All England Pretty Boys Club

After Roger Federer nearly lost in the first round at Wimbledon yesterday, there was no telling what could happen next. Fortunately for Novak Djokovic, he too was able to come from behind -- with a little help from the new Centre Court roof -- not because of rain, but because of fading sunlight -- taking out scrappy Olivier Rochus of Belgium, 4-6, 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2. (Didn't think he could top his Adidas look, but I'm definitely feeling the Sergio Tacchini duds.)

Last year's runner-up, Andy Roddick, had little trouble with Rajeev Ram, defeating the American 6-3, 6-2, 6-2

Feliciano Lopez -- who we recently found out pulled a Tom Brady, impregnating his now-ex-girlfriend -- defeated Jesse Levine 7-6 (7-2), 3-6, 6-2, 6-3

But Spanish heartthrob Tommy Robredo wasn't so fortunate as his fellow pretty boys, falling to
Peter Luczak in four, 2-6, 7-6 (7-3), 6-2, 7-5
