Delpo is cruising right now. He's looked really good in these last two matches. He might give Fed some trouble in the quarter

I thought it was a bitch move to not shake hands and then to claim in the interview it hit him in the face (or was trying to).

I like DelPo... Glad to see he is bouncing back from the injuries. I am 6'5" so I like to see the tall guys represent, although I am now anti Berdych with tonights shenanigans.

I Dont know, Fed is destroying right now. I think he has only been broken once this match, and then won it right back

He's hitting some very impressive winners as well.

Nadal's cruising as well. Guess his "knee injury" isn't affecting him in these matches. However, should he lose, I'm sure we'll hear acout his ailments. He's beginning to become like hte williams sisters with all of his "injuries" and "bandages."

I've never really cared for Bredych myself, but I think I would be pretty pissed as well if I got tagged with a 90 MPH + forehand like his spanish opponent did when he basically had the entire court open. That being said, Berdych is a punk and I can see why Fed has never liked the guy.

Almagro has a rep for being a bitch and going out of his way to intentionally piss his opponents off. Berdych not shaking his hand isn't a big deal IMHO.

Fed has had a lot of trouble with big hitters late in his career. I think Delpo could take him out if he can maintain the same level of play. I really wish JMDP was in Nadal's quarter though. Guy is a terrible match up for Rafa

Got a +2400 future on del Potro, will hedge from here on out... Knew he was going to have a nice run. Would love to see the big upset.

Serena dropped first set to Makarova 6-2 and has already been broken in the 2nd.

Down 2-3. She gone.

I hope it was a bad time of the month for Serena. Otherwise, that was the worst lack of effort/give up in a major ever.

Yeah that's crazy. Figured it would be close since kei beat him late last year in a close game but thought it would be 4 tight sets in favor of Tsonga.

Tsonga short on court savvy. Nichikori is out on his feet and Jo Willie is going for the big shot to end the points. ???
