Will
Tye Giants Jersey . The Canadian improved to 2-0 against the fifth-ranked
Berdych, beating the Czech star 6-2, 6-4 on Thursday night to advance to the
Citi Open quarter-finals. Berdych was the top seed in the hardcourt event.
Earlier, Steve Johnson knocked off another seeded, big-serving, NBA centre-sized
opponent, beating ninth-seeded Ivo Karlovic 3-6, 7-6 (4), 7-6 (7). The American
will face seventh-ranked and second-seeded Milos Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont.,
who beat No. 14 Lleyton Hewitt 7-6 (1), 7-6 (3). Berdych unofficially committed
21 unforced errors and had his serve broken four times, including the final game
of each set. Two of Pospisils three career top-10 wins have come against
Berdych, the first last year in Montreal. Berdych trailed 0-3 in the first set
and never recovered. Pospisil, ranked 36th, only lost serve once, fighting back
three of four break points. Johnson, ranked 68th, is turning into a giant
killer. The fourth-highest ranked American on tour entering this week topped
fifth-seeded John Isner in three sets Wednesday. The 6-foot-2 Johnson fended off
27 aces by the 6-foot-11 Karlovic after the 6-foot-10 Isner had 29. "Second day
in a row (I had) to play somebody with a massive serve," said Johnson, who is
4-1 in tiebreakers this week. "In a tiebreaker, anything can happen." Isner
double faulted in the third set tiebreaker to set up Johnson with match point.
The same scenario played out Thursday, though not until Johnson fended off two
match points to even the tiebreaker at 6-6. "I wouldnt say thats normal, but Im
not going to complain about that," the two-time NCAA Division I singles champion
said about the beneficial double faults. Karlovics third double fault of the
match gave Johnson an 8-7 lead. After serving out wide to Karlovics backhand,
Johnson moved in to strike the soft return. He smacked a forehand winner into
the corner to reach his fifth quarter-final in his second full season on tour.
Next up, 6-foot-5 Raonic. The Wimbledon semifinalist ranks third in aces behind
Isner and Karlovic. "Theyre getting shorter every day," Johnson cracked.
Sixth-seeded Richard Gasquet beat Tim Smyczek 6-3, 6-2. Seventh-seeded Kevin
Anderson also advanced, beating Malek Jaziri 6-3, 6-4. Donald Young beat No. 15
Denis Istomin 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 for his second straight victory over a seeded
player. In womens second-round play, second-seeded Ekaterina Makarova beat
Lauren Davis 6-2, 6-4; fifth-seeded Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova topped Hiroko
Kuwata 6-3, 6-3; sixth-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova beat Kirsten Flipkens 6-4,
