Petzschner downs Youzhny in Munich

Petzschner broke Youzhny's serve three times as he booked his place in the last eight much after two hours and 16 minutes to the delight of the home fans.
Only two other matches were completed on a rain-interrupted day with Potito Starace booking a place opposite Petzschner after a 6-4 6-2 win over sixth seed Sergiy Stakhovsky.
Bulgarian teenager Grigor Dimitrov produced a thrilling comeback when he saved two match points to shock fourth seed Marcos Baghdatis 3-6 7-6(6) 6-2.
Dimitrov trailed by a set and 6-4 in the second set breaker before reeling off four straight points to snatch the set and then going off to seal the match.
"It was a great match, especially when I won it in the end," Dimitrov told the ATP World Tour website.
"It's just an unbelievable feeling. I was two match points down and I found a way to get back up right away and turn the match in a way that I really wanted to.
Fifth seeded Florian Mayer's match against Teimuraz Gabashvili was postponed until Thursday due to the persistent rain.
