Cilic is a very good player; just ran out of steam. Might put a sneaky bet on him to do well in Wimbledon cuz he's got the game for grass.

Mmmm Serena vs Justine. 5 years ago I'd have said it is boring but not anymore. I'm surprised by both of them.

I'm surprised Murray got this far, he deserves tho. But I think Federer-Tsonga is going to be amazing. It will be tough for both of them.

Justine V. Serena will be good.. Not even sure who will win. Serena is the obvious favourite to win but hmmm not sure!

Tsonga is fun to watch but his tank must be empty after those 5 setters. Poor cilic had 2 5 setters before he met murray and then he crashed in the 4th set. Tsonga will be feeling it by the 3rd set.
One thing is for sure Murray who's had 3 setter matches ( except for his last) will be fresh for his match.

re Serena vs Justine. I think Justine has a great chance. Serena scraped through in her semi while Justine steamed through in 50 mins 6-1 6-0. After that loss in the finals up in Brisbane against kim C, Justine has had a fire in her belly.

I don't care how tired Tsonga was or how well Federer was playing - that was a pathetic performance from him. He didn't fight at all and allowed Fed to run the show. Very disappointing stuff.

Hmm well Li Na is higher ranked than Zheng Jie and I personally think Li Na is a better player so its hard to assess who's better [Justine or Serena] based on those two. However Justine most definately will have fire in her belly as a result of that loss. After all she should have won that match against Kim but she let it slip.

Its hard to tell what its actually like down there against Federer. After all he is a genius and he clearly knew how to play against Tsonga and drop shoting him seemed the best idea considering his long matches earlier on in the tournament. His tactics are amazing

Nah, Tsonga didn't approach the game in the right manner, playing defensively and quite happy to rally with Federer without showing any kind of aggression. He played into Fed's hands and deserved to be thumped because of his lack of ambition.

Federer should have been out of the tournament last match so no, I don't agree that he gets his tactics right. He's just a winner, that's all. Hate the fŁcker.

LOL whether you like him or not he's got to be one of the best, if not the best, tennis player ever to have turned professional. Tsonga should have lost in the quarter final, if it wasn't for Djokovic's aliment.

Williams vs Henin right now.

6-4 3-6 2-2

It's close. These 2 deliver a great watching everytime they play against each other.

And Fed should have been beaten by Davydenko. I just don't like the man - never have.

Shame Andy lost, but its a good achievement for him. He'll get a Grand Slam sometime, everybody just expects so much from him. Too much pressure for the lad to cope with

Yep, because of all the play in Oz. On his official site it says '' Andy's taken an extra week off to recuperate and recover for the long season ahead. '' Next tournament - Dubai

& he won't be fined as he didn't break any rules. It was perfectly acceptable to pull out even though the TD will be obviously disappointed that he's lost the top seed..

Did anyone enter the public ballot for wimbledon this year? Beginning of the week they started to send offers out, not heard anything yet, so i'm doubtful

I would love to go to Wimbeldon. My mate went, lucky guy tbh. I was gutted last yr when Nadal beat Federer though. Wish Federer could've made that record :/
