Defending champion and World #3 Novak Djokovic surprisedvery few avid tennis watchers by retiring down 7-6 6-4 6-2 2-1 against Andy
Roddick to relinquish his title in this year's quarterfinals.
Roger Federer served up two(!) bagels to extremely talentedyoungster Juan Martin del Potro in a 6-3 6-0 6-0 drubbing
to reach a record 19th consecutive Grand Slam semifinal
where he will play Andy Roddick, whom he has never lost to in a major.
Rafael Nadal will likely get past the pulchritudinous Fernando
Verdasco for his second consecutive Australian Open semiwhere he will face...
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga who put a beat down onthe Spaniard last year to reach his first Grand Slam final.
Will history repeat itself?
The Australian Open is heating up (literally). Unfortunately, World #3 Novak Djokovic couldn't take the heat while World #2 Roger Federer seemed to thrive in it. MadProfessah will have more on the upcoming semifinal matches, which I believe will be Federer v. Andy Roddick and World #1 Rafael Nadal v. last year's finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
I sure hope Tsonga does his thing if he gets to Nadal, a repeat of last year. del Potro? That was a clinic Riger gave, and, he is going to have to rethink his game with the big guys, but, he's so easy on the eyes that win or lose, its a great match when he plays.
