I've got Fed on but having trouble concentrating on it. Fed's playing better, trying to break now ...

Ludicrous point there. After saving BPs in the previous game, Hobak has BPs of his own...

Good for Errani. I really like her, she's reached the top of her level, and I always appreciate those types. And Lex is correct, she is far from a pusher. As I said a while ago, Sara is fun to watch against players that can't overpower her.
Unfortunately, she will face the worst of those in Stosur in the SF. Do not watch that match.

Beyond The Baseline @si_BTBaseline "Shut up!" Roger yells (in English) at the pro-him crowd. They keep audibly admiring his shots mid-rally. That's actually ur fault, Fed.

I don't remember anyone getting mad at the crowd for admiring them before. I really like both Jo & Delpo, so why I'm aching Novak/Jo when this result is actually NID? At least Delpo has a chance considering Fed is prone to lose in QFs now.

I don't remember anyone getting mad at the crowd for admiring them before. Lee Na that one time! Whose idea was it to put these matches on at the same time, anyway? Tsonga/Nole is definitely not NID right now, the quality is superb as well.

I remember driving home during one of the constant Monday US Open finals, and they were still in the same game. Sometimes, Rafa/Nole stalling has its benefits.

Meanwhile, Federer has broken back to win the third set 6-2 and will be serving first in the fourth. I guess it'd be too much to ask for both Delpo and JWT to win today?

They swapped breaks fairly quickly - neither really got any momentum in the third set. JWT should've broken first.
