Im looking forward to this...Hoping for Federer win and that would me he will face Nadal who I think just might knock Federer out this year if he is too qualify for the semis.... :unsure:

Back for this and wouldnt have missed it for the world!

Roddick to serve - let the games commence.

If Fed wins this he will surely be super-determined to beat Nadal, which would set him up very nicely for the beginning of 2008 'business as usual folks, come and catch me if you can....'

The question is this.
Will either player try to tank the match in the fear of playing Nadal?

He breaks.Roddick has his head down.He is a loser already by the looks of things! :blink:

Fed having broken already suggests that he is well in control.

Federer is playing likethe Federer we know.The commentators are saying he thrives on a challenge and we all know Andy has a big mouth.Federer is controlling the rallies with,guess what,his UNFORCED errorful Forehand :P Hitting winners and moving Andy all over .He is also controlling the net! Its so far a great match.

Great rally drawing Andy In to the net and easily passing him with the backhand.It looked like he had so much time to pass him and he hit the ball slow!

Important hold for Roddick.He needs to hang with Federer coz we know that Federer can throw a loose game every now and then.

:unsure: yes that is an interesting thought. Personally I think Ferrer is the more in form player out of the two this week. But as I haven't been able to view any of the matches :( I can only go by what I read so could be wrong. :rolleyes:
