Been a tough few days for the top seeds in the BNP Paribas Open. First Baghdatis, felled Federer, in a nail biting 3 set match that went over two hours. Then Rafa, looked like he was going to have the same fate handed to him when Isner, took the second set in their 3 set match, but he managed to fight through it and made his way, into the quarter-finals. Finally Djokovic, who already struggled earlier in the week against Kholscrieber, was downed by Ljubicic, in straights.
At this point Rafa and Murray are the two most likely finalists. A repeat of their match in the finals last year is imminent. But Soderling and Roddick, are the two players most likely to stop that from happening and they're both stationed in Murray's half.
Nadal, has been playing great, as has Murray and I'm really looking forward to a potential showdown between them. Although, Soderling/Roddick vs Nadal would probably be just as exciting.:)
Btw, I hope everyone got the chance to see the Marcos Baghdatis/Roger Federer match. It was a simply incredible, performance from Marcos, even struggled against Roger, he still produced a brilliant level of tennis and played the important points, better than Roger did.
Marcos, really deserved this and I was glad to see him win.
Don't worry too much Federer fans. It wouldn't surprise me at all, to see him come back hard and take Miami, just a couple weeks from now.:)
