Preview: 2nd Men’s Doubles Semi Final Match in Wimbledon 2012

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.

Preview: 2nd Men’s Doubles Quarter Final Match in Wimbledon 2012

While the singles category has moved to its semi final round, the doubles category is still waiting to come up with its semi finalists. The first match of the Men’s Doubles quarter final has already been played between British Danish duo Jonathan Marray - Frederik Nielsen and James Cerretani- Edouard Roger-Vasselin where the British Danish pair came out as a winner to fix the first position in the semi final of Wimbledon 2012’s men’s doubles. The second match is between Romanian-Swedish pair, Horia Tecau-Robert Lindstedt and Daniele Bracciali-Julian Knowle.

In their third round match the Romanian-Swedish pair, Horia Tecau-Robert Lindstedt maintained a superb partnership to prevail over Belgium partners Olivier Rochus and Steve Darcis on last Tuesday. They have ruled the match and got a straight set victory in 6-4, 7-5, 7-6 (4) score line in just two hours and 11 minutes which paved their way straight to the last eight of All England Club. Initially, the match was 1-1 when each of the sides were holding their respective opening serves but as the match progressed, Tecau and Lindstedt started to dictate the match and ended the third game with 3-1 lead. Rochus and Darcis failed to bounce back and their opponent sealed the first set in 6-4. The fourth seeded duo, Tecau and Lindstedt smashed six aces and ended the second set without any double fault. With 79% first serve, grabbing 22 points, the tandem played an almost flawless match without an unforced error.

In the third set, they were more brilliant but their opponent bounced back and leveled their scores at 6-6 which led their match to a tie breaker.  Later Tecau and Lindstedt made a mini break which moved them to 3-1. After smashing two powerful volleys, they moved ahead by 5-2 when Rochus and Darcis won both the points and reduced the gap to 4-5. However, Romanian-Swedish pair made the final shot which delivered them two good points to call for a win in 7-6 (4).

They ended the game with 3 aces and 22 points to set a match against Austrian-Italian tandem, Daniele Bracciali and Julian Knowle. In the other match of the third round, they played fabulously with superb consistency between the duo to defeat J.Chela and E. Schwank in straight set victory in 7-5, 7-5, 6-1 score line. This win has made their way to the quarter final where they will face this fourth seeded pair. Unlike the third round match this will be a challenging game for this unseeded pair, Daniele Bracciali and Julian Knowle.
