"Marat Safin - Simply the best-looking male player on the planet, possibly the best-looking male as well. A true gladiator, a perfectly proportioned being and a tennis equivalent to Leo Tolstoy if only he could get that temper under control."

Hope Nole can handle to win it all ;D Wawrinka is in a fantastic form... I don't like him.

Well done to Dinara - she's on a roll. Keep it up!

And well done to Stan the Man. He's keeping the momentum going - excellent play from him. I hope he goes all the way to be honest. He's dug his wee heels in - and, ironically the one match where I thought he would lose was versus the Big Yin. And I think he thought that too. Every other match, he looked in total control and the self-belief showed on his face in the latter stages of the matches.

Bear that in mind Big Yin. 90% is self belief. Talent only gets you so far - and that's true of any walk of life.

Semifinals:
Not Before 2pm: Roddick v Wawrinka
Stepanek v Djokovic

Who would have thought ?? ;D
(sure figured if Rafa wasn't gonna win it that Fed would)
Crazy ... and shame after the first three QFs that Nole-Almagro was a blink-and-miss-it

and Doubles Semifinals:
Bryan-Bryan v Bjorkman-Ullyett
Gasquet-Santoro v Nestor Zimonjic
