American Brian Baker wins the Breakout Male Player for Wimbledon 2012 and deservedly so. He reached the fourth round today and will meet German Philipp Kohlschreiber. I have a good feeling he'd reach his first grand slam quarterfinal!!
Baker, ranked #126, made a big splash in Roland Garros earlier this year by reaching the second round. He also the reached the second round of Wimbledon 2012, defeating Portuguese Rui Machado (#96) 76(2) 64 60 in the first round.
