Grosjean makes French connection

Sebastien Grosjean has given himself a fighting chance of becoming the first Frenchman to capture the Wimbledon title since 1946 after sweeping past Robby Ginepri in three sets today.

The 26-year-old, who boasts an outstanding record on grass over the past couple of seasons, beat Ginepri 6-2 6-2 7-6 (7/4) to set up a last-eight clash with Wimbledon debutant Florian Mayer of Germany.
