    That was a heck of a game! In the 3rd set, I had a feeling that Querrey would pull the upset but Nadal went into beast mode and just took over from there. I'm still rooting for Djokovic to take it all! GO NOLE!

    That's great man.

    He was actually there about 3 months ago visiting Mitrovica. Very good kid and down to earth.

    I didn't know he visited recently, but I did know he's down to Earth. A lot of people have gained a poor impression of him because of his strong charismatic personality. But he really just enjoys making people laugh.

    Wow, Djokovic was pissed after his Andy Roddick match. He turned the crowd against him in the late game interview.

    He thought Roddick was accusing him of faking injuries, so he let loose a bit and I was totally surprised. I don't think he needed to be that pissed.

    The Semifinals are Nadal vs Murray, and Djokovic vs Federer.

    Roddick is a sore loser making statements like, just like Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was about Nole's serve preparation. I don't blame him for being pissed, but I'm honestly not sure how bad it was as I didn't get to see that part because I had to go back to work.

    Yeah I'm not offended or anything, I just thought Roddick was joking. I'm not sure though.

    Massive tassk for Andy Murray today, unless Nadal gets injured I can't see Murray winning. He does seem to thrive on drama though; at Wimbledon he came from 2 sets and a break down against a French dude and beat him, and he beat some guy from two sets down at the US Open. I, for one, hope Murray goes 2 sets down. OR NOT.

    I hope Djokovic wins, I really don't want to see another Nadal vs. Federer match!

    I wouldn't be all too surprised if Murray pulls off the upset. He's been really turning it on over the past few months and even though it will take a hell of a game to defeat Nadal I think he has a chance.

    Right now, my safe choice is Nadal v Nole in the final.

    Federer won, but it is looking horrific for Nadal right now. He just lost a tie-breaker set to Murray and is down 2 sets.

    He's going to need close to a miracle to get out of this one...

    I'd like to see Murray win it all. Will be a nice close to this season's Grand Slams.
