Federer into his 42nd Masters 1000 final, and going for title No. 24.

Gjokovic into his 36th Masters 1000 final, going for his 25th title and trying to complete his Masters 1000 set.

Murray going home to be get rested up for the USO. A bit relieved frankly.

Murray is such a nice bloke...even when he wants to talk trash. During that change over in the TB he said to Roger " Uhm, Sir? Your current spouse, Mrs Federer, uhm, Mirka? Before you met her, or really knew about her at all..uhm...she might have had , like , relations with someone you and I probably do not know about...and I am not saying she did, but , like, might have...you know, and I am really sorry to bring it up now, but you know...Sorry"

Good that Roger changed the topic sportingly when the commentators asked how much it means for him to win tomorrow and get the number 2 spot back. For those whose tv coverage or stream didn't show it, he said "I think the real talking point should be Novak going for the golden masters, whatever you want to call it, winning all the masters titles or me going for number 7 here and not the number 2 spot in the rankings. That's not so important. Of course I'd like to reach another final at the US Open and win it but I haven't done that for quite a while, let alone reach a final and Novak and Andy are playing great".

Just saw that Federer has held serve against Murray 35 consecutive times. Wow.

Yup, and won 10 straight sets.

Roger hasn't lost serve all week, correct?

Haven't seen enough matches to confirm that but if that's the case, that's mighty impressive given who he's played.

I knew that Feli can't do a second 'wonder' in a row, he never did and he never will :nono

What do you mean? He has beaten Rafa twice in a row now. :lolz:

I just checked: he faced 3 BPs against Lopez (none against the others), but wasn't broken.

Murray's such an idiot with this counter-punching crap! Letting old man Federer take you out in straights has to be embarrassing! It'll cost him if Nole allows him to win and reclaim #2 in the world! ;-)

That'd be nice of him alright to "allow" him to win and deprive him of the one title he wants almost as badly as Roland Garros. Yeah I can see Novak doing that alright.

He has a few years to win it! He might want to avoid the old man in the semi's if he can help it! Roger does have his number at times on fast surfaces! Federer's playing and finally attacking the net like I suggested ages ago! This is small potatoes compared to another USO! He's been struggling only making finals! One title just won't do! :p :nono :angel: :dodgy:
