10:15pm Tuesday 23rd June 2009 in Tennis By Graham Merry
BASINGSTOKE tennis ace Josh Goodall was knocked out of Wimbledon on Tuesday afternoon, but not before taking Frenchman Michael Llodra to five sets, eventually losing 4-6, 7-6, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.
The match which started on Monday night, but was suspended due to bad light with each player having won a set.
When the match resumed in bright sunshine on Tuesday and Llodra drew first blood taking the third set 6-4, but Goodall showed his new resolve and squared the match by winning the fourth set 6-3.
That set up a decider which the Frenchmen won 6-4 on his first break point of the set.
