Looks like Nadal is gettting a run for his money at this very moment. I'm sure he will pull it out interesting though. A few top guys have really struggled this far.

And Nadal is out!!!! Soderling brought his A-game; took down Rafa in 4 sets. Shocking!!! He has to be fuming he lost to a guy he doesn't like after that Wimbledon they played with Soderlin making fun of him.....

Well Fed will step it up and see this as his oppurtunity to take it, now that his nemesis is gone. Will be funny if Fed gets knockd out by Haas tomorrow. Kind of open now. Go Fed!!!! Or Gonzalez, Murray or Verdasco.

King of Clay just got dethroned

Wow I can't believe that. It really is open now. Incredible how the tops dogs are getting taken out. I wouldn't be surprised if Monfils gets by Roddick tomorrow then he mihgt take the whole thing. Don't get me wrong I want Roddick to Win but the chances of that are slim to none.

Murray or Verdasco (even though hes down a set right now) could surprise us all to. Like you said Legion it really is wide open.

I have come to like Monfils; but he is still hit and miss. No way he takes it; his fitness over the long haul has always been in question. Tsonga would beat him 1st. Verdasco is a beast. Murray won't win here; clay just isn't his surface ye; though he is playing good. Gonzales will probably beat Murray as he is hot right now. It is open though ad exciting. feelbad for Rafa; hate seeing that undefeatedrecord go. But I realy want Fed to get this one before the poor guy has a nervous breakdown in front of the whole world

Good stuff; this week will be lots of fun. Ivanovich is out thankfully; mental midgit. She's a one-hit wonder and I'm glad Azarenka spanked her

Go Safina!!!!!!

Ubelievable, still taking it in ! Not only was Nadal beaten but he was OUTPLAYED throughout the whole match. Its not even like he played badly, Soderling was just absolutely immense. Never seen a guy make Rafa chase so much and then deliver the coup de grace. He owned him in the last tiebreak.

Bookies had Soderling at 100/1 before the match !

Yeah; I think Nadal is tired after this season, but even so Soderling just outplayed him. Immense fh and double backhand hitting; Nadal was having hell catching up to Soderlings serve. Just one of them things. The best match Soderling ever played; and credit to him for keeping his shit together and not letting the moment catch up to him and losin his composure. Soderling did not want a 5th set. There is no love lost between them lol. I'm still in shock.
