Rafa went from to

But y'all see this is why Federer is Federer, and Djokovic is Djokovic. Gotta earn them wins against them, especially at Majors.

Djokovic is one of the most "he's dead in the wat...wait, WHAT? Where is this coming from?" players I've ever seen. shyt is amazing.

Fed would've lost if dude didn't hurt his leg. But I guess that's conditioning for you.

hell yeah

these dudes are killers. If they are vulnerable, you have to finish them or else.

yeah this is what separates the elite from the very good.

If Tsonga wins the racist French crowd will cheer for Roger over a Frenchman

You for real ?
Tsonga gets mad love from the crowd, ain't no way he'd be boo'd.
Fed is also one who get the most but don't be fooled, french people will always back the French (black or white) against anybody above all if it's against one of the top guys.

Anyway, I'm just ultra mad at the moment.
I was rooting for Delpo and Jo-Will and both lost in 5
The Big 4 is just something else, that's all, look at Gasquet yesterday which has been trashed after winning the 1st set. The gap seems immense.

I didn't see the match but Tsonga with 4 matchpoints ? Did he have them on Nole's serve ? If so, the guy's gonna have nightmare.
Delpo's knee was obviously a factor, it's a shame though because even Fed said he was lucky to win.

On the women side, I think Stosur got this this year.
She lost two years ago against Schiavone when she was the favorite because her mental was weak. Now, with the '11 US Open victory against Serena, she seems more mature, more confident.
Plus, she didn't lose any sets to reach the semis. I'm going with Cyborg Sam, then

Let's just get this out of the way;

Nadal in 3 over Almagro

Murray over Ferrer in 5


Friday:

Nadal in 3

Djoker in 3

Sunday:

Nadal in 4

 

[Liu Kang]

Ferrer seems really impressive but I don't know about Murray. The guy playing chess with his opponents and they lose it (ie Nieminem, Gasquet...), but Ferrer is a hell of a machine...
I'm going with Ferrer in 5.
Otherwise, I agree with the rest but I got Djoker in 5 against Fed.. I hope this match will be as epic as last year.

he never said boo'd

I thought murray was injured. Last i watched of this tournament was him getting the trainer out and him being unable to even jump when serving, i thought he was about to retire so i changed the channel.

Now i see he got through it and another match.

British grit and determination

He did it for liz and her jubilee, what a hero.

Great matches today, they were all I wanted them to be, except for the actual outcomes of course

Such a shame for Jo, I realllllllly want either him or Monfils to actually -make it- one of these majors

Nadal over Almagro in 3
Ferrer over Murray in 4

Federer over Djokovic in 5
Nadal over Ferrer in 4

Nadal over Federer in 3

I'm still not over the shot he played when Fed had match point in the US Open semi's

Del Potro wasn't the same after the tiebreak, still though some of those shots from Federer

I thought murray was injured. Last i watched of this tournament was him getting the trainer out and him being unable to even jump when serving, i thought he was about to retire so i changed the channel

That trainer worked wonders, he's been pretty great since, had the face on against Gasquet

 

[malbaker86]

I heard rain may be a factor tomorrow so they're going to play on separate courts like they did today

watching the 4th set on espn2 again, damn that was some great tennis
