Murray out! Hahahaha who were those labelling him the new sheriff in town when the Nadalmeister was still fit and firing? Looks like a Djoker vs Wawrinka semi

Shocking performance from Murray and ruthlessly exposed by some brutal hitting from Stan. Wawrinka is a very talented aggressive player and he almost beat Djokovic at the Australian Open earlier this year, where he lost a brutal 5 hour encounter. For sure, if he does the unthinkable and repeats today's feat against Novak, then Nadal would walk the title. His game, particularly that single-handed backhand is tailor made to be destroyed by Nadal's lefty, vicious spinning forehand which would take the ball out of Stan's strike zone on the backhand. Stan also has a terrible head-to-head record against Rafa.

But I'm predicting another Rafa-Novak showdown in the final and that result is too hard to call.

Serena battering Li Na with merciless abandon. She is in a class of her own. Perhaps, she should join the men's tour.

Women's tennis should have a boxing-style weight class. Serena is just too powerful for many of the poor, little girls. Brutal power.

Now unto the more interesting semis tomorrow. Djokovic-Stan is first off before Nadal takes on Gasquet. Two baseline grinders with double-handed backhands in Nadal and Djokovic taking on the fluid, elegant single-handed backhands of Richard and Stan respectively. You would of course fancy Nadal and Novak to come through those tests but if Stan can re-enact his form against Murray, he'll give Djokovic plenty to think about.

Djokovic had a lot of unforced errors against Youzhny if he tries that with Wawrinka there might be an upset

For the women's draw too bad the people that consistently gave Serena fits (Clijsters,Henin) are no longer on the tour! My new iyawo Vika is sitting duck as far as I'm concerned

Very wrong, if there is anyone on tour that can beat Serena efficiently, it is Vika.

Efficiently? Truth is Vika is good and one of the best hitters and returners on the WTA courts, but up against Serena, she has some serious task ahead, Serena leads their head to head 12-3, and 7-0 in grand slams however Vika won their last match weeks back in a tight 3 setter, so the final is really gonna be worth watching.

Bro...I'm so pro-Serena that I don't mind seeing a one-sided final so far it favours her. cool I want her to beat some records bfor she drops her racket.

I can watch a competitive final if Djokovic and Nadal eventually meet.

I don't think there's any full blooded black man that's not a fan of Serena too but I don't remember seeing a decent female's final for quite sometime! All I want to see is someone that would give Serena a run for her money I'm pro-Serena as well but I'm not obnoxious about it

It's over for Stan, he is technically superior and a better shot-maker than Novak but stamina seems to rule in the modern game and Novak's stamina is beastly. Poor Stan. cry

This is what happens when all courts are being slowed down and the advantage is being ceded to the defensive players with bigger lungs rather than better skills.
