Stan is looking scary good.

 

[Kieran]

Forget about Stan v Rafa for the mo, what about Nole? He'll be eager to face the guy who brought him down in his own little patch of the Universe...

 

[Riotbeard]

16 winners to take the first.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

First set goes to Stan 6-1

Come on Ferrer, make me proud.

Rough day at the office for his opponent...

Ralf couldn't make it past the guy getting buzz-sawed out there. Roger or Nole may not fare any better against this version of Stan. It's similar to watching Soderling, but with better margins for error on his shots.

Off to make breakfast for company... enjoy the tennis folks!

Where did you take that from? David had a winner, a nice BH defending pass

He took it from the television. When he wrote that, he had not hit the back hand pass, hence the next stat was 14-1.

OK, I see. Thanks

This second set is an even affair, as Stan dropped his level

 

[Riotbeard]

Go Stan! An impressive win on clay for sure. It will be a good final I think.

 

[Moxie]

Only watched some of the last few games, but Stan looks good. Nice win for him.

 

[DarthFed]

Stan's power on the backhand is crazy. I didn't see the first set but Stan still looked quite good in the 2nd and Ferrer pretty much had to just hope for some errors. I think Stan's going to have a decent chance regardless of who wins the other semi.

Power is the great equalizer...When you can hit people off the court, you always have a chance. Good job Stan.
