Murray is out! It's some kind of sensation even though Verdasco has been playing (in my opinion) excelent tennis here! Haven't seen that match unfortunately, I cannot write much about it. I just have read some about but I'm not satisfied. Hope someone who was able to watch it is going to write some about the match.

Btw, Tsonga is on his way to qfs as he seems to be pretty much confident. Blake is struggling a lot, unfortunately I cannot see any chance for him.

All Djokovic needs to do now is quit at the US Open and he's got a career grand slam of quitting.
He had to do it against Roddick:

I would question Djokovic's preparation as he spent New Year in Serbia while most of the other players spent it in Australia or the Middle East to acclimatise to the hot conditions, which Djokovic gave himself less time to do. He had a round of golf before playing Gulbis in Brisbane, instead of a practice session, and that was his main warm-up tournament. He just didn't prepare well and it makes me wonder about his commitment and dedication.

Federer played awfully well against Del Potro, that was a total beasting.

muhahahaha
FedExpress racing to the title

Very typical of Djokovic in my oppinion. Probably saw that Roddick was playing well, and that he himself was not as his best and hadn't really recovered properly since his late night finish in his previous match, and so pulled out. I think the likes of Federer and Nadal would have continued playing.
I agree.

I bet Nadal in 4 and Federer in 5 .

I think Andy will be able to win this match against Roger if he defends his service game properly. I do think Andy should focus on more offensive netplay, though, he allows himself to get pushed behind the baseline sometimes.

Comfortable enough win for Federer. He was always controlling the match and while Roddick gave a bit of resistance in the second & third sets, Federer was always the more threatening on return and eventually got the breakthrough.
I've got to say that Roddick made a great shot in the third set when he lined up what looked like a big groundstroke to the baseline but instead dropped the ball into the service box with it spinning sideways on landing. Great disguise and execution.

I think Verdasco's this year's Stepanek as both their women have been playing a lot worse since they got together. I hope Verdasco's relationship lasts a very long time.
