So, Becker commentates like he tweets then? "i am at wimbledon, looks like it will be played on grass again, as usual" (<-- fake, but not by much)
Well...this was not fun while it lasted.

This was not much fun while it lasted, but a lot more fun when it was over.

I think tennis fans already got a much more competitive match than they had any right to expect.
It is worth noting that the last time Benneteau played Roger, he won. 2009 Paris Indoors, another quick court. I think it's fair to say that there are things about Benneteau that trouble Roger. The serve, mostly, but also taking the ball early on the backhand.
Open question: is Roger not a very good five set player or is his five set record colored by the fact that for so many years hardly anyone could push him to five? Now he has a bit more chance to record five set comebacks - an irony of having your game develop a few more holes.
I am happy that the QF streak lives. Hopefully it does not die here.
All that said, a match like today's does not bode well for an encounter with Djokovic. Roger will not win playing this poorly.

Yes, Grar - I would revise my pre-tournament picks and go for Djokovic, if I had to do them over now.

Someone tweeted that it seems like Rosol has been inspiring all the underdogs. He may have inspired his ex-wife! She won silver medal in European athletics championships today. Ex-wife? Why did she keep his last name then? Maybe because it's easier to pronounce than her previous - Scerbova.
