Federer had me a little nervous yesterday. I was at the gym on the eliptical watching it, they were both tied with one set a piece and now playing in third set and Acasuso was up 4 games to nothing. I was like what the hell is goingon with Federer. I then went to lift some wieghts and after being in there for awhile popped my head in to check the score and Federer had came back and won that set and was about to win the fourth for the watch. I was impressed.

Yeah Fed was on the ropes with Jose. He's played Jose before, bt that was the 1st time on clay I think. You never know how another opponent will be on clay vs. hardcourt, and I think it threw him off. I knew Rog would win, if it had to go to a 5 setter; he didn't seem to be panicking. His stats for the game were actually pretty good, and he played some amazing defense when he had to.

I liked the fact it pushed him; Fed always plays better in a major if he is pushed in the tourny, by the time he gets to he finals he is on par. Only problem is so is Nadal. But last year Fed didn't have a tough draw and got steamrolled by Rafa; at least the 2 previous years he was pushed to play better tennis leading up to the finals and made it more competitive, though he lost

I still think Novak will beat Fed in the 1/4's; that kid has become a monster on clay; and everyone seems tof orget about Verdasco.

Just saw that Nadal steamrolled Hewitt. I know Hewitt was never really good on clay but he has really fell off the ladder within the last year, hasnt he? Was he even ranked?

Yeah Hewiit was ranked #1 many moons ago. He has battled injuries and had hip surgery. He's pretty much done but has alot of fight in him. He can give hell on he hardcourt. One of the best matches I ever saw was him against Baghdati at the Australian Open. Longest match in AO history; epic match. ever get bored ck. it out; fun stuff.

Novak will beat Fed im sure of that, the problem is Acasuso is having one of his worst years ever and is in horrible form and he gave Federer a scare, like i said Nadal is to god over 5 sets no ones winning 3 out of 5 sets against Nadal on clay no chance.

On another note Murray won today hate the guy but hes fighing spirit is quality could make the semis to play Nadal with a bit of luck that would be a great achievement.

Acasuso is a hit and miss kind of player; never know whenhe'll bring a game. Credit to Roger though for doing what he's SUPPOSED to do though. He really would have bee crying had he lost to Jose

I like Murray. Guy has a great game, very fit physically, and has finally stopped his moping and whining and overall sh#tty attitude. Had a great year. I used to hate him because of his wanker attitude. Istill wonder though if he will ever win a major; maybe a couple but I see him as someone who might not ever hit the pinnacle; a step above a Davydenko if you will. He is a fighter but today Tipsy quit at the end of the second set and retired, so easy day.

Glad Venus got her ass whooped. Now if only Sharapova and Serena will fail. Only oneIgive a shit about is Safina, love that girl. The women's sideis dismal though. Ivanovich is a one hit wonder; Jankovich is B+ player.

Nadal could win this FO for the next 4-5 years in a row; amazing talent.

Novaks out! I'm surprised did not see that coming at all what an upset. Looks like we might see another Nadal\Fed final. Roddicks been playing pretty good tennis so far, but he always ends up blowing it. I wouldnt' mind seeing him win it (long shot I know) I think the last american to win was Agassi in 99 so about 10 years.

Very suprised Djokovic got beat big upset that, yes looks like another Nadal/Fed final with Nadal winning again, Murray Cillic will be a cracker tomorrow, Cilic beat Murray in the Juniors 2005, could be a tricky game for Murray, i think Roddick is playing very well right now but id fancy Monfils to beat him on clay in the next round.

Roddick will never win another Major; he's a one hit wonder. Monfils should beat him in 3 straight, maybe Andy takes a set off him.

LOL at Novak; doing his usual pouting, crying to the umpire that the court wasplaying like a hardcourt

Cilic/Murray will be a good one; I actually got Cilic winning.

Most likely Fed/Nadal. Ihpe Fed can at least return to a 2006 FO form; instead of a dismal final like last year. At least Fed can get to the finals over and over. Novak Jokeab#tch Wanker cry baby.

Just looked at the odds and Nadal is 100-1 odds onn to beat Soderling in his next match. Not bad odds in a 2 horse race
