Wow, Star Sports showing the end of Venus vs. Kleybanova instead of Federer vs. Hewitt. **** off.

Venus better finish this off now.

I dislike Hewitt, but he played a good first set there. Credit where credit is due. Even then though, he couldn't win it. Roger's amazing.

Have a feeling Roger may lift now. Just broke Hewitt in the first game of the second set, and I reckon he'll romp home now.

Hewitt has an alotted single set per match against Federer where he has an opportunity to really rattle the cage.

But he always serves like 25% first serves in the tiebreak and loses because his second serve is absolute trash.

Haha been happening since 2004 when he was #2 in the world.

Was thinking this during the first set actually. Great call.

Amazing how easily Federer won that in the end, especially after the first set and not looking his best throughout.

Verdasco two sets up against Ancic. Was good value, wonder if Simon placed a bet.
Epic match going on atm. Ancic come back from 2 sets down to take it into a 5th. Was 1-4 down in the 4th as well, and took the set 6-4.

what happened? is he able to continue?
Yeah, but he almost never calls for the trainer, so considering he did it right after the point where he hurt his calf it was looking damn serious.

He's continued and taken the first set. Gun.

And speaking of guns, Super Mario Ancic just beat Verdasco, coming back from 2 sets to 0 down! Won the 5th set 13-11!

rafa goes through fairly easily...and ancic and safin have both become dangerous floaters in this draw now...

I see Murray does the classic Henman thing of getting to 5-5 and therefore automatically losing the set 7-5 despite several 'heroic' points. Also could he physically hit his second serve any softer? Maybe he's trying to do a drop shot off it.
