Good to see JMDP winning back to back matches! :clap

I see #2 seed Cilic is upset by Stepanek. :clap

Not surprising after how he played a couple weeks ago against Murray at the FO! :angel: :dodgy: :clap

Also not surprising given how good Stepanek's game is for grass. I like watching old Radek - sneaking into the net, getting in player's faces and on their nerves, playing with such joy cause he's just so happy to be out there and doesn't know how much longer he's got on the tour. Beware the veteran who's match toughened over the years but playing with complete freedom in their 'old age'....

Yes, well done Delpo!

The top of the game misses him! He should be in his prime right now, if not for the injuries.

Federer barely eking out wins. In both sets, he had to save set points. Hope, he picks it up as time progresses.

JMDP not only wins his third match, he bagels Simon along the way :clap.

The semis are set.

Fed vs. Thiem and JMDP vs. Kohly

That's a great pair of semis. Any permutations of a final from this is a match worth seeing. I'll go with a Teutonic mini-war: Thiem v Kohly in the final...

I would take Fed vs. JMDP final; I doubt whether they ever played against each other after 2009 USO.

Did they meet in the WTF in 2009? I thought Del Potro dispatched him?

EDIT: Olympic semi in 2012. Always great matches. I'd like to see it too, to be honest...

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Just checked the H2H. Fed is 15-5 over JMDP.

I am totally wrong with my remark. They have played as many as 13 times after the famous USO final.

 

[isabelle]

hope Delpo can win the tourney, it would be sooo nice !!! Vamos Juan !!

Thiem breaks Fed in the second set. The young man is looking rather good the turf.
