As 2012 Wimbledon continues on Saturday, more and more players are advancing through the third round onto the fourth round of play. Juan Martin del Potro, the No. 9-seeded player, advanced through after taking down No. 25 seed Kei Nishikori in straight sets, but it wasn't easy.
del Potro won all three sets, but in the second set needed to win a tie break 7-3, then pushed on through his third set to win the match 6-1.
No. 10-seeded Mardy Fish was also in a battle to move onto the fourth round, taking down David Goffin in straight sets, but he had to go through two tie breaks to do so. Fish won the first set 6-3, but needed to win the next two sets 7-6 (8-6) and 7-6 (8-6) to work his way to the next round.
