Fed is beaten in four sets by Robin Giant-killer Soderling. Last year it was Nad and this year it's Fed. This guy is insatiable at the French. I was wrong, I know, about him losing to Fed but I stand by what I said - I'm all for Sod this year to win. I really am. There's the Nad factor, of course there is, chances are he's probably going to face him in the final (come on Almagro!!), but after that crushing (with a capital C... first time he'd lost at the French in four years... ouch) defeat last year does he care? After a crushing defeat of Fed (Sod was awesome today) does he really care? Come on the Sod!!
NB: Am very sad that Sod ended Fed's hopes of a) doing the big 'grand slam' (all four slams in one year) and b) adding to his 23 semi-final appearances in slams record (still, surely that'll never be beaten...?).
Other news? Wozzy is out after another crushing defeat (another for this blog/day, not for Carolina) by scary Schiavone. Quite comprehensibly creamed. Berdych continued his impressive run by... crushing Youznhy in three very straight sets. Berdy/Sod semi; very interesting match. Am considering calling in sick at work just to watch it... Dementieva also goes through in a much tighter match against Venus-killer Petrova.
Bring on tomorrow!
I'll keep you blogged...
