Richard Gasquet made the round of 16 on Friday, following his straight-set victory over Italy’s Simone Bolelli. The Frenchman is joined in round four by Feliciano Lopez, who upset three-time finalist Andy Roddick.
Feliciano Lopez def. (8) Andy Roddick 7-6(2), 7-6(2), 6-4
Feliciano Lopez recorded his first victory against 8th seed Andy Roddick early Friday. The 29-year-old Spaniard is through to the round of 16, having upset the three-time Wimbledon runner-up in straight sets. Lopez tallied 28 aces and 57 winners en route to a 7-6(2), 7-6(2), 6-4 success in two hours and 18 minutes.
"It's definitely great win for me," Lopez said after his match. "I beat a couple of great players at Wimbledon in the last 10 years. But to beat Andy in this court is very special."
"I got beat. He served about as well as someone has... I thought his second serve was great today," said Roddick. "He mixed up his serve. There weren't a whole lot of patterns. So he played an outstanding match.”
Lopez will take on either 9th seed Gael Monfils or Lukasz Kubot for a spot in the quarterfinal.

Roddick v Lopez match
I'm finding that Roddick's best days are behind him as he is more of a 20-something ranked player these days. Yes, Lopez played well but it was clear that Roddick's return of serve and baseline game was inferior to Lopez's. A-Rod needs to change his game and his coach.
