Gasquet wins, Raonic may never amount to anything.

If not for his no-show at the Aussie (literally) and Wimbledon (figuratively), Nadal could have matched Djokovic's 2011 season. 57-3 so far and undefeated on HC.
Really hope Murray doesn't spoil what should be an epic Nadal-Djokovic final.

No way. I see Rafa taking his second US Open here.

Rafa has LOTS of trouble with the Djoker. And both guys are playing well. Should make for a great final if it happens.

Analysis of the remaining draw:

DJokovic/Granollers plays Youzhny/Hewitt: does it really matter who wins the Youzhny Hewitt match? Djokovic will roll Granollers in straight sets, and then have little difficulty with his next opponent, whoever it may be.

Murray/Istomin plays Stan the Man/Berdych: I don't give Istomin any chance of beating Murray. Stan The man and Berdych should be a good match, I give the nod to Berdych, though that certainly isn't a sure thing. And either guy can give Murray problems, though Berdych can give him more problems than Stan. I lean towards Murray v. Berdych, with Murray taking it in four sets

Murray v. Djoker should be excellent if that is how it plays out. Djoker has trouble with Murray, but will Murray be playing with the same fire he had at Wimbledon?

Gasquet/Ferrer plays Nadal/Robredo: barring freak injury, just put Rafa in the finals

Good article from Stephen Tignor of tennis.com

But that’s the thing that Rafa can do that Roger can’t, or at least that Roger can’t do at this stage: If Nadal is not playing his best, he can grind more, hit with more depth or topspin, wear the other guy down with the heaviness and accuracy of his shots, as well as his relentless mindset. Especially his relentless mindset. Maybe it was the night session, maybe it was knowing that his draw is wide-open to the final, but Nadal was keyed up for this one and wasn't going to let it go, no matter how well his opponent played.

Sadly. I am a Ferrer fan and keep waiting for him to step up and beat one of the big 4, but he never does. ever :(

Ferrer is great to gamble on. He loses to the top four and usually beats everybody else (and almost always beats everybody else outside the top 8).
