US OPEN 2006: Men's Semifinals

The Mad Professah Prognostications™ for the Women's Semifinals are done so now let's talk about the Men's Draw.

Roger Federer SUI (1) vs. Nikolay Davydenko RUS (7). Federer had to come up with some good stuff to get past James Blake in four sets on Thursday. Davydenko did come up with some of his best stuff to get past a resurgent Tommy Haas from two sets down. Davydenko is a good player who has not had much success in the Grand Slam tournaments. However, Federer will not be denied his 4th major final of the year.
WHO I THINK WILL WIN: Federer (in 4 sets).
WHO I WANT TO WIN: Federer.

Andy Roddick USA (9) vs. Mikhail Youzhny RUS Amazingly, Nadal was taken out by the hunky Russian in the quarterfinals in four sets where he was comprehensively outplayed and out-hit. Roddick had to play his arch nemesis Hewitt in the quarterfinals going in with a head-to-head 2-6 deficit but he shut down the Aussie in straight sets. Youzhny was also able to take out the Bryan Brothers in Men's Doubles, preventing the American 6'4" twins from reaching their seventh consecutive Grand Slam doubles final.
WHO I THINK WILL WIN: Roddick (in 5 sets).
