Wimbeldon Quarterfinals Discussion thread
Mens:
No. 1 Roger Federer vs. No. 20 Lleyton Hewitt
No. 2 Rafael Nadal vs. No. 17 Mikhail Youzhny
No. 8 Richard Gasquet vs. No. 12 Andy Murray
No. 13 Stanislas Wawrinka vs. Marat Safin
No. 10 Marcos Baghdatis vs. No. 31 Feliciano Lopez
No. 22 Fernando Verdasco vs. Mario Ancic
Janko Tipsarevic vs. Rainer Schuettler
Arnaud Clement vs. Marin Cilic
Womens:
No. 6 Serena Williams vs. Bethanie Mattek
No. 4 Svetlana Kuznetsova vs. Agnieszka Radwanska
No. 7 Venus Williams vs. Alisa Kleybanova
No. 2 Jelena Jankovic vs. Tamarine Tanasugarn
No. 8 Anna Chakvetadze vs. No. 18 Nicole Vaidisova
No. 21 Nadia Petrova vs. Alla Kudryavtseva
No. 5 Elena Dementieva vs. No. 24 Shahar Peer
No. 15 Agnes Szavay vs. Zheng Jie
All 16 games to be aplyed tomorrow, so its going to be a busy day for everyone.
My pick of the games would be Federer vs Hewitt. Hewitt a former winner and extremely consistent with his game, while Federer has been the undisputed king of grass so far. Should be interesting as to see what Hewitt makes out of it.
ALso interesting to watch should be Marat Safin's game. Will he go on to challenge big 2 in the semis and will his patience and attitude last that long? Interesting. Hope he becomes the next Goran Ivanisevic in terms of entertainment value.

Another convincing win fir Fedex, well Hewitt has to accept now that he's not the elite anymore.

Re: Wimbeldon Quarterfinals Discussion thread
Nadal and Federer cruise in straight sets. No surprise there.
Andy Murray just pulled off a great comeback down two sets. Almost lost it there in the third set, won that tiebreak and it was over for Gasquet.
Murray and Nadal is gonna be great. Both crowd favorites, and both been playing exceptional. I think Nadal is going to win though, but not in a dominating fashion.

Go Dementieva.
Vaidisova is back.
Jie Zheng is streaking.
No to an all Williams final. Ugh.

But that's what will happen, because who else can beat them?
Also, loved the Murray comeback. Great match, but much like Turkey in EuroCup, his run to the finals is done against Nadal.

Re: Wimbeldon Quarterfinals Discussion thread
I like Safin's game right now. If there's anyone in that draw that can stop Federer, its him.
Andy Murray was amazing today. Great grit and determination to make that comeback.
Huge props to Feliciano Lopez too. He came through when it mattered and Mario Ancic is another player to look out for.

Re: Wimbeldon Quarterfinals Discussion thread
more surprises, kuznetsova and jankovic out!!! what's with the women in this tournament?
i think dementieva or one of the williams will win.
and for the men i think it's clear that it will be, once again, a federer-nadal final. it won't be easy for them to reach the final, but they will reach it.

I hope Andy can take out Rafa, not because I hate Rafa or anything, I just want to see the entire nation of England lose it for someone/thing other than a soccer game.

Andy has a good chance against Nadal and Safin can be the dark horse too. I'd love to see either of those guys make the finals to make it all the more entertaining.

Care to change that statement? I picked Nadal to win like most people, but I figured Andy might put up a decent fight at least. But maybe his last match took too much out of him or something. Whatever the case, he got destroyed, just like Roger did to Ancic.
In the semis' Nadal has the guaranteed pass to the finals, and Roger is going to have a tough fight with Safin. Hopefully Feds can make it to the finals again. Here's to Federer/Nadal III.

Nadal was outstanding vs Murray. I thought Andy would have put up slightly more of a fight, but clearly Nadal was always going to come away with the win.
