Kohlschreiber shows emotions
The third round was awesome especially because Philipp Kohlschreiber the number 29 in the atp list won his match against the favor number 4 in the world Novak Djokovic.
I follow the game on saturday and it was breathtaking and really one of the best best games in the 3. round. Kohlschreiber played his best tennis and dominates the game from the beginning.
Djokovic could never show his real power, maybe it was not his day, but I think Kohlschreiber was too strong. He defeated him in three sets, each with 6:4. I’m really satisfied that two germans, in fact Kohlschreiber and even Haas reach the round of sixteen and now everything is possible but at least its a great success for german tennis. If you want an impression and the highlights of the whole third round including the best points of the Djokovic match look at the following you tube video.

Thomas Haas – Jeremy Chardy 7:5, 6:3, 4:6, 6:4

Hey,
I was suprised by Kohlschreiber and Haas and the way they started the tournament. Unfortunately they are already out of the game for this year. Maybe in the near future Germany will have a tennis player who is able to challenge the best in the world and win a few tournaments. At the moment it seems really hard for German players to keep up with the rest of the world both woman and men.
I’m looking forward to the final rounds of the French Open. Unfortunaltely your last video seems to be cancelled by YouTube or someone else!?
Keep going
