I mean...I know its not fair to the players who are still in the tournie to say that the interest is less than zero bc the so called big names have more or less gone missing...the only problem is we're fairly sure that none of the players left have what it takes to beat fed..esp the way fed was playing earlier. i mean if it was like bercy last year where fed and rafa were not there then the field is wide open. I don't think that is the case here. Berdych or Gasquet could maybe push him..but again the way Fed was playing earlier...i would not bet against him..and you have no idea how much it pains me to say that  |

I'm quite sure that Federer will win. We'll probably see some good matches until this is over, but he will win at the end. I have nothing against the guy, I respect him very much, but I'm not really his fan and anyway I don't like watching something when I know the end.  I hope these guys push him good so we can at least enjoy some great tennis.  |

Gasquet vs. Berdych was a disappointment, Tomas lost without much struggle.  Maybe he was worn out after beating Nadal? Richard was brilliant, though. I hope he can stay on that level. And Andy Murray is about to "pull a Marat": After clearly dominating the game, serving for the match at 6:4 5:3, he's completely falling apart right now. He just lost the second set tie break 7:0! Nieminen has obvious health problems, though. A lot of drama going on. |

I don't like watching something when I know the end. Yea, that doesn't happen neither with Safin nor Nadal. |

Federer is winning 5-2 3rd set like always... but Malisse could have gave us the surprise in the first set!  |

The first semi final is over. In a one-sided match, Richard Gasquet beat Andy Murray 6:2 7:5 and will be up against..... well, I suppose it'll be Roger Still, if Gasquet can keep up his game, Roger will have more than just a hard time. Bonne chance, Richard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D   |
