    Wow comes up short again, possibly returning to pre-AO mode. Djoko-Murray match is off to a great start, both players fighting tooth and nail for each point. Djoko consolidating the early break to go up 4-1.

    The match was on Stan's racquet. He literally opened the door for Kei to come back in the middle of the second and the start of the third set. Kei was also not without his mistakes. Forsaking a break of serve in the third to get the set to a tie breaker. But anyways it made for some entertaining tennis. Wonder how much its gonna take out of Kei come the semi final considering the number of times he's been forced to withdraw from matches in the past and also the grueling last two matches he's had. Will not be surprised if the guy's gassed out

    It was a great match. Stan had so many opportunities even in the 5th set to go up a break but couldn't convert. Had just one bad serving game and it was enough.
    Tennis could be cruel many times.

    Nishi has two days off until the semis on Saturday which I am sure will be a night match for him. But with Nishi you never know until the last minute.

    Djoko did to Murray what Murray had done to him couple of years back at the final of the same tournament. Just wore him out and once Murray cramped up, was simply feeding him more balls to hit until he simply tired out and gave up. First three sets were amazing, fourth set as Djoko himself acknowledged was erratic, but understandably so. Both guys played very solid tennis with low margin for error. Fed will have to tighten up if he does get to play a final against Djoko. Should get through Monfils, though nothing is certain these days with Fed. But Berd, if he beats Cilic, has the capacity to upset Fed esp since he serves well and Fed's return game is a bit weak now.

    Fun stat: Djoko and Murray put together made 7 double faults over 4 sets, 1 less than Sharapova's 8 in a three setter against Wozniacki. And 8 is actually low by Sharapova's standards.

    காலிறுதி தாண்டவே ரொம்பவும் மெனக்கெடனும் போல. என்னைக் கேட்டால் இந்தமுறை காலிறுதிவரை வந்ததே ரோஜரின் அதிர்ஷ்டம். அவருக்கு சவால்களை கொடுக்கவல்ல எதிராளி காலிறுதிக்கு முன்வரையிலான ஆட்டங்களில் அமையப் பெறவில்லை.

    முதல் சர்வ் நினைத்த நேரத்தில் கைகொடுக்க வில்லை இதுவரை. வழக்கமாக அரையிறுதி/இறுதி ஆட்டங்களில் தொற்றிக்கொளும் மெண்டல் பிளாக் இப்போதே ரோஜருக்கு வந்துவிட்டது. ஆனால் இவரை இதுபோல சவால்களுக்கும், அழுத்தத்திற்கும் உள்ளாக்கும்போதுதான் சிறப்பான விதத்தில் அதுவரை வெளிக்காட்டாத திறமைகளை வெளிக்கொணர்கிறார். ஆனாலும் இன்றைக்கு மான்ஃபிலை வீழ்த்துவது அவ்வளவு எளிதல்ல என்பதுபோலவே தோணுது.

    Totally a new Federer in 3rd and 4th sets. Much more aggressive and change of game approach. Now the real monster of this sport is swallowing Monfils.

    Gael Monfils wins the first two sets, but loses the next three (and the match) to Roger Federer.
