I had not even thought about him. I have always enjoyed watching him but forgot he had made it to the quarters. I am thrilled with this. I was astonished that Gasquet made it as well. I remember the first time I noticed him, he was new and he was pretty interesting. I thought he would rise rather quickly and be someone to contend with. He did a great job against Ferrer . It will be interesting to see the match with Nadal, after all he said he beat him once.......when he was 10. I guess I am not done watching yet.

Today was an excellent match, what I was able to see of it.

Not real optimistic about it, but one can hope, can't one!

I hope there are more and more guys raising to this level. Oddly I never minded Fed winning everything because he was so beautiful to watch and such a class act and genuinely nice guy. Right now I am so sick of the 3 top players I am thrilled to see all these challengers coming up.

I can't imagine. Ferrer can be tough but as much as I don't like it Nadal is really playing well and hard. Two very different games. I don't know enough to know if that will throw Nadal off or not. Would sure love to see it.

I will be watching tonight. What on earth is the match with Evert/Seles vs Jason Biggs and Raine Wilson? WTH is that all about?
