[Dyslexic Untied]

Looks like Murray has pulled a muscle in his stomach or something.

Has been holding his side for the last three or four games.

 

[VP]

Murray's collapsed.

 

[Sean_RedDevil]

Murray is back, 3-3 in the third.

 

[Marching]

[Dyslexic Untied]

[green demon]

I'm English. Well done Nadal - now win the last set 6-0.

 

[Rona1do]

I have a long standing dispute with all British people, although I cannot remember the exact details.

But I put money on Murray, so I hope he wins.

 

[Rona1do]

Oh, Murray in trouble.

 

[green demon]

Come on Spain.

if he'd only challenged on that line call in the fourth set, the match would have been in the bag.

[amolbhatia50k]

Sharapova

Clijsters

Williams

Vaidisova

Is Clijsters fully fit?

 

[mehro]

dunno.

 

[Giggsy PO]

So everybody of us wants to see Sharapova and Vaidisova in the next round... I wonder why...

 

[mehro]

Sean's picked Robredo over Federer. wonder if he knows something we don't.

 

[CheadleBeagle]

Perhaps Fed has pneumonia, flu, hang-nail? Can't see him losing unless he is ill. I hope Fish beats Roddick even though I don't think he can but one can hope. I also have picked Williams but hope she doesn't win either.

 

[VP]

Federer
Roddick
Davydenko
Gonzalez
Sharapova
Clijsters
Williams
Vaidisova

 

[CheadleBeagle]

Federer will win, why is it even a question.....

I hope so I really do. He could do all 4 this year. I'm a little worried about Roddick/Connors combination though. Could give Fed problems if he is not 100% on his game.

 

[Sean_RedDevil]

Sean's picked Robredo over Federer. wonder if he knows something we don't.

Great match between Nadal and Murray. Definitely one of the best match I watch so far. Too bad Murray collapsed in the last set.
I thought Murray's going to ace Nadal in the fourth set, but credit to Nadal, he stuck to it and won the points.
Murray wasted too many break points in the end, there's too many times where he already lead 40-15 on Nadal's serve but lost it in the end.

 

[Giggsy PO]

pity for Peer

 

[Dyslexic Untied]

Mehro: here is my update, sorry it`s late, I`ve been busy.


Davydenko
Gonzalez
Sharapova

 

[amolbhatia50k]

I saw the first two sets of the Federer game and he looked really poor. No intensity in his game, needs to lift himself for the game against Roddick.

 

[Sean_RedDevil]

Come on Maria, 2-2 in the first set vs Anna Chakvetadze!!

 

[CheadleBeagle]

I saw the first two sets of the Federer game and he looked really poor. No intensity in his game, needs to lift himself for the game against Roddick.

The commentators seemed to think he was trying different things. I don't think he needed to play any better. I'm sure it will be different against Roddick

 

[Justin]

Maria's through to the semis
