Congrats to SuperNiceDog for winning the guru contest.

Kevin Anderson has so far made $4,084 in 2012, just think how much more he could make by beating Berdych.

The Czech has already made 10million in his career and is totally poised for a big breakout season, ah this is like the unstoppable force meets the immovable object, something's gotta give.

Go Gasquet! Go Gasquet!

I'm with you there!! Love his backhand, too bad he can't do **** ever...

Did we really expect anything different? Dude will never break Fed and his tiebreak is no match either.

Anderson vs Berdych building up to be an all time classic.

I expect nothing else from Karlovic, breaking him once in 20-some sets or something like that, but it only takes a point in a tiebreak and he continually finds ways to not do it. *sigh*

When you lose a set in a game where your opponent double faults FOUR times, you don't deserve to win the match.

Isner is allergic to breaking serve.

--
Congratulations to Rafael Nadal on a Career Golden Slam. - The Mana Sword

I'm aware of his allergy, but that game was like having a service break sandwich shoved down his throat, and he managed to gag it up and not get sick.

Then manages to crumble in the 5th. It's like him and big Ivo try to outdo each other in bed-s***ting. Quite the contest today, as neither could have broken a faberge egg when it mattered.

Hope not. **** me this guys style of tennis makes Nadulls look exciting. Hopefully Fed teaches this kid a lesson on how to play Tennis.

I'm starting to think this Djokovic guy might make it in tennis.

Seriously though I don't think he's dropping a set this tournament. He seems like a video game with a stat cheat on.

Two wonderful competitive sets and a third s***ty one after Llodra basically gave up and stopped taking it seriously. And got bagelled as a result.

Boo.

Men's Draw Last 16:

Djokovic/Hewitt
Ferrer/Gasquet
Murray/Kukushkin
Tsonga/Nishikori

Federer/Tomic
Del Potro/Kohlschreiber
Berdych/Almagro
Nadal/Lopez

Ferrer/Gasquet, and perhaps JMDP/Kohlschreiber, Federer/Tomic might be interesting to watch. I'd like to think Hewitt could do something on his own patch - this might be the last time he gets to R4 in an AO - but Djokovic is surely too strong. Berdych/Almagro might be tight, but I don't think many care about either player. Next round likely brings Murray/Tsonga and Federer/JMDP, which are the first matches between the genuine threats to win the whole thing (defined as Top Four + Tsonga + JMDP). Should be some good showdowns in the SFs and Final (c'mon, Federer/Nadal).

Women's Draw Last 16:

Wozniacki/Jankovic
Clijsters/Li
Azarenka/Benesova
Goerges/Radwanska

S. Williams/Makarova
Sharapova/Lisicki
Errani/Zheng
Kvitova/Ivanovic

I haven't watched any of the women's matches so far. Wonder if this is the slam will provide Woz's first win (no).

Didn't just lose to a nice guy. I lost to SuperNiceDog in the guru.

Women's draw is wide open, it is kind of refreshing. There's six or seven of them left that are real threats and all of them have looked really good thus far.

Son of a b****.

I was watching the Raonic/Hewitt recording on DVR (I was in the middle of the third set tiebreak) and my roommate texted me tell me the result of the match.

Why must people do this to me?

IF he actually manages to reach one. It seems even the draw is pitying him this time by not having his usual SF brick wall (Nadal) in his half.
