I agree, Del Potro was my dark horse if he can still be that. I am sticking with Murray for the win though. Roddick needs to jump Cilic early and hit it to his wild forehard at times.Laley23 wrote: Cilic is playing well and is a very solid player, but Roddick should be able to advance.
Del Potro I think wouldve caused a few more problems for Andy, although he doesnt have a great overall game and I think andy wouldve won either way.

Murray Nadal could be an epic 5 setter. Im really looking forward to that match.
Roddick should be able to get by Cilic in 4, imo, without much problem on his serve.

4-3 Zheng in the second
Kirilenko needs a break to stay alive
she's made way too many errors

Zheng destroyed Kirilenko in a hurry. Be an interesting match between her and Henin.
Roddick and Cilic underway. Do you think we can get a shot of Brooklyn Decker soon?

Zheng and Henin are similar but Henin with all the big match experience and a stronger serve.
I think she'll win unless she has a real off day.

Kirilenko is a 4th round/quarterfinals player at best I'd say.
She had a good tournament but doesn't have the game to go much further in grand slams.

This remaining men's field is impressive with Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Roddick, Murray and here Cilic who is just now coming on.

Just a heads-up on Murray-Nadal. The last three times they've met on hard court, Murray has won twice. He won at the 2008 U.S. Open and at the 2009 Rotterdam tournament. Nadal has won the last two meetings though, on hard court at 2009 Indian Wells and on clay at 2009 Monte Carlo. Nadal leads the overall series, 7-2.

Roddick is playing through a lot of pain right now. If these new racquets bring him some more power he might be able to fight through, otherwise he will be going home in 3 or retire before then.

He might retire in this one.
Shoulder is clearly injured and facing an uphill battle probably down two sets.

Roddick kind of gave away the second set with the injury, wasn't really in it from the start.
first set was razor thin
Cilic should bounce back here and probably make it another 5-5, 6-6 type set

Cilic has been composed and unflappable but you wonder if that's a problem.
Might be the time to dig in and try to finish this match.
