Robby Ginepri lost the third set against Marin Cilic, 6-2, to allow the 30th-seeded Croatian to take a 2-1 set lead.
After Ginepri stormed through the second set, 6-2, Cilic broke him in the opening game of the third set and added a late break to cruise to the win. The men remained on the baseline for the most part because when they decided to approach the net, the results weren't pretty. Ginepri was 2-for-14 at the net and Cilic was 0-for-17. Ginepri's major downfall was his 0-for-5 effort on break chances.
We'll see if he can turn things around ...
Federer, who holds a 2-0 set lead, is trying to finish off Thiago Alves over on Ashe. Dementieva made quick work of her opponent next door at Armstrong and will join Jankovic in the fourth round.
Later on at Armstrong, No. 15 Tommy Robredo will face Marat Safin in what could shape up to be an excellent match.
