Yed Fed looked great last night. No one in here was knocking him, he's not as dominant these days as he once was, that's a fact. He is going to have to beat Murray, Nadal and Djokovic to win the Open, can't see it.

I agree one of them will take him down. Who depends on how well Fed holds his form from last night.

The Joker gone, opens it up for the other side of the draw now. You would think whoever wins the semi of Nadal v Fed/Murray will go on to win the title.

Will be hard to stop Azarenka in the women's with Sharapova and Williams gone. I'd like to see Li Na win from here.

I,m cheering on A. Radwanska she is 1 set up.

Seems as though Rafa is having real issues with blisters on his hand, can't hold his racquet properly. Fed at $2.40 might be a good bet against him tomorrow night.

Hopefully Fed can win it, I hate Rafa for some reason.

Really? I love Rafa. Raging bull on court but one of the most humble and down to earth people off it. I like Fed too so I don't mind who wins, will just be a great game to watch.

I don't know why I've got no reason for it just don't like him for some reason. Like watching him play though the bloke can play.

All 4 top mens players just seem to be very humble after matches, when Djoko lost he seemed to be one of the most humble sports people ever, Rafa has always been fairly humble aswell. They put some of the top women to shame I must say, when my favourite Radwanska beat Azarenka yesterday she didn't seem very happy about it at all!!

If you saw Djokos press conference after he lost to Wawrinka I was so impressed by him, saying Warwinka deserved to win & saying everyone has to lose at some point. Womens I am so glad all screachers are out now, no more screachers to worry about!

Not looking good for her in the semi.

Same with Wawrinka when he beat Djoko, he was over the moon but still humble, he mentioned he plated at his best & when Djoko plays he's best he would have beaten him, nice respect shown in general by all the top guys.

I'm with you Fed, Rafa & Djoko all seem good guys to me & are ornaments to the game, me personally I'm not fussed on Murray or our own Aussie Hewitt.
