Usually Im upset when Sharapova goes down. But personally, I think this Maria is hotter. I give you:
Maria Kirilenko

Nice pics.
I was glad when the rain delayed Roddick's match last night.
Maria & Maria were playing much more competitive match and they kept leaving it which was annoying.

Roddick looked pretty good last night, Lopez was a tough out.
Isner is going to be a force if he keeps improving the way he is. To oust Gael Monfils with such ease is a very impressive mark. Monfils has some major game.

Big matches today:
1. Lleyton Hewitt vs. Marcos Baghdatis at 3 AM on ESPN2; their meeting a few years ago went past 4 AM due to backed-up action earlier in the day; Hewitt in a four-set, action-packed matchup.
2. Serena Williams vs. Carla Suarez Navarro; Navarro knocked out Venus last year in this same round; Serena should win comfortably though.
3. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga vs. Tommy Haas; Haas can still bang with the best at age 32 but Tsonga is looking to return to the Finals; Tsonga in three close ones.

The bottom half of the draw looks like this:
(7) Andy Roddick vs. (10) Fernando Gonzalez
(4) Juan Martin del Potro vs. (14) Marin Cilic
(5) Andy Murray vs. (33) John Isner
(2) Rafael Nadal vs. Ivo Karlovic
I could see any one of them in the finals. There are so many interesting quarterfinal and semifinal probabilities. Isner vs. Karlovic (6'10'' vs. 6'11'') or Murray vs. Nadal? Roddick vs. del Potro?

Great win for Andy.
At 6-5 in the fourth he was down 40-0 then won five straight points to take control of a very tough match.
He is now 12-14 when going the distance.

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.
