Ugh. He was playing well this tournament up until today too. I'm not sure how much he wants to keep going without seeing results.

Dude needs to retire, for real. If he can't win a game like that, he's done.

Wow shocking defeat. Fed was actually playing well until today.

To me he is the third best player in the NBA - Luka and Embiid are comfortably ahead of him.

Rafa looking great, the mobility is almost close to his best levels.

Me: Ivanovic lost! Nooooo! What, I still love her.
Random RealGM Poster: You know you have virtually no shot with her, right?
Me: Do you wanna die?
Random RealGM Poster: She's not even that good.

Roger is definitely in the late Pete Sampras stage of his career.

This Istomin guy with a bit of composure and some upper body strength could be a decent mid tier player.

Murray's girlfriend though is absolutely lovely! :D

Nadal vs Robredo was a snorefest. Geez Robredo was pathetic.

Murray hasn't been playing his best tennis as of late, so I'm really looking forward to the Wawrinka matchup later today. At least the semi-final on that side should be interesting, though given Murray's form as of late, I don't see him making it to the final.

Surprising, but not THAT surprising. Paes and Stepanek are really good.

True...I was just surprised because I caught the first set and the Bryans looked pretty damn comfortable out there. Unfortunate that they won't get the calendar year GS.

Barring something crazy, Murray going down in pretty routine fashion. Impressive stuff from Stan.

Djokovic is in a zone right now. I mean like supreme confidence moving no more than two feet either side and smashing stand still winners on the 1st shot of a rally kind of zone.

Serena is putting together the most dominant single tournament in sports history right now.

Actually I feel like he is playing very average right now.

She is dominant no doubt but right now her competition is weaker than ever....


Djokovic is self-destructing like Murray against Wawrinka. Sad to say but Wawrinka would play better against Nadal right now. Nadal would destroy current Djokovic.

Oh sure Serena is in a weaker competition but still I haven't seen her bring this kind of intensity for the duration of an entire tournament and li na is no bum either but she was helpless yesterday
