berdych gets it done in 4 sets.
ferru is removed from the facilities.
The dumb TV went out again.
You have to be a subscriber for that link, so of course, I couldn't do that.
I went on livescorehunter.com and caught several games of the last few sets.
So happy for Berdy. 1st win on Laver!
Underdog for both Stan and Nole, but this is a new day. You never know what will happen.
Spartan Stan has taken the 2nd set.
he is standing his ground after losing the first set.
3rd set goes to Stan. he takes it 6-2.
i need to grab some sleep. the match is keeping me up.
I called this one sports fans.
Spartan Stan removes nole from the facilities.

congrats to Stan and his fans at Camelot. I stayed up all night to watch this match.
now I better grab a little bit of sleep.
Howdy Camelot.
I'll pass on the cheap beer... Needs to be a quality European lager.
Federer/Murray is the tie of the round. I fancied Murray before the tournament to prevail should they meet, but having watched them both, got to favour Federer at this point.
Why did you fancy Murray before the tournament? What was the basis of that? As I see it, Murray lost to Mayer in the 2nd round in AD while Federer went on to lose to Hewitt in Brisbane in the final. Judging by the two results, clearly Federer was the more in form player. So again, what was your basis before the tournament?
Oh, I'm not saying you're unreasonable and you never agree. It's like when I say I like Spanish players you tell me that I am nationalistic, or if I don't care for del Po, I'm taking it personal, that kind of stuff.
I just don't understand the need to do that. When you say Andy looks dashing. I accept that. I'm not going to give you an opinion on your opinion.
If I questioned anything you did or said, I would ask you why you thought something, but I wouldn't put a label on what you thought.
I don't like that, so I'm just giving you my perspective.
When I say Andy looks dashing that's my personal opinion of him. Many finds him ugly. So when you say Nadal is so so special I take it the same way - a personal opinion of a player at best. I only debate that I find debatable like the Del Potro stuff or the love vs politeness or the talent one etc. Anyway, I'd rather leave your posts alone so that you feel more comfortable here in giving your opinion.
Very tough loss for Nole. He was a break up in the 5th but Stan broke him right back. I didn't get to see the rest of it and that was the only part I was able to see as I was getting ready for work. Didn't like the quality of the match however. I do think Nole needs to improve his serve and perhaps Becker can help him in that department.
Didn't get to see Berdych vs Ferrer either. I actually like this match up so would have been nice to watch it but since I didn't get any sleep the other night, I decided to go to bed early last night. Will have to look for it in CETs' video section. I am very happy for Berdych. He's been playing very good in this tournament since the start and would have given Nole problems too, so while at first glace Nole's draw looked quite easy, it in fact wasn't given the later potential. I hope he makes the final and if he does than it will be his 3 final. That will be pretty awesome.
Nadal's draw has turned out to be a cakewalk regardless with Del Potro losing early and Murray being not 100%. Federer is almost never a threat to Nadal. While all the other guys are battling really experienced players in the QTR finals, he'll be facing a first timer in the QTR. So much fuss over his apparently 'tough' draw.
Would like to see Dimi tonight but the ladies are first and I have no desire to stay up since I may have to wake up for Andy's match if I can. In any case I won't be able the watch the ending of the match since I leave for work early. But of course if Andy's losing then I probably wouldn't want to watch that part anyway.

If you had called it herc, then why were you complaining about the draw all this time since you knew the outcome way before?
Oh no one mentioned - Buchard into the semi. I take it her run ends here though. I'd like to see her or Radwanska win the title but it will most probably be Azarenka.
Well, I might not be around here the next few days if Andy goes out tonight. Even though I am not expecting much but it's tough to take a loss in a Slam. If Andy loses then I'd like Berdy to advance and win the title though perhaps least likely.
Nole losing to Wawrinka?
I really didn't see this one coming.
