Me too, I can't believe he lost, those first servers didn't work well but he was playing good though he made some bad decisions in certian crucial points :cover :(

Crazy to win with a ratio of 100 errors to 62 winners. He'll really have to step it up against Nishikori though. Good to see Kei's not injured for once so maybe he has a shot. Roger looks likely to be playing a tired Berdych too in the quarters so two guys in the quarters will play their next match after short 3 setters to meet opponents who played long 5 setters.

Only just watched the last 2 games in Fed's match but he's not serving well at all. Maybe he was much better in the first 2 sets. Have no idea. But looks poor enough out there now but it was enough to beat Goffin easily in any case so I guess he had no need to go flat out.

I saw the first two matches of Goffin, he was mediocre. If he played like that today, than even an average Roger would be able to beat him easily, like he did.

Well, I've read on tennis.com that Fed was in God mode first two sets but average in set 3. Can't comment 'cos I saw around the last 3 games but wasn't impressed with what I actually did see. Anyway, he moves on well rested which is good.

I am glad Novak won, but darn if that isn't a little too close for comfort.
