Arnaud Clement aims for best ever Wimbledon performance

Jun 29 2008 By Gavin Berry

ARNAUD CLEMENT is looking to beat his best Wimbledon performance by reaching the quarter-finals.

The Frenchman booked his last-16 place with victory over Austrian Jurgen Melzer in four sets yesterday.

It's the third time Clement has reached round four - he did it in 2001 and 2002 - but has never been beyond that stage.

He said: "It's great to be in the fourth round but I want to go one better because I've never been there."

Former Australian Open finalist Clement lost the first set 6-4 to Melzer who had never reached a Grand Slam last 16.

But complete with wacky headgear and shades Clement hit back in fine style to take the next three 6-3 6-4 6-4.
