Donald Young vs. Hewitt, some good stuff right here. Donald Young was hyped big time a few years ago as the next great BLACK male tennis player. He was winning Junior tournaments and the sky was the limit, all of a sudden, his play regressed. He has been playing better as of late and is still only 20 years old. There might still be something there.

Tsonga. I had him as a sleeper coming into this event, and he's proving me right. He played a fantastic fourth set after almost not winning a single point in the third. Djokovic started dry heaving on the sidelines, I'm not sure what was his deal, but I'm happy Tsonga advanced to the semis; arguably the best forehand on the mans side. Davydenko all but had Federer beat until he bagged it in early. 5-18 on break chances? SMH @ that. I turned from the Serena Will match only to find out that she came back. Azarenka is always a time bomb ready to implode and self destruct, so in a sense, it's no surprise the comeback came at her expense.
There's been some quality tennis played, as is always the case for majors in tennis. It's almost like March Madness the quality of the matches will always be there regardless. I'm rooting for Tsonga over Federer as well as Cilic over Murray. I'm may bet money on the Tsonga vs Federer match because of Federer is the obvious favorite to take the match, but I know Tsonga can win this one. Cilic? Not so sure about. I haven't seen him play enough, and against Roddick, his first serve % was terrible. Not betting on that one.

Well said Piff.
Cilic's game is accuracy. He can put that ball at exact spots on the court. He is also among the new breed of Big men who move very very well.
Azarenka did not implode, Serena turned it up to 11. She was freaking awesome in the final 1 and half sets.

Wow, Azarenka didn't start crying and throwing her racket when she saw Serena make a late surge? I'm seriously shocked. I'm not saying you're lying or anything because again, I didn't watch the match in its entirety. About Cilic, he does play defense extremely well. In fact, after the match Roddick talked about how regardless of who Cilic ends up playing, he's going to be a tough out because of the way he stays behind the baseline, and make great shots, and forces the opponent into bad shots. I just don't think he has enough firepower to combat Murray right now, and if he serves under 50 % on his first serve as he did with Roddick a good portion of the match, he'll be lucky to even win a set. With all that said, I am pulling for him

Just did some reading, looks like Federer is not the biggest Murray fan. From the articles i could find, he has been taking shots at Muarry since the bookmakers made Muarry the fav to win last year's Assuie open. He laughed off the fact Murray was favored and said Murray has never won a Major yet.
And it does not help that Murray has a winning record over Federer and unlike Nadal, Murray does not go out of his way to praise Federer. He has also critized Murray's defensive style of playing.
And even in his post match interview after beating Tsonga today, the dude still had subtle shots at Murray. Should be a fun Match-up. Federer in Four is my prediction.

As much as I like Murray he hasn't got a chance in hell of winning the French Open, especially with his knee the way it is
Nadal to walk it (probably). See you all at Wimbledon

Fun 1st round of Wimbledon already with Federer and Davydenko nearly getting bounced. Both had to go to the 5th sets. Federer is at one point down 3-5 in the 4th set. Falla had him at the ropes, and then proceeded to choke big time.
If this are signs of things to come, we are in for a great tournament.
For u guys who like your female tennis players loud, tomorrow Serena(who is loud) faces Larcher Brito. Larcher de Brito puts Shrapova to shame when it comes to grunting. But careful guys with your thoughts, she is only 17, not legal yet.
