Unforced errors helped the 27-year-old American on his way to breaking Djokovic\u2019s serve in the third and seventh games and he took the set 6-2 in 33 minutes.{nl}{nl}The momentum was with the 23-year-old from Serbia in the rest of the match. He stormed through the third set making two breaks to win it convincingly 6-1 in 31 minutes.{nl}{nl}The fourth set was routine for Djokovic. He dictated play and  raced out to a double break (4-0) lead. He lost only two games before serving for the match and closed it 6-2.{nl}{nl}<b>&#8220;He was very aggressive from the start. He played well. I was lucky to pull out that first set in my favor. Second set, as usual in these tournaments, went the other way for my opponent,&#8221;<\/b> said Novak after the match.{nl}{nl}<b>&#8220;Unfortunately I lost focus. But I overcome it, you know, again. Third and fourth were really, really good. I was aggressive, I was serving well, and playing from all over the court. With that kind of game I performed in the third and fourth set, I think I have a good chance against anybody on the court now.&#8221; <\/b>{nl}{nl}Novak had 2 aces and served at 70 per cent{nl}{nl}The Serb hit 36 winners to Ginepri\u2019s 31, and made 29 unforced errors to the American\u2019s 32{nl}{nl}Djokovic converted 5 of his 9 break points, while Ginepri capitalised on only 2 of his 8 chances for break {nl}{nl}The third-seeded Belgrade native improved to 5-0 lifetime against Ginepri. He will look to continue his run when he faces no.22 seed Jurgen Melzer in quarter-finals on Wednesday. The Austrian defeated Russian qualifier and world no.114 Teimuraz Gabashvili 7-6(6), 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 in 2 hours and 54 minutes.{nl}{nl}Djokovic won both matches against Melzer. The last was in Halle 2009 (6-1, 6-4).{nl}{nl}<object width=\"525\" height=\"316\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/XhQoB6EAtns&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/XhQoB6EAtns&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"525\" height=\"316\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two-time Roland Garros semi-finalist Novak Djokovic is through to the quarter-finals of French Open 2010 following a 6-4, 2-6,  6-1, 6-2 win over world no.98 American Robby Ginepri on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":2552,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[101012069],"class_list":["post-1025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tennis","tag-roland-garros-2010"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1025"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1025\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28279,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1025\/revisions\/28279"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/novakdjokovic.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
