Robby Ginepri: Match
built 255 days ago
On the tour, Ginepri's results in 2006 did not match 2005. He lost in the second round of the Australian Open and the first round of both the French Open and Wimbledon. At the U.S. Open, he lost in the third round to German Tommy Haas in a fifth set tiebreaker. He finished the year ranked World No. 51 and with a 24-26 record.

Ginepri controlled his match from the start. He had slipped from a career-high ranking of 15th in 2005 to 135th coming into this week. After losing to Blake in the third round of the Australian Open last year, Ginepri didn't win consecutive matches again until June.

The old Robby was ranked No. 15 in the world in 2005, a U.S. Open semifinalist who beat six top-10 players in the sizzling second half of that year. In a record four consecutive five-set matches at the U.S. Open, Ginepri took down Tommy Haas in the third round, Richard Gasquet in the fourth round and Guillermo Coria in the quarterfinals. Only the legendary Andre Agassi could hold him off in the fifth set of their semifinal.

Ginepri entered the Open with a record of just 8-16 for the year, a player in search of the overachieving form that took him all the way to a five-set battle in the Open semifinals against Andre Agassi two years ago. Just last month, he hired renowned coach Jose Higueras and looked impressive through two straight-set victories in the opening two rounds. A winnable round-of-16 match against No. 20 Juan Ignacio Chela of Argentina, a winner over No. 12 Ivan Ljubicic yesterday, seemed imminent until Wawrinka, who was powered by 16 aces and a dominating backhand, broke him at 15 to go up 5-4 in the fourth set.

An easy win like that would have been no big deal when the Fort Lauderdale-born Ginepri was ranked in top 20. Now it means something again. Ginepri, 25, lost his first match in 12 of 20 tournaments in 2007.
