Nole...

Though being a huge fan, his some kind of slice retuens to the mid are killing me...

That's true... Though watching this match I can't see him win against Nadal... Fed maybe but Nole with his silly errors and today's return game - unfortunately no match for Nadal...

Insane mental strength by Nole. Definitely the favourite against Fed. I'd say Nole in 4.

I am curious about Delpo's press conference after the game, what did he say?

4 match points saved from Djokovic... In the tie-break, Tsonga led 4-2 as well... What a pity :cry: :cry:

I really thought he would win the tie-break as Fed did last year against Djoko. The difference was :

1) With the rain in the end of the fourth, the court was really slow ;
2) Tsonga seemed to have a lot of pressure on his shoulders at the end of the fourth.

In the 5th he was completely out.

Djoko simply played better then him. Everything else is an excuse, sorry. I love Tsonga and hate Djoko btw.

I don't say he didn't deserve the victory, just that with a faster court and a better ability to manage pressure, Tsonga would have perhpahs won the tie-break like Federer did last year ;)

Almagro has already won twice as many games in the first set than Monaco in his entire match.

How many tie breaks has Almagro lost this year? 10?

Almagro always plays close matchs against Nadal, but at the end, he always looses :/

Don t matter if it s gonna be Fed or Nole on Sunday, they both need a rainy cold day to have a chance against Nadal.

If it s sunny and warm, Nadal will wipe out anyone.

Especially against Ferrer who is only waiting for a Murray UE, which happens in like half of all rallies.

Ferrer, no weapons against Nadal... easy match for the 6th times roland garros champion. I expect Djokovic on the final, i think mentally is so strong, that could be a very interesting final against the best player ever on clay.
