suppose so! next year she'll have less points to defend...cept for RG

Safina for the win!

[Marc]

Well we're at the stage now where seeds meet seeds, we've had a few causalities in the women's side and men's
Davenport [23], Azarenka [14] and most shockingly Kuznetsova [3] and for the men;
Safin and Haas, both in great form at the moment.

Today's order of play looks very good
Both Williamses, Nadal and Murray. I am excited

[BigSister]

ooooh thats a good line up ^_^

Surely Davenport is going to retire now?

I have no idea! she's near her 1000th match played, lol I want her to make it to that match!
She didn't comment on her future after her defeat to Bartoli last night

She should get to 1000 then call it a day.She came back into in the 2nd set against Bartoli but she was totally outplayed in the first.At her age and after all the injuries I just don't see her getting back to a level where she's going to be competing well against the top players.

Well when I watched the highlights I found it really funny to see what similar games they both play, angels, depth, flat, powerful and lack of moment it was like watching Davenport play a younger, slightly different version of herself

Good first set tennis in Murray/Melzer match... shame Murray lost it 7-6

[Dan_]

Murray through after a real struggle, lost the first two sets and had to win a tie-break to stay in it.

[Marc]

hahaha typical murray! put us through the mill - emotions everywhere! Jurgen got cramp in the start of the 4th set - very good for British supporters!
I'm just thankful that Wawrinka had a 4hr match, will mean that both him and Andy would have had long tiring matches! Bring on monday!

Previous h2h: 3 - 3
Last match : Murray def. Wawrinka : 6-2 0-6 6-4.

(NB: Out of the 4 matches played against each other in 2008, Murray has won 3 of them)

[BigSister]

ooooooh murray won. i thought he was out(saw first 2 sets but then had to go out)

[andyman]

Tiger tim

[Marc]

David Ferrer is out! woohoo! he was the strongest contender in Murray's quarter.. should be good! Hope Murray can beat Wawrinka

[Marc]

Murray wins 6-1 6-3 6-3
Excellent result!

But up next is VERY in form Juan Del Potro who comes into this US Open after winning the 4 consecutive tournaments! Beating the likes of Haas, Roddick, Fish, Melzer and Gasquet on his way to those 4 titles. Any tennis fan will know that they are a very diverse bunch of men! When I first looked at the draw I thought that Del Potro will go very far - possible semi-finalist. But lets hope Murray can prevent that!

[BigSister]

ooh yay murray won
hes equalled his record hasnt he as he got wimbledon quarters this year(grand slam anyway)

[Dan_]

Great win for Murray,didn't expect it to be quite so easy.

[BigSister]

no neither did i dan

[Dan_]

Murray through to the semi-final! 7-6,7-6,4-6 7-5.That game felt it was never going to end,obviously a hugely close game and Del Potro seemed to gain confidence as the match went on and I really thought it was going to go the full five sets.Great job by Murray.

[Marc]

First grand slam semi for Murray.
I am so relieved that match was over.. throughout the whole match it seemed that Murray was definately the better player, during the first 3 sets I wasn't worried or anything. But then he lost the 3rd and throughout the 4th it was anyone's game! But finally Murray won (most of which was down to the fact that Del Potro looked like he was dying lol)
Nadal or Fish next! ... likely to be Nadal

[BigSister]

Yay first semi for Murray ^_^
Bound to be Nadal though and he will probably lose but you never do know

[Marc]

Nadal! haha yaaay should be fun, just hope Andy rests from that marathon match.
