Djokovic downed by Kohlschreiber

Originally published on: 26/02/10 12:31

The German 29th seed was a 6-4 6-4 6-4 winner over Djokovic, who has reached the semi-finals at Roland Garros for the past two years.

The result is even more of a surprise given the Serbian’s great clay-court campaign, which has seen him win a title in Belgrade, make two finals – in Monte Carlo and Rome – and reach a semi-final in Madrid.

Kohlschreiber, who had previously never gone further than the second round here, will play Tommy Robredo next.
