After a courageous win against Australian former world number 1, Lleyton Hewitt, Jarkko Nieminen earned the right to battle the current world number one, Novak Djokovic.
In a memorable five set win over veteran rival Lleyton Hewitt, the fans at Wimbledon took the time to bid their knight a fond farewell. For, Jarkko Nieminen, the winner (11-9 in fifth), it gets a bit more complicated in Round Two. He will not have the excited British crowd against him, but they may not be with him either.
In fact, Jarkko will not win this match. The focus goes to survival. Can the Finn survive the Serbian onslaught? Novak was efficient and methodical in Round One but certainly not flamboyant. He knows better. The defending champ is still smarting from his loss in the finals at Roland Garros but he appears focused and ready in London. That spells bad news for the gritty Nieminen. Three sets are all the defending champ will need on Wednesday.
