Potential QFs:

Del Potro - Tipsarevic
Nishikori - Almagro
Anderson - Raonic
Simon -Tsonga

Is it me, or do the Frenchmen seem often to draw each other?

This does seem the case. Also all the argentines are in Delpo's half. Although we are unlikely to see a zeballos-delpo Semi.

Let's go DelPo! Let's go Simon!

Is Tokyo a 500 or a 250?

 

[Moxie]

Tokyo is a 500.

 

[kskate2]

Thanks Moxie. Delpo finally comes through 6-3 in the decider over Baghy. Lopez comes through 6-3 as well over Ito.

I saw that Juan Martin was in a fight with Baggy.

isabelle, any update Nalbandian's camp as to when he's returning? Will he be back for the Paris masters? Would be nice if both he and Soderling play there and play well. I can dream anyway!

del potro won..yippee

Nalby has retired ans Tsonga lost vs Dodig....sad day for me...

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Tsonga did not help his cause at all for the WTF . Milos took care of business against Soeda. Tipsy going home too.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

gasquet-tomic was full of 'classy moves'..tomic has a weird heavily disguised shot where he looks like he is going to hit one flat right down the middle but it goes either way..

tomic could be the shane warne of tennis..such was the clock and dagger surprise and bluff :emperor:

tomic lost because he is not fit enough, he is nearly 21 yrs old, maybe all thses tourneys where his 'mental tennis dad' cannot be at his matches :spacecadet: will make him realise he does not need his dad as much as he thinks he does (its in his head maaaan). :wow:

just noticed this poast is in the wrong thread, this match is in china open.

 

[JesuslookslikeBorg]

oh this thread is really popular isn't it ?. :snigger

this is the 'other' atp500 tourney..still del potro collared the dog..

so with milos winning the semi finals are; milos v dodig, del potro v mal aggro.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Dodig seems to have Milos's number, but I hope he can turn it around here. As much as I like Magro, I would love a Delpo-Milos final.

 

[kskate2]

DP hit one of the best FH's in his life (he's hit quite a few) in the first set. A CC screamer that ponytail could only watch whiz by. Catch it on the highlights, it's a sight to behold. :clap

 

[Front242]

Dodig seems to have Milos's number, but I hope he can turn it around here. As much as I like Magro, I would love a Delpo-Milos final.

I'd welcome that too. Del Potro's wrists are fine now so a few 130mph headshot serves or forehands right to Milos' head would be appropriate payback.

Delpony is in semi, happy for him
