they've played roughly the same number of clay events, number of matches played on it I'd say Djokovic is ahead given the fact he's going deep.

Seppi saves 2 MPs and has a game point but after a monster rally Nole finds an incredible angle to take it back to deuce

MP 3 for nole

denied again, Seppi fires down an ace
Davydenko and Kolschreiber retired injured (sorry if I mispelled Kolschreiber but it's a terribly difficult name) so Nadal and Roddick advance.
Oh sorry, I didn't see that it has already been posted, I just heard it right now on TV. This must be one of Roddick's best results on clay, quarter finals.

Do you know what injuries? I just hope Davy's isn't anything serious. And Kohly's as well.
Federer/Roddick
Murray/Del Potro
Two quarters set.
Hmm... Come on, Novak, let's convert one of these.

yeah I remember watching that, absolutely cracked it after tsonga was dominating the tiebreak.

nole comes through at the sixth time of asking, good stuff from Seppi, he really fought hard and played some good stuff but the gap in quality was too much in the end

the points dropping will be from hamburg last year (points will always last 52weeks), Murray has the least to defend out of the top 4.

I see...well world # 4 Novak Djokovic just doesn't sound right to me..i hhaven't heard it since 2007
Don't know about Kohl's injury, but the commentators said that Davydenko tore a muscle, they didn't say which one though. This makes me depressed.

Novak went out in the R16 in Madrid, but he's not defending Madrid points this week. He's defending Hamburg points where he reached the semis.
Novak can regain number three if Murray loses tomorrow and he makes the final or if he Novak wins the tournament (won't matter even if Murray's the finalist).
Simon/Ljubicic will play at 6 pm. In an hour
Monaco/Verdasco at 8 pm on Manolo Santana. In 3 hours.
I heard leg injury for Kohly. Nothing specific, though. The Davy news makes me depressed as well.

I'm hoping he can get back his no.3 ranking soon. I think he would have to win this tournament in order to do or something like that. Anyways, murray has a lot of points to defend after wimbledon, so nole could get a chance there.

so we do have an OoP shuffle?
I better get cracking on some work in that case, glad Nando/Pico is on Manolo Santana now though, the atmosphere should be awesome =D
Nah mate, don't do work, it's overrated. Do it like me, sit back and relax, enjoy the time before exams

I was surprised when I saw this too. Also I am not sure what why is Djokovic playing doubles, since he is playing 3rd week in a row.

Who knows...i have no idea..probably trying to improve his net game?
But I'm still surprised..i remember how great Fish and Roddick did he usually plays with Roddick or Blake...but when i saw DP i was shocked

Hmm.. I became a Simon fan because he looks like my first boyfriend. The only player where I've let their looks dictate my fanhood. I like aspects of his game very much now, but I wouldn't have even noticed him if he hadn't taken me back to when I was 15. Simon, it seems, inspires a lot of looks like comparisons.

Yeah thats right. Whoever wins this match goes on to play Djokovic.

you have it exactly right ^^
The madrid site is a shocking bit of design imo; it's an attempt at something a bit more modern and unique (presumably to match the tournaments overall feel) but it's implemented poorly, the general audience are likely to be confused by it's non standard page layout, various links appear to be broken and so on. I think they'd be much better suited by a more standard page layout; things can still look modern (colour palette, font choice, menu's etc) whilst retaining a more recognisable order. As it is now it appears to be confusing a lot of users rather than impressing them.

Simon is really stepping it up, this is what I want to see from him!
