quarter-finals a 6-4, 7-6(5), 6-1 over of Russian Mikhail Youzhny.

“I knew I had a bad record against him on grass, he had beaten me both times we played on it,” said Djokovic, who will play seventh seed Tomas Berdych as the Czech defeated Bernard Tomic 7-6(4), 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-4. “It was a tough challenge for me but I played a really good match. I had to work for my games after winning the first set easily. I had a setback when I served for I, but I’m glad I closed it out in three.”

Murray will now will play Fernando Verdasco after the Spaniard beat Kenny De Schepper 6-4, 6-4, 6-4.

Murray cannot take any match for granted, especially at this roller-coaster edition. “Serena (Williams) lost today, Rafa’s lost, Roger’s lost. These guys and girls are better players than me, achieved more than me. If they can lose, so can I.” Murray added: “In the first few rounds I was more nervous. I felt calmer before this match. Now I’ll just concentrate on the next one. Youzhny had his chances and I had to not to let him in during the third set.”

Murray was joined in the last eight by Spain’s fourth seed David Ferrer, who completed a 6-7(3), 7-6 (6), 6-1, 6-1 comeback over Croatian Ivan Dodig.

Argentine No. 8 Juan Del Potro shook off a knee problem after a fall in his previous match to defeat Italy’s Andreas Seppi 6-4, 7-6(2), 6-3

A pair of Poles stood tall after reaching the last eight. Jerzy Janowicz held off Austrian Jurgen Melzer 3-6, 7-6(1), 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, while Lukasz Kubot beat Frenchman Adrian Mannarino 4-6, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
