Hell no. Cilic would have beaten anyone in the draw other than Federer the way he played IMO.

No, he wouldn't have beaten Delpo. Cilic won b/c Murray couldn't consistently make good 2nd serve returns, which set up Cilic to consistently hit winners off of short balls. He won't have that luxury against Delpo.

Djokovic can. I remember when he dismantled Federer at AO 08 where he won the tournament only dropping a set. He has to be on that level, because if a match goes 4 or 5 sets, he's done for.

I saw Del Porto right up in person today. The guy is a monster - if he is going right I don't think the semi gimpy Nadal can stop him.. Actually the way Gonzalez is playing now I think Nadal will get knocked out.

I am a big Nadal fan but honestly a 100 mph serve on the men's side just isn't going to get it done.. I think that the hardcourt hurts Nadals defensive style too. This big hitters get nice even bounces on the hard court and just unload monster shots.

Porto is nailing 135 mph serve with good placement and angles - and his forehand is HUGE. You get caught in a rally with him and sooner or later he uncorks this monster shot..

It is really looking like a virtually certain Federer-Murray final. I dont see anyone in good enough form or good enough right now to stop it. Who do you think has the best shot to stop a final between two players I am at best lukewarm towards (and that is being kind).

Cilic
*smirk*

Gonzo or Polito could still stop Rafa though. :neutral:

Tbh, in the 4th round upset threads, I had this one as the least probable upset. i really thought Murray would totally have his number.
