Fed is playing better and his game is more suited for this surface, but Nadal is going to beat him. Book. It.

I sure wish Federer would get meaner or at least gamier late in his career. I'd love to see him moon ball, or hack or something other than trying to roll that backhand right into Nadal's sweet spot.

It's like Federer likes to play tennis too much. Don't just hit with the guy, do whatever it takes to win. I've still never seen him match the fight verses Nadal, which is funny since he loves to mix it up verses Djoker.

He may need to let Murray pass him in the rankings so he doesn't get such a fresh Nadal in these majors.

Almost Maria time!

Kvitova up a set and on serve in the second.

Maria looking sharp early. Up a break 3-1 in the first set.

Maria was completely fricking out of control ratcheting up the screaming on big points.

That was a HECK of rally. Longest I've seen thus far.

Andy is out to an early lead.

Well, according to hypochondriac Nadal, Federer is the favorite, despite the fact that Nadal has owned Federer in almost every major match they have played of late. However, just in case Nadal manages to lose, he notes that he is still the winner...I mean, who else could make such an easy run to the semis of a major with one functioning shoulder and knee:

Even if I lose, I come back home with very positive feeling about how I played, and for sure the result is good. For me, semifinals after two years with troubles, injuries, I must be happy for that."

Andrew might be about ready to run away with this one.
