While the first match in Men’s doubles has drawn much
attention because of the presence of the second seeded Bryan brothers who are
aiming for their third Wimbledon Grand Slam,
the second match is also an important match between the Swedish-Romanian
tandem, Robert Lindstedt and Horia Tecau and the Austrian-German pair, Jurgen
Melzer and Philipp Petzschner. The Swedish-Romanian duo slammed their
Italian-Austrian opponent, Daniele Bracciali and Julian Knowle in the quarter
final to move up to the next stage to set a match against Jurgen Melzer and
Philipp Petzschner. In the other match of the last eight of Wimbledon men’s
doubles, the Austrian-German pair knocked down their Brazilian-Croatian rival, 15th
seeded Melo and Dodig.
The fifth seeded Swedish-Romanian allowed their rival to
make just 10 games in the one hour 40 minutes long match, which they finally
ended in 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 straight set victory. Initially, both the sides were
playing maintaining a level with 2-2 scores. Lindstedt and Tecau finally
prevailed over the fifth round and ended the first set in 6-4. Similar to the
first set, the second set also started with a 1-1 score, after which the
Swedish-Romanian pair got through the third and fifth game to call for a 5-1
lead. Then Bracciali and Knowle made it to their side in the seventh game to
reduce the gap to 2-5. But when they failed to pull any break, they ended the
set in 2-6. After winning the first two set, the duo became more powerful in
the third set but the competition became more challenging and tough when the
attack from the opponent side became stronger. At one point, the game was
leveled at 4-4 but after that they ended the game in 6-4 lead to book a
position in the final four.
Jurgen Melzer and Philipp Petzschner on the other hand made
their way into the semi final round after slamming a 7-5, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 win
against Dodig and Melo. This pair is a strong opponent for the Swedish-Romanian
tandem because in their earlier Wimbledon encounter, the result was not in
favor of Lindstedt and Tecau. In Wimbledon 2010 final, the Swedish-Romanian
were beaten up by Melzer and Petzschner and remained contended with the runner
up title. In Wimbledon 2011, the same thing happened but that time the winner
was Bryan brothers. So this is a crucial match for Lindstedt and Tecau to make
their way into the final but Melzer and Petzschner are ready to repeat the same
history once more.
