Spain's Poster Boy for Tennis Feliciano Lopez into another Wimbledon Fourth Round
While doing my research, I was very surprised to find out that Wimbledon has been the best place for Feliciano Lopez to show his skills. He reached the quarters here in 2005 and 2008 and the fourth round in 2002, 2003, and again this year. Feliciano had to defeat #10 seed Andy Roddick to get to the fourth round again, and counts veteran Rainer Schuettler and Michael Berrer as his second and first round conquests, this time around. He has a good chance of reaching the quarters again (for the third time perhaps?) since his next opponent, Lukasz Kubot has a ranking twice than his, so on paper, Lopez should win. Anyhow, let's see if Lopez rises again to the occasion!
