Fernando Verdasco, has upset another top-seeded player. Jo Wilfried Tsonga, the #5 seed and the runner up at last years Australian Open became Verdasco's, latest victim, falling in an intense four set match.
Verdasco's, performance at the Open, has been nothing shy of incredible. Although he's probably tired from the grueling match with Murray, Verdasco, does stand a good chance of making the finals, despite having an 0-6 head to head vs Nadal. I think it's going to take everything Rafa's, got to put an end to Verdaso's amazing run.
Roger Federer, more than made up for his sub-par fourth round match by demolishing Del-Potro in... get this 6-3, 6-0, 6-0. I'm not surprised that Federer beat Del Potro but a double bagel?! It really doesn't say much for the sixth best player in the world. Still, I'm glad that Federer is taking the Open seriously. With a blow-out like this I would have to favor Federer to make the finals.
Andy Roddick, has made it to another major semi-final, his opponent, Novak Djokovic, apparently knew that Roddick wanted to make the semi-finals and was willing to retire from the match in the fourth set, so that Roddick could move on to face Federer in a match that he will most likely lose. Seriously, why does Djokovic retire from so many of his matches? Is it because he doesn't want to lose and feels that he's getting out of it this way? I don't know but I don't buy all of his injuries.
Maybe it's just me but I thought there were some especially good matches at the Australian Open this year.
