I was afraid that Spartan Stan was going to develop cramps. he kept on stretching out there in the latter stages of the match.
well he finally took that next step that we were talking about general masterclass.
this has to be one of his biggest wins ever if not the biggest win. we knew had enormous talent and amazing power off the ground.
he still missed a lot of backhands but some of that had to do with nole's unbelievable court coverage.
nole engulfs the whole court in a mere second with his movement.
stan had to go for more because of that.
now the big question is this: can he make his first slam final?
I don't know if he'll be able to recover from that match mentally or physically but personally I wouldn't want him to make the final anyway. It will be his first final and he's already a pet to both Nadal and Federer and there will be some massive choking; in short, it will be a very ugly final.
Berdych has experience playing in Slam finals and he's deadly to Federer, that is, if Fed makes it and against Murray, he's got results as well, so it's a better scenario for fans. His experience might come handy should he meet Nadal. I hope he keeps things very short against Stan if he were to win.
