Stan and Jo-Willie could be epic, but I think Stan will pull through in four or five sets.

Roger is going to demolish Mischa in three sets.

Don't be surprised if JowillieTs serves exceptionally well and pulls an upset.,Remember, there's an extra motivation for Tsonga, JowillieTs has a bun in the oven and may have a little Muhammad Ali coming into this world by Summertime.

 

[El Dude]

I'd love to see Jo Willie win one. I suppose of the remaining players, he'd be #2 or 3 on my list, after Roger and maybe Grigor (I'd rather see Grigor win a Slam overall, but think he'll have a lot more chances while the clock is ticking for JWT, who turns 32 soon).

 

[Carol]

I'd like to see Tsonga wining that match, it's time to see him playing well again

 

[GameSetAndMath]

I am not smart enough to predict whether Rafa or Milos will win. I think it is 50/50 proposition.
But, I am willing to predict that whoever wins the match between Rafa and Milos will reach the finals.

 

[El Dude]

Yeah, I agree with that, GMWM - you aren't smart enough. Just kidding, my friend. It really is a wild-and-woolly Slam and who knows what will happen next. On one hand, Rafa is playing really well and should be able to vanquish Milos. On the other, the court has been really fast and Milos should be favored.

One thing I forgot is that winning the AO might be the best Slam for Rafa to win, if he only has one more in him, because of the "double Slam" he would lay sole claim to...at least in the Open Era, that is.

Yep, and that's why we (all his fans) hope that he wins and then he could forget that unlucky AO 2014

Even if he will lose today, Misha Zverev is the biggest surprise of this slam.
A breakthrough of a 29 y old player, who was coming through from now here, is very rare.

 

[Carol]

I'm glad that Tsonga is playing well but my head says that Wawrinka will win this match

 

[crystalfire]

stans just playing cat and mouse games with tsonga..just waiting for tsonga to make a mistake. wheres his aggressive tennis that saw him win slams??

Why use that much energy if he does not needed?

 

[El Dude]

Mischa is surprise #1, Istomin #2. It will be interesting to see if either can sustain this level, or something similar. I think Mischa has a better chance of it. But the interesting thing about him is that if he were eight years younger, or even five, this would look like a legit breakthrough into at least top 20 form. But because he's 29 it seems that it must be a fluke. But you just never know. I don't see him sustaining this kind of level, but he could be dangerous #20ish on tour for the next couple years.

Lots of talk about what Wawrinka said to Tsonga at the changeover. Apparently said what are you looking at. Seems to be turning into a real pr1ck.

What do you think about a possible Fed vs Stan semi. What is going to be the key you think?

Mirka :snicker seriously though, Roger has to serve well and dictate with his forehand. Stan has immense power so Roger can't afford to get lulled into defensive rallies. Needs to use body serves and hit behind Stan. He hit behind Berdych well and needs to do the same here to keep Stan off balance and not allow him time to tee off on his shots.

 

[atttomole]

This guy rushes to the net on every seve that he makes. He is really funny.

 

[Shivashish Sarkar]

Federer can find the passing shots. [WHITE SMILING FACE]

Zverev really doing well now. A TB could be tricky for Roger.
