I thought Roger looked great today. But it’s hard to judge anyone’s worn againstKarlovic. No rhythm. But his returns were first unbelievable today.

Roger will win against Karlovic and he will face Haas..though i would love for Roger to kick Chokeovic’s butt out of Wimby to further shut him up…dont know if his being assigned to Court nos 1 isnt humbling enough!lol!

I agree … Haas has always given Roger trouble. French Open recently and I remember at the US Open he gave him a good run too. I think the fact that Roger has lost to Murray and Djokovic recently (sports commentators love harping on this) is irrelevant at this point because (1) Roger has regained his confidence and (2) Roger has never lost to Murray in a Slam and only lost to Djokovic when he had mono. Which is not to say that I think he’d roll over them, but certainly I’d expect him to bring his A game and win those.

Ooh, easy to talk when the mathes aren’t yet on the cards:-)

Hope Roger comes through this one. I think Haas is going to win comfortably against Djoko. Semifinal would be tough one for Federer, Haas would be a tougher opponent than Djokovic in my mind. Tommy vs Roger , Andy vs Andy. Dream final would be Fed vs Roddick.. let’s see..

no offence to Andy R but it feels like if he got to the end against Fed we all might as well watch a repeat of 2004/5…c’mon Murr-AY!

Routing for Haas, he has had so much bad luck that he deserves some good fortune in these “twilight” (!) years

Lmao over Novak’s “ear cramps”!!

acid test for ROGER tomorrow . . hope he comes out all guns blazing . .
what is very important from federer’s perspective would be how he serves . .
cant afford any single weak service game !
GO ROGER GOOO

Yeah, my fave final scoreline would be Fed/A-Rod 6-4 6-4 6-4.

I’m afraid for Roger tomorrow. But if anyone can break Ivo, it’s Fed.

Also, I think there’s going to be one upset, and it’s not going to be Fed. I’m thinking either Nole or Murray are going to get bounced out. But maybe that’s just because I’m hoping for a Federer v Roddick final.

Dr. Ivo is like the “whammy” in the draw – no one wants him! But someone has to take him on eventually. . .Roger sounds confident!

Hi Mudnessa! Glad you’re back. Hoping that Djokovic/Haas is a great match – it definitely has the right components.

I think I’m rooting for Tommy in this one. . .you?

I love how in tennis, Tommy is OLD OLD OLD!

JFK! We could make a new movie: “There will be Tiebreaks” Oh yes. . .

Ivo’s victory dances are R-rated. Did you see the old lady in his box doing it ,too? LOL! Anyways, I am nervous for Roger, especially since Dr.Ivo is serving at 100%. I just hope RF can break early and hold serve so there will be NO TIEBREAKS. Go ROGER!

I refuse to speculate on the Roger/Ivo match. Tennis Gods might be rubbing their hands up there.

Go, Tommy go! Let’s hear it for the good-lookin’ geriatrics.

Your wrap up of the Hass Djokovic match up is hilarious but only because it is so true. I bet they keep the trainer busy during that match.
