    Shout out to Mardy Fish for being our only representative left. Damn we are ? once the William Sisters stop playing. No bright stars in the horizon for both Males and Females.

    Damn my upset pick held. Tomic took care of the vet Malisse in straights damn.

    Yeah, American tennis is going to plummet when Williams sisters/Roddick retire smh

    ...............
    Tomic is equally warm about Djokovic. "He's a cool guy - one of the nicest on the Tour. I think he has a respect for me, but I've got a much bigger respect for him obviously. I've hit with him at least a dozen times. I think he likes having me around. We played a set before the tournament. He destroyed me! Hopefully that was then and not in the quarter-final.

    "Even when I practise against him I can't execute my shots because he's got one of the best returns in the world. He has an unbelievable backhand. But if I can execute my shots, and he doesn't return as good - which could be impossible, because his return is unbelievable - then maybe I'll have a chance."

    Tsonga beat Nadal at Queens and now Federer at Wimbledon (which I didn't expect)... damn. I dunno if he'll beat Djokovic but I want him too.

    Murray has a chance against Nadal... but the latter hasn't lost since the 08 final I think it was. I hope he can do it though

    Can't get em all right. I watched that Nadal fish match... Fish's backhand made me cringe. His serve was on point, should've kept going to that power slice serve on the deuce side and a straight flat on the ad to make nadal hit backhands... he took a set off him at least. Roddick, Fish, Querrey, and Isner need to do something at the Open

    Azarenka lets me down again. This was her best chance too. Oh Well, looks like the Final is Sharapova's to lose.
