Wawrinka raised his arms in triumph to celebrate and sent a message to his semifinal opponent - fellow Swiss player Roger Federer. Handed a pen to sign a camera lens, Wawrinka scribbled, ''See you tomorrow R.F.''

Mirka scribbled on her television screen: grow a pair, you crybaby! :devil

 

[Srini]

Federer in 3, Federer wants a rematch this time.

To prove he won the match last time, not Mirka

 

[Riotbeard]

Picking Stan in 3, but you never know with him. He was in great form yesterday, but it is a different match up.

 

[El Dude]

Total toss-up.

 

[Federberg]

Roger looks like he's playing well. It's one thing to play that way against Rafa, but Roger won't give Stan that sort of time. I suspect Roger does it in straights, but I wouldn't be surprised either way to be honest

 

[Front242]

Roger should win this if he serves well.

 

[tented]

Roger should win this if he serves well.

Any idea what his average first serve % has been this week?

 

[Front242]

No idea but Roger's first serve % for the year is 63% versus 59% for Stan.

Thanks.

I checked the results for this week. They're consistent:

v Berdych - 60%
v Anderson - 63%
v Cuevas - 61%

 

[Front242]

Stan has massive power and could overpower Roger if he took control of the baseline but Roger won't allow him that luxury if Stan plays as far back as he did against Rafa. Totally different opponent and that strategy won't work. Stan needs to employ some great net play like he did against Rafa and serve well. He played pretty unreal last night but doesn't mean a thing versus a totally different opponent. But then who knows.
