Oh, and let me revise my predictions, given yesterday's results.
Murray beats Roddick 3-2 Federer beats Hass 3-0
Federer beats Murray 3-0 :(

You think Murray will beat Roddick?
Oooh.
I think he will too.
I prefer that he's got Roddick. I know Roddick's serve is annoying but I don't believe Roddick has the game to beat Murray... having said that, I didn't think he had the game to beat Hewitt either.
I don't think Roddick will cope under pressure as well as Hewitt would have. Although again, he surprised me with his general wherewithal as well.
So it could be very interesting!
And why the sad face? I thought you wanted Federer to win?

I never wish Federer to win anything.
Roddick will be fresh on aces as he was with Hewitt in the final set(s), so it's mainly up to Murray to play a different game, which to leave the Yank hopeless. Nonetheless, I said 3-2 because I think this is the real test for Murray and all the pressure around him. Reaching the final is something he can't take lightly, and I anticipate it will be quite a battle.

Roddick, in the meantime, said to the press something like "I can count how many people will side with me on Friday. But whenever I'll hear "Come on, Andy", I'll consider that they meant me."

Heartbreaking to see Elena lose - but the match itself was absolutely stunning.
Compared to Dementieva, Safina has absolutely no chance. Curiously, I thought the other way around - Dementieva surpassed all my expectations.

Well that was an anti-climax. She shouldn't have won that match.

The game was decided by two passings - the one Elena missed, at match point (she should have crossed it more to the left), and the one Serena achieved, on break point (which was crossed, and slipped miraculously).
The end is bitter (at least for me), but the match was unreal.

Yep. I'm actually pissed off about her winning. Dementieva outplayed her most of the match, in my opinion.

Williams final. The second match isn't even worth watching.

I have Nemo and Wobbler high in my chart, but they're probably too conventional for ya.

That semi-final was even more of an anti-climax. Safina No. 1 in the world?
