biolabee:

ok.. u maybe right but in the last 2 years.. it has been mostly 1 & 4 jamming in semis...

U know what they say "the luck of the draws". Not to worry there are many conspiracy theorists who believe the draws are fixed, but then it would have made sense to keep Nole and Rafa apart till the final.

FEDEX drops the first set to Tsonga.
It is hotting up

Second set Tsonga leads 4 games to 1
But then, the fowl has not crossed the road yet

Afam4eva: How come the likes of Djokovic, Nadal and Federer rarely meet themselves in the Quarters. The mostly meet each other in the finals or in a few occasions the semis. Are players seeded for competitions like it's done in football?

YES
The term 'seed' was first used in tennis anyway.

Tsonga always knows fedex buttons. he always struggles against power players

Serena beat Kutnesova 6-3, 3-6 and 6-3. She ia now in the semis to face Sara Errani.

Again, i repeat, watch out for Ferrer.
Cruising lead all the way, barely struggling against any opponent.
I just hope he does not develop his high fever once he sees Iron Monkeyman

Meantime, Robredo was decisioned, easily
Tommy Robredo 2 1 1
David Ferrer 6 6 6

ZACHIE: Again, i repeat, watch out for Ferrer.
Cruising lead all the way, barely struggling against any opponent.
I just hope he does not develop his high fever once he sees Iron Monkeyman

Ferrer has always reached the semis in grand slams. No surprise here.

But he always tends to stop there.

Va Va Voom #teamtsonga

Federer bows out quietly.....Enough of poetry, time for some rock and roll
Wilfried Tsonga 7 6 6
Roger Federer 5 3 3

The maestro is out..... Ferrer vs Tsonga 1st semis

tsonga played well 2day, just classic and serena? thot it was the end when kutznesova was 2-0 up in the decider.

Yay! Tsonga won.

#Tsonga downs Old Roger in straight sets# Now why am I not surprised?!

King fed out... the next big gun..RAFA?

Nole for the Career Slam!!!

Yay!

Clay has never been Fed's domain. His only victory that earned him the career Slam was when Rafa was injured (a fit Rafa would also have won that year's French Open)and knocked out by Soderling. I'm sure Fed would give a better performance at his twilight on the grass - Wimbledon is his since Pete Sampras.

Anyways, no upset expected today. . . .waiting for the semis jare. That's where the intrigues lie.

biolabee: King fed out... the next big gun..RAFA?

Nole for the Career Slam!!!

Yay!

Nadal would beat Nole easy! Last season Nole's best shot after 3 straight victories in GS Finals he still couldn't beat Nadal

My beau Sharapova not finding it easy against Jankovic. 1 set apiece with Jankovic taking the first set 6-0 while Sharapova took the 2nd set at 6-4. The decider set is currently on-going.

sharapova - jankovic. . . .3-3 with Janokovic serving now. very intense tennis from both ladies!

Sharapova breaks serve to lead 4-3. Hope she holds her nerves and just take it from there.

coolguyz: My beau Sharapova not finding it easy against Jankovic.

For your wandering mind.
abeg, leave my memento alone.

Anyways, she sails at the end. So does Azarenka.
Nadal is on cruise control against Wawrinka.
I am enjoying myself. me and my Sharap girl.

A-40:

Nadal would beat Nole easy! Last season Nole's best shot after 3 straight victories in GS Finals he still couldn't beat Nadal

Nadal is a monster on clay.. like chelsea he will just struggle and may still win even though he is not top notch..

id like nole to win the career slam now before he starts waning

This is the Nadal we know. . . .has taken the !st set 6-2 against Wawrinka and just broke serve to lead 2-1 in the 2nd set

A-40:

Nadal would beat Nole easy! Last season Nole's best shot after 3 straight victories in GS Finals he still couldn't beat Nadal

Drop it there while it is hot
Nole will not fall cheaply to anyone, whatever their name is...
iron Monkey fears no foe, whatever the surface is....nonetheless, i am with NADAL on this one

Meanwhile, somewhere on another court:
Nadal rides roughshod over Wawrinka.
Nole pushes Tommy Haas over the edge

The final before the insignifanct final draws close
Djoko Vrs Nadal..............................................On clay

Nadal lead 6-2, 6-3, and currently leading 5-1 in the final set and is serving for the set.

in other news, Nole leads Haas by 2 set as well, winning 6-3, 7-6 and the third set is at 5-5

Nadal just depatched Wawrinka in 3 straight sets 6-2, 6-3, 6-1

Nole just broke Haas to lead the 3rd set at 6-5 and he's serving for the set. Haas was not a push over, the guy came to play as well. The 2nd set that went to tie break was won 7-5.

cant wait for the final before the final!

Serena vs errani
AZARENKA vs SHARAPOVA
RAFA vs DJOKOVIC
Ferrer vs Tsonga

Nadal vs djokovic probably gonna be the match of the tournament, you have got to be on one side this....Nadal is in immense form and could beat anyone, but djokovic is always the guy that could surprise us, he's got this confidence that just comes out of nowhere when he needs it

Rafa and Djokovic match is goin to be intense, you cant bet against either of them. Whatever happens i'm goin to enjoy the match, #TeamNadal

Go Nole for career slam

But if rafa wins.. It's a good result after losing to rosol on grass

Nole can never get his career slam while Rafa dominates on clay. Though I must say, Rafa's fitness level has dropped a notch since returning from injury. Next month's performance on Wimbledon will determine if he's fully fit or not

Can't wait for the women's semi-finals. I'm precicting a Serena-Vika final

My beau still battling azarenka ooo. 3rd deciding set on the cards now. 6-1, 2-6 against azarenka to split the sets at 1 apiece.

This 3rd set is very tight. Could go in either lady's favour. I'm tipping Sharapova for the final sha.
