I'm rooting for the French contigent. 
but more seriously Nadal is getting this one.

Djokovic retires as Roddick progresses to the semi.

What happened to Del Potro?

At least he didn't retire like . . .

Didn't see the match, but dang! 6-3, 6-0, 6-0.

I wonder how Roddick would be feeling.

Saw the last two sets of the Fed DelPo match . . . it was a training session. A clinic for up and coming tennis upstarts . . . the message was clear - simply bashing the ball back at 100miles/hr is not the way to win a slam. Cilic, Ferrer, Gonzalez take note.

Its all going with the Federal express

Federer all the way. ko sori anybody nibe men.

ask del potro and he'll tell u to "ask federer what happened". he said that for real, getting a player spanked like that should show yu the potential of the new fed express. i really hope to see a federer nadal showdown in the finale.

Roddick and Federer on
good game .

This might be another 5 hour game from what im seeing
first set to FED ; lets see

2 hr 10 mins !!!
that was cool from FED.

roddick, blown away.
3 straight sets to luv

Did you think Roddick was going to win?

Federer has beaten Roddick 16 times in 18 meets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is awesome

I guess rumor's of Federer's demise was premature

FEDERER baba , je wun lo

Verdasco's taken the first set off Nadal,and is battling for the second as well.Tied 4-all.
Nadal looks shockingly off-key today.

well. . . . . nadal's taken set 2 and they're both tied on 6 all in set 3. . . . . .

c'mon Nadal

Geeeez. . . . . Verdasco's hitting 'em big ones like its his birthright - ace number 12 at 211kmph - gosh, this guy should be doing the short-put not tennis!

Pheeeeeeeew

Nadal's taken set 3 in tie break. . . . . . set 4 is on the way - seems to me this is the first set Nadal's dropped all tourney long or not so

Verdasco seems 2 have some problems with his hip. . . . . just retire old man!

oh man. . . . . verdasco's up in the 4th set. . . . 6-5 - he's threatening to take it to the distance!

oh my word. . . . . this is exhilarating stuff!

Nadal fights back and breaks Verda - 6 all - we're into another marathon round of tie-break. . . . . . C'mon Nadal, win this and go get some rest 4 d big 1!

And they head into set 5. . . . . . this is a marathon!

Verdasco wins set 4 at the death, he absolutely blew past Nadal like he wasn't there!

this Verdasco guy is a monster!!!
too much power

first of the last set goes to Nadal.

lets see, this is one of the most interesting recently

Damn this poncho verdasco just wont lie down!

I dunno if verdasco can go past fed if he gets into d finals. I dont just trust him. I'd prefer a Nadal - Fed final. And by d way, this guy has a very dangerous serve! o:

Fed must be shivering whereva he is at d moment. He seems to have lost a huge chunk of his confidence. Fed fans just have to live wid dat

Fed must be shivering whereva he is at d moment. He seems to have lost a huge chunk of his confidence. Fed fans just have to live wid dat

this Verdusco is an animal
his service can cause fracture

Nadalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll has done it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a relief!!!!!!!!!!!!!

almost a 6 hour game!

If you missed this game you havent watched the AO this 2009!
fireworks!!!

Lefty wide serve to deuce court is one of the most dangerous advantages a leftie has over a rightie.

Fed shivering? He'd be beside himself with joy . . . how better to prepare for a match with Nadal than to have him play a 5hr tiring match less than 48hrs to the final. I'm a massive Nadal fan but you gotta give this to Fed . . . hardcourt plus being much fresher.

why did verdasco just fall to pieces at 6-5 in d fifth set.i mean he had been so solid on serve all game.only to start double faulting at that moment.anyways federer should beat nadal so long as he keeps playing d way he has all tournament (except those first 2 sets against berdych).nadal can take his captain caveman act (persistently clubbing back at his opponents) to d french open and win there

Another Nada Federer final.

I remain with the Federer express

My heart says Nadal . . . with this he would have won GSs on all surfaces.
But my head says Federer .
