Just what tennis needed.

After all who really wanted another Djokovic Nadal final?.

The question is which other big name would it be good to see unceremoniously dumped out? According to Ivo if he hadn't been thwarted by some many cheating foot fault calls against him it could have been Andy.

Maybe it's Federer's turn next?

Certainly doesn't do the tournament any harm to have the odd shock like this - opens the way for Murray or Tsonga or perhaps a surprise finalist. I suppose Berdy was the last of those at Wimby, although even then not a huge shock - certainly a while since we've had someone like Baghdatis reach a slam final.

Anyway, congratulations to Rosol on a fantastic performance tonight. Let's hope it encourages the other underdogs to really push hard and play as though there is nothing to lose.

It is what's needed, the game as become tediously predictable.
