Fun fact: I hit with Michael Yani for about forty-five minutes one time. Did not realize he had qualified for Wimbledon.

[Terp]

Most likely the only one following this match but what a comeback by Cuevas so far.

Robert Kendrick has looked great against Andy Murray early. He was up 5-4 and had 0-30 on Murray's serve, but lost the set. However, the American came back to win the second set in a tiebreaker. He gave Nadal a tough match a couple years ago at Wimbledon. An upset wouldn't surprise me here.

5 seed Juan Martin del Potro was upset in the second round by Lleyton Hewitt. This leaves Roddick as the highest remaining seed in his quarter of the bracket.

Almost halfway through Wimbledone now, and surprisingly there are still 5 Americans left. There are the usual suspects, the Williams sisters and Roddick, along with two qualifier unknowns, Jesse Levine (currently up a set in his match against #19 Wawrinka) and Melanie Oudin (just defeated #6 Jankovic).

This is wonderful.

 

On NBC right now, we've got a replay of the Safina-Mauresmo match instead of live coverage of the Murray-Wawrinka match which is currently tied at 1 in sets and 2-2 in the third sets.

 

Nice job, NBC.

On NBC in NY right now Ellen is on. Murray's match is on ESPN2 though.

I get "This program is not available for viewing in your area" on ESPN2 because of the NBC crap. I'm assuming that ESPN2 will come back in about 15 minutes when NBC's coverage stops.

I'd like to see that but it's not something I'd ever predict. When's the last time Federer has lost to Roddick?

Roddick did beat Federer in April of 2008, but is 2-16 all time against Federer, I believe.

Even if Roddick gets there, he's not going to beat Federer.

 

That being said, I don't think Roddick even makes the final. I bet Murray takes him down in the semis.

A Roddick/Murray semi would be great to watch though.

Yawn. Another major, another Federer semifinal. He'll play Haas next, who beat Djokovic.

 

Murray also through to the semifinals and Roddick is up 2-1 in sets against Hewitt.

Going 5 now. Not good for Roddick should he win having to play Murray after a 5 set match. Murray v Federer in the final should be interesting. They love Federer their and he will be going for the record, but Murray is the home town boy and will be the fan favorite as a result.

Roddick just broke Hewitt at 4-4 in the 5th and is now serving for the match.

Roddick manages to finish off the match, finally, setting up semifinals of Roddick-Murray and Haas-Federer.

He's apparently not much of a Murray fan or is just really, really high on Roddick.

Surprisingly, Murray has actually beaten Federer in 6 of 8 matches they've played against each other, so it's not a given Federer is winning Wimbledon.

This Serena Williams-Elena Dementieva semi is very entertaining. Third set, Williams just broke Dementieva at 6-6, now serving for the match.

[bukie]

The other womens semi...not so good. Venus Williams mopped the floor with Dinara Safina 6-1,6-0.
