Fedex stuns "wah"wrinka
An all Swiss Quarterfinal,much anticipated,the great clash between Swiss no.1 and no.2,Roger Federer and
Stanislas Wawrinka.
The match started with a break of serve.Wawrinkas. With Federer leading from the start, the match never really took off.What the match lacked in quality and speed, made up for in finesse and fun. Not every point was entertaining and the match just faded away.
Although a few points took your breath away-Federer hit another tweener between his legs!(it is said that he loves to practice this more than his serve!) ,monotonous and predictable hitting from Wawrinka(his signature shot-backhand down the line), who never got his rhythm, left you beggin for more. There was hardly any depth of play,low force in ground strokes and generally this was a match which was seriously overrated.
In the end, The FedExpress steamrolled Stan 6-1,6-3,6-4 to earn a well deserved spot in the semis. The interview (as always) was a funny one, with Jim Courier figuring out that Federer has nicked 20 towels from Centrecourt so far!
Bottomline-Cute match, but hardly fit for a Quarter,left you feeling bored and was definitely not worth a 4:30 AM wakeup call!
Updates- Caroline Wozniacki(DEN) beat Feancesca Schiavone(ITA) 3-6,6-3,6-3. Unfortunate, seeing that Schiavone (for me) has become a palyer to watch out for, specially after her nail biting marathon of a 3rd round where she beat Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-4,1-6,16-14!! (incidentally both the players are French Open champions, Schiavone being the current, n kuznetsova the previous year's) :)
Li Na(CHN) defeated Andrea Petkovic(who took out Sharapova in straight sets)(GER) 6-2,6-4 to advance to her second consecutive Aust open semi. She had upped her game signifigantly over the years, and she truly deserves to get to the final.
Novak Djokovic(SRB) defeated Thomas Berdych(CZE) 6-1,7-6,6-1. Saw only one set but loved the quality of tennis, though i felt Berdych could have done better , seeing that he has beaten Djokovic before. Djokovic has been the most consistent player so far in this half of the draw, he hasnt dropped a set and is a strong contender, waiting to regain his title!! :)
Cant wait for tomorrow! :)
