    Nah, the Americans should still be in it. I'm not surprised. In fact, Querrey should still be in it. Bad loss for him.

    oh whoops

    I was following along when he won the tiebreak, and then later I heard a tennis guy on another site bashing him for losing to Istomin.

    Yeah that means Americans doing really well. Querrey, Fish, Roddick, Kendrick, Blake, Russell...

    Seems like most have Roddick to do well or to win it all. He barely won his first round match....not a good sign

    Raonic beats Verdasco which definitely shakes things up.

    I should've left verdasco out of the semis just for having to face raonic again in the first.

    *waves goodbye to chances of winning points*

    The odds on that match were just stupid considering last week's outcome. Books probably made their money back though from anyone who took Raonic last week because I bet a lot rode the "Revenge" factor. Probably one of the hardest matches to cap - a repeat of the very last match played by both.

    Nice to see DelPo in control of Isner. DelPo has a pretty nice path to the semis based on all the crap that happened in his part of the draw.

    Thoughts on Tipsy's chances tomorrow against Roddick?

    Nice to see Del Potro win and Blake lose. Figured Verdasco might win a close one here but Raonic continues to win. Sky's the limit for this guy

    I was hoping for the seed to lose one, so I figure if DP wins, I should be in good shape. Then Verdasco loses.

    Gonna wait till we get the QFs set to score so that we'll have all but the last two questions scored. Sorry for continually changing my mind.

    he is a little bit more than that...not an isner or karlovic...he did break verdasco so his whinging is pretty laughable...if he thinks real tennis is played on clay why didn't he sign up for the tournaments in south america?

    To avoid confusion about grading for #5. The correct answer was Verdasco. As stated in the rules, if more than one seed lost in the same round, the correct answer would be the highest numbered seed to lose. He was #2.

    Raonic is burying me here. The Roddick/Del Potro match is going to be really good. It's good to see Del Potro back on track. Still have a feeling though Roddick wins the match and it seems that most of the people that submitted picks agree with that.Best of luck on the final two days everyone

    Would be interesting to see how many of us have changed our minds. Really hard match to pick now I think. My heart says have a lash on Del Potro but my head says leave it alone.

    What a final so far. Raonic just won the second set to force a third and final set. Great match

    Finally saw a replay of match point. That was one of the most genuine reactions I think I've ever seen to an incredible shot. Roddick's look of "did I do that" was priceless. Also got a nice shot of him losing his hat and the fact that he's going bald. Good thing he bagged Brooklyn Decker early before the hair started running south.
