They are doing their best to turn this into a men's version of the Kuznetsova - Schiavone encounter yesterday.
Oh my goodness. Simon fails to consolidate a break for the second time this set...
I have a feeling he's going to beat Federer as well should they meet. Huge surface advantage for Wawrinka here.
I've only caught about 2 sets of his matches, but he's hitting the ball just fine so far. And then some.Yeah, he would probably give us the most entertaining final (if he's in the zone at least).
Simon breaks. Looks like another 5 setter. Will this go close to or over 5 hours?
I hope not. I want to go to bed.
I don't think Federer would be overly concerned about having to play Wawrinka (should he make it that far).
Both of Wawrinka's wins over Federer have come on clay though. I think when Stan is playing well, he can overpower Federer on this surface because he can penetrate the court more easily with his greater power. I think if Wawrinka maintains his current form it could be a great match.
Love seeing Mahut play well on clay. When was the last time a serve and volleyer made it this far? Henman in the semi's in 04?
Paire v Berdych. Another interesting match up. Anyone believe Paire may cause an upset?
Nah, Berdych in straights.
Llodra has made the 4th round before....

I give him somewhat of a chance yeah, certainly more than the odds-makers (1.07 Berdych, 8,5 Paire). I think he takes at least a set and could be more.Paire v Berdych. Another interesting match up. Anyone believe Paire may cause an upset?
I think that was the match, Mahut hasn't looked strong for a while nowSimon has the break! 3-1.....

Hmm - Berdych storming out ahead. I could be very wrong on the above - he's already returning 20 times your money back ;-).I give him somewhat of a chance yeah, certainly more than the odds-makers (1.07 Berdych, 8,5 Paire). I think he takes at least a set and could be more.
Up 4-1. Simon playing well this final set too. Hopefully that's all she wrote...
4-0 to Birdman. I forgot how good he is against none top-10'ers....Hmm - Berdych storming out ahead. I could be very wrong on the above - he's already returning 20 times your money back ;-).
