Yeah I've never heard the ball sound more violently struck then when Rosol was crushing it last night under the roof. It actually sounds ridiculously badass.

Really going to take a monumnetal effort for Benneteau to pull this out. Sounds like he might be hurting and with no tiebreak in the fifth Federer can just wear him down.

I just love watching Federer play. Benneteau had his chances but I think mentally it's hard for someone battling against the greatest player to ever play the game. He survived the scare, now he just needs to keep it going. I'm really looking forward to the Novak/Federer semi (provided it happens).
Its been a great first week, delays notwithstanding. Fed/Djokovic looks like it'll be the de facto final. Way more excitement and drama than the other two majors so far.

Fed did this the last time Rafa went out early too, at FO 2009 right after he heard his nemesis was toast, he proceeded to nearly screw the pooch against Haas in round 4. If it weren't for a ridiculously gutsy inside out forehand winner to save break point at 4 all, there would have been no career slam.
I think he just got too giddy at the thought of not having to go through Mallorcan Popeye for his 7th title. The Djoker is a difficult enough assignment by itself.
