(+) Yeah! (+)

McHale's up a break now!

She isn't playing any better than she did in the first though, Kerber is just making more errors.

Even if Federer goes two sets down, I'm not convinced he loses until Benneteau has match points.

I think Benneteau decided to use the 3rd to regroup himself mentally and physically after getting broken to start. Try to make Roger work more than you, then just try to overwhelm I the 4th with the same stuff that got you there. He might stand there and let 4 aces go by in this next game.

That would be incredible. And I would approve of that style of play.

Year of the Gasquet

Apparently all the Spaniards are playing themselves out of the tournament to support Nadal?

Almagro losing wasn't a huge upset mind you, but I was not expecting Verdasco to go out today as well. Maybe there is hope for Roddick yet? Or mayber Ferrer will realize he's the last one and go beast mode on him.

Eh, clay specialist losing on grass isn't the most surprising thing in the world.

Besides Gasquet's actually not horrible on this surface.

And I can't believe Fed missed that drop shot. It didn't even need to be a particularly great drop shot to win the point.

Even if Fed wins the next game I think Benneteau is going to have a LOT of momentum going into a tiebreak.

Dem aces.

He needs those aces, if he doesn't win this set, he's not winning the match.

The less Federer in the bracket the better chance Roddick has, so I'm all for it.

Even though I do kinda want Fed to break Sampras's #1 record.

I just want him to do it because he's so damn close to it.

Like he's obviously better than Sampras but as long as that ghost remains, there'll still be an argument. He needs to break the record.

...and good GOD this is tense. I want Fed to win, but I can't take anything at all from Benneteau.

He needs to stay on serve now. Federer is destroying him on the add side of the court so he can't be down on the changeover.

no way. I'm sure Benneteau was putting everything into set 4 but there is no way Federer is playing 100% right now either.
