Srpski teniser Janko Tipsarević nije uspeo da se plasira u polufinale turnira u Stokholmu, jer je u maratonskom duelu juče izgubio od Japanca Juićija Sugite 6:2, 4:6, 7:6 (7:4).
Tipsarević je posle tri sata i 12 minuta, uz čak devet spasenih lopti, ipak morao da potpiše poraz i tako okonča poslednji turnir u karijeri, pre nego što se oprosti i od reprezentacije Srbije na Završnom Dejvis kupu u novembru u Madridu.
