    Be Honest: Fish's chances vs Nadal +600
    Ok so just looking at Fish, the way he served agaisnt Berdych looked effortless. He was hitting bombs up the middle, hitting slice serves out wide, and just plain out slower paced aces 115 down the middle or out wide. He wasn't even hitting them that hard but he was able to get in the corners over and over and over again. Plus his net game looks great and his backhand is his best shot and should be able to hold up to Nadal's forehand... I'm being optimistic here though, Fish can choke himself. I honestly think Fish has an outside shot
    Thoughts?

    He could do about as well as Del Potro did today if he serves out of his mind again. Unfortunately for Fish, the weather conditions are going to be much cooler when this match takes place and that won't help him add anything extra to his serve. I'm personally not expecting any upsets in the QFs. If there is an outside, outside shot at an upset ... I'd side with Tsonga if his serve is at an A++ level. Tsonga dominated one of the best return men in the game today with that serve and he could feasibly keep pace with Federer if he serves well. Problem is that I think from a mental standpoint, Tsonga probably won't be very confident here if anything goes wrong early. He'd have to have the match fall into his lap with Federer starting sloppy to have a chance.

    I am betting lots of people are going to toy with taking Fish as the sheik upset pick in the semis. The V word will be overused by anyone thinking about taking Fish in this one.

        I think Fish has a shot and it depends on how serious Nadal's injury is.

              Fish has a shot due to this foot problem. I think I'm staying away. The play has to be Fish or nothing though with the huge juice on Nadal.

                  Depends on thebook, some don't void at all, some void only if the retiral is in the first set, some void regardless when it is.
