i wonder how come if djoko loses in this final he will also lose the no.3 ranking to andy murray..why is it like this? don't really understand the system.

Shouldn't he lose like 300points for failing to defend the title??o.O

quite a good win by federer over roddick today...at the end of the 2nd and start of the 3rd set..felt like momentum was with roddick. Glad federer stopped it and won 7-5 6-7 6-1

Federer vs Murray anyone?

nadal lost first set to djokovic 6-3..

second set on the way..hope they go the distance..i wanna see the King in the final

Nadal is superhuman..he can win it if he wants..

Federer meanwhile..has a great chance to win it..but will have to first overcome the psychological barrier that he has against nadal

FEDERER WINS!!!!! 6-4 6-4

Fantastic match by federer!!! he's back!!!!

but i wonder whether tis lost for nadal will be like 2007?? after the hamburg final..oh well..we'll see

Great match by federer today

Federer didn't played really well today..just did enough to scrap through..

If Acasuso was players like djokovic or murray he'd have lost pretty easily

But a win's still a win..great match!

and hewitt got crushed by the king..poor guy:(

Federer got through to the 2nd week in 4sets again..wonder whether these long matches would help his back..

OH MY GOOOOODDDD!!!!! BOTH DEFENDING CHAMPS LOST..

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

this lost opens up the tournament for everyone..

Guess nadal's feeling like how federer felt after losing wimby last year?

Nadal's a graceful champion and a champion in defeat..Hats off to him..

Hope Fed can capitalise..this is the only chance he'll ever get

Don't forget if federer goes through today..he probably has to face one frenchman in the quarters and one in the semis..

Then it'll be federer against the entire field

I thought the turning point of the match had to be in the 3rd set where he hit the forehand passing shot to save break point and the crowd was getting behind him as well..

Hope he goes all the way..It doesn't matter who he faces in the next round

If he really wants to win this tourney..He has to beat whoever that comes by to prove he's worth

i think today Safina's goin bulldose her way into the semis..

Such a scary(Great) world no.1

one of the main reasons i seldom watch girl's tennis..especially when serena williams plays..ARGH!!

Soderling looks like he's cruising

haha..Bepeon's magic curse..

Anyway, lets hope there won't be any major upsets today..I'm looking forward to all the matches..

Juan Martin del Potro vs Tommy Robredo..Interesting match-up

serena williams too cocky..but it was a close match..

Can't say federer played his best today..it was just enough to get to the semis..Has to really pick up his groundstrokes!!

Nadal has been working hard to change his game to suit the hard courts and the grass courts...Look at his records since then..Wimbledon and Australian Open in his hands...So i think he'll be able to do so but its gonna take awhile i think

But changing his game to suit other courts has made him a worst clay court player than he has in the past..signs of this were shown in monte carlo final in the second set, Madrid and French open

but he'll still be able to dominate these courts..Mentally this guy is unbelievable

any ideas what time will the live telecast starts?

Federer has to be very wary of Del Potro today..He's been winning matches comfortably into the semis. I don't think Del Potro will get beaten like the way he did in australia. Should be a tough match for federer, has to be focused!
