Andy Roddick tried valiantly, but once again came up with the short end of the stick at Wimbledon.
Roddick's time is over the All England Club in 2012, after being defeated in his 3rd round match to Spain's seventh-ranked David Ferrer, 2-6, 7-6 (10-8), 6-4, 6-3.
The 30th-seeded Roddick appeared unstoppable in the first set, beating Ferrer with a wide array of tremendous shots. Unfortunately for Roddick, Ferrer took control from there, starting with a great second set in which he won the tiebreak.
