First topic message reminder :

Thought I'd take my turn.

Djokovic v Tsonga.

Could stretch Noles nerves, as he'll have the crowd very much against him, which he's been known to be a bit funny about. Djokovic in 4.

Federer v Del Potro.

Fed may approach this with more confidence than he would have Berdych, as he seems to have been owning JMDP this year. Then again, he did him up like a kipper at AO 2009 and was lucky to get past him at the French. The cold damp conditions may help Del Boy too. However I think Federer will move the big man around more than he likes. Fed in 4, maybe 5 though I think it may be one of those annoying matches where he looks weak.


Do I have to do the Womens? No, I should;

Cibulkova v Stosaur

Stosaur. In 3 interminable sets.

Errani v Kerber

I have no idea who these people are.

Two awesome quarters, would the other half generate atleast half the entertainment like these quarters?

If Fed can get this into a 4th set quickly, I fancy his chances of taking this match however the longer it goes on, the less I believe Fed can win it.

Credit to Tsonga, some mighty hitting. His net play is driving me crackers though, his volleys are a liability!

Big hold that from Fed, nice to see him bringing out the slice and drop shot, it clearly causes DP problems. You can't rally with DP, its like it with Nadal it can't be done.

I would rather Federer got a 2nd break at 5-2 so he will serve first in the 4th rather than at 4-1 but beggars can't be choosers! And Del Potro coming back is not out of the question whatsoever

You mean 3rd Martyr? Let's not get ahead of ourselves! I'm hoping Fed can take this to a 5th set, will really set the tournament on fire, especially of Tsonga wins today too! Seems like the crowd is irritating Djokovic!

Nadal would certainly wish a Roger win, this DP would be too hot to handle even for this vintage Rafa on clay.

What a backhand winner by Tsonga to take the third! Roger is hanging in there gamely.

Both men are going to have to win this in five to advance. This long match would hurt Roger more than Djokovic should they survive.

I am wondering, it would be quite a shock if we ended up with a Tsonga Vs Delpo semis, although I do think @ one of the big 2 will make the semis, even though it looks unlikely!

I don't wish to jinx Djokovic, but there is no way, absolutely no way Djokovic is losing this match. It is just a question whether the next set will be a bagel or a breadstick.

I'm not so sure, obviously Nadal would prefer Fed but let's not forget he too is in superb form and it's easier for him to retrieve Del potro's heavy groundstrokes on clay plus he has the ability to send Delpo scrambling from side to side, something I'm not sure Delpo can withstand with his knee niggles

These quarters are both finely poised for the 'underdog' seeds. I love tennis!

when Fed slices it, DP has no answers, his movement is all over the place, why has it taken till the 4th set to realise this. Fed has broke, nice easy hold will be welcome.
