Oh, it's going to be an exciting match between Federer and Djokovic! But I will definately support Nole! Strange what's going on with Federer! I've heard he suffered from infectious mononucleosis and that would be the reason why he's not in a perfect form right now... Have you heard anything similar?
Besides it's going to be a tough day for Rafa, first his match against Nikolai and then with Tommy against Björkmann/Ulyett. I hope he can handle it.
Let's wait and see what will happen ;D

re: Novak " ... Djokovic called for a trainer at the end of the first set and then shook hands with the top-ranked Swiss player after losing his serve in the fifth game of the second. "From the start I didn't feel so great," Djokovic said, complaining of dizziness and a sore throat. "I just couldn't get enough energy back after each point," he said. "I feel dizziness a little bit in the last three days. I don't know. Doctor in the tournament couldn't give me the right diagnosis. I'll check as soon as possible." Djokovic had a similar illness in February against Russia in the Davis Cup, retiring against Davydenko when leading in the reverse singles, and afterward complaining about dizziness and low energy. After saving three break points in the fifth game of the first set, Federer took control. He broke the Serb in the eighth game and served out the set -- with an impressive 94 percent of points won on first serve. The Australian Open champion, broken twice more by Federer in the second set, felt it was too risky to continue. "It's not worth it," Djokovic said. "I'm just 20 years old. Still a lot of time, a lot of tournaments to come." " sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/tennis/04/26/bc.ten.monte.carlo.ap/index.html |
