Lukasz Kubot of Poland: Surprise Fourth Round Appearance in Wimbledon 2011




Lukasz Kubot of Poland has reached the fourth round of Wimbledon 2011.  This is the second time Lukasz gets to the fourth round of a Grand Slam.  Last year, he did just that in the Australian Open.  This is also by far, his best performance in Wimbledon.  That's a great achievement for a player currently ranked #93 in the world!

In the first round, Kubot had to win over veteran Arnaud Clement of France (#143), then he tamed the big-serving Croat Ivo Karlovic (#144) in the second round, then had a sensational 4-set victory over #8 seed Gael Monfils.  In the fourth round, he will meet #44 Feliciano Lopez of Spain.  Both have a good chance of making it into their first Wimbledon quarterfinals!
