Janko's sob story has a happy end

Serbia's Janko Janko Tipsarevic has revealed his decision to stop reading sad books is the secret to his Wimbledon run.

The world No40 has beaten two seeded players, Andy Roddick and Dmitry Tursunov, on his way to today's fourth-round clash with German Rainer Schuttler.

Tipsarevic, 24, said: "For the last few months I'm not reading as often as I used to. Some of the books I was reading were kind of depressing and I didn't really like thinking of the world that surrounds me after reading these books. It didn't really help my tennis too much."
