Roddick is playing like he wants it and Cilic is like this is no big deal advancing to the semis

3-0 Roddick in the fourth

barring a disaster, there will be a fifth set

For anyone who thinks that Roddick is overrated, turn your TV on and watch what he is doing with an injured serving shoulder.

Andy showing it all in this set

forehand, backhand, big serve, some slices even

Cilic getting blown away

I do not think Cilic can recover in the fifth after getting his ass whooped in the 3rd and 4th.

Cilic does get a break and on the board in the fourth

he's never been in this position before in a grand slam

so he'll have to show a lot to recover

Cilic did lose the fourth against del Potro and came back to win the fifth

Roddick almost in a Connors-like mode

going to be tough for Cilic to stem the tide

3-1 Cilic

Andy didn't get his first serve in that game like he did in the fourth set

costly

that was big

Roddick was up 0-40 in the first game and Cilic came back to hold serve

after getting crushed in that fourth set, it was big for Cilic not to fall behind 0-1 and then 0-2

Nadal and Del Potro out = 16th slam for Federer.

Henin vs. Zheng

Na vs. Serena or Azarenka

Things setting up nicely for a Serena-Henin matchup in the finals. Chinese women may have other ideas.

I really don't know this Azarenka chick, but she reminds me of Seles a little bit.

Serena not playing well at all in the first set.

Azarenka wins the first set 6-4

Serena starting to pick it up, though

should be a good second (and maybe third) set
