Roger, Roger, Roger. You had the chance to go up a set and a double break and then... sleepy time. I don't know quite what happened - I only saw a few games of the match, mostly ones where Federer was losing - but it was not so good.
*
There was some good. His shots on clay are exquisite. He's got some serious game - and this surface suits him. People are always going on about how he can't play on clay, but he can: when he was making his shots, they were beautiful. But the unforced errors and the shanking... not so good.
*
It's better than at Monte Carlo, and I suppose it's all a matter of work and practice and how you feel on the day. But I just want Federer to do well so badly. I'm a hopeless Fedophile. And he can do anything. He's the best player ever. I just want him... to, well, do it.
*
All credit to Djokovic, though - he fought back from what looked like an impossible situation to win that match. But it's just so sad...
*
...and he's facing the deadly, lethal Rafael Nadal. No words for this man. He is totally lethal.
*
And on the subject of #1 ranked players, Dinara Safina is looking good to take the title in Stuttgart. She'll face Svetlana Kuznetsova in the final, and I would put a large sum of money on her winning. The top suits her, and it suits her well.
