    A Nadal-Roddick semi seems likely.

    That would be a very interesting match. Roddick's game is really suited grass and he's played well this season, but Nadal has changed his game enough to become one of the best grass courters on Tour.

    It sure would. Both players have looked good in the limited time I've seen them.

    Oh, and Sharapova was the oddsmakers' favorite in London, right?

    Although Roddick again is having trouble breaking while dominating on his serve.

    And Roddick drops the first break point of the match and eventually loses the second set. He can't afford to force himself to play perfectly on his serve to give himself a chance to win.

    Tipsarevic has a history of giving top players a hard time. If he was a little bit bigger, he might be among them.

    May have been the case, because a lot of people in England love a sucker bet.

    I picked her (see this thread's first post). I also said I hoped I was wrong :D

    Tipsarevic with a break. Roddick has yet to break him this match.

    It just baffles me that Roddick is not a more aggressive player, beyond his serve.

    And I usually enjoy watching Tipsarevic play. He's got a fun game to watch.

    I believe Sharapova is done as far as winning on the big stage is concerned. She's making too much doing commercials and mag covers. I see her retiring in a couple of years to do (bad) movies.


    She just doesn't have it anymore and I've thought that for a while now. What desire can she have to work her tail off practicing and exercising when she can do a camera commercial for much more money in half a day by just looking pretty?
