Ooops - Federer out - bang goes my prediction! Fingers crossed for Murray.

The best games I've seen this year have been Marion Bartoli's last 3 games where she came back from her opponent serving for the match to come up with a victory.
Most of the games involving the top seeded men in the first week are merely a procession. 5 sets is too long between mis-matched players, its merely delaying the inevitable.
I'd rather watch two of the top women players with great personalities play each other than two
no-mark male players that I don't know or care about.

The women's games have been much more entertaining this time, and even better now that the ludicrous Williams monsters have gone (Serena now looks more like a giant arse with slight human appendages than a normal woman). Most of the men are just tiresome robots. Federer is a great player but he's so pompous these days (what with his monogrammed blazers and other special clothes, I'm surprised he doesn't also have his own personal chocolatier in attendance). It's a pity these days they don't often bother to show the older doubles - they tend to be far more fun and the veterans play with a bit of panache.

Answering myself I see sadly this confrontation will sadly be the Thursday semi final so - having to root for one, I select the unlikely Lisicki. She certainly won't out grunt Maria but good luck to her - the Goran of the year. Sharapova is terrific though (and gorgeous).

I'm hoping for a Sharapova/Lisicki final actually. Is that possible?
