Read my post again, it was a joke and serious at the same time

I was so annoyed with Cilic by the way.. Like Mats said 'There is no excuse for being out of shape on a grand slam' . He just seemed weak and slow to me. a million unforced errors.

Nadal just had to hit the ball back 3 times in a simple way and Cilic would end the point by hitting into the net

Could still be tired from his previous match. It went well over 4 hours, and Isner made him work very hard for that match win(even though at the end Isner had tons of unforced errors from getting tired himself)

Of course, but did you see the match? It was really bad. Nadal seems to be pretty lucky with his opponents so far, one quitting due to injury, others tired/low ranked. From now on we will see some more interesting matches

It must also be mentally tiring just knowing you're up against Nadal.

Well Tomic had great mentality actually, but Cilic looked like he wasn't just tired physically but tired of his life. Boring match

Well yeah. Unfortunately that's the case with most tennis slams, it only gets exciting in round 4/QF's, minus a couple of unforseen upsets.


And I agree, people have been complaining that Fed's road to the final has been easier, but Nadal's opponents have been pretty weak.

I think Nadal should handle Ferrer pretty easily and won't be tested until he gets to Murray(which Murray will probably get frustrated and start committing lots of errors) giving Nadal a pretty easy way to the final.

While Federer has to play an upstart Wawrinka(who he should be able to handle easily, but you never know), and a Djoker/Berdych who are both playing amazing tennis.

Either way the final has a potential of 4 players who are playing some great tennis.

I agree with what you said, except for Federer handling Wawrinka easily... he is playing really well, he could very well shock Federer and beat him, or at least give a run for his money... either way I dont expect Federer having it "easy".

I think Wawrinka will win a set... question is, will he win two? And if he does... can he close it?

Li and Petkoic are playing Li is up 6-2 4-4 atm
