Thanks BBC :rolleyes:.
Saved. Brilliant backhand from Youzhny on the run.
Three set points for Nadal.
Two remaining. One more on Del Potro's serve.
Nadal takes the third set 7-6 (7-4).
Youzhny is serving to stay in the match.
Two match points for Fed.
One match point remaining.
Deuce. :wacko: Great serving.
Adv. Federer.
Fed wins 6-7 (5-7) 6-3 6-3 6-3. Quite a good match really.
Federer. :bow: Kinda.
With respect to the financial side of things, you might be right. However, when considering it on a purely sporting level, this is actually a good thing. It shows that the world is doing well in tennis rather than just two or three countries. At the moment, there are 7 different countries represented in the quarter-finals. If Nadal wins his match, there will be two Spaniards whereas del Potro would make it 8 different countries.Quote:

Yes, I meant in terms of the sport's profile on the world stage. Having superstars like Sampras, Agassi, and Serena helps the game.Quote:

The semi finals are shaping up to be a bit :popcorn:
Nadal will have a scan on his foot tomorrow. He says he's worried he might have to pull out.
I would have to disagree: there is no way that Sampras or Agassi ever had the world exposure that Federer and Nadal have had.Quote:

Looks like the all star semi line up will happenQuote:
Rafael Nadal on Facebook: "Good morning everybody. Yesterday after the match I went to take an MRI at a London hospital. During the match I thought I had something serious but as the match went through the pain got better and thankfully the tests don't show an injury. Today I will practice at 4.30 pm and I'll play tomorrow. Thanks all for the support."
Lisicki v Bartoli just started
Lisicki broke first game
1-0
Like i said if he was injured, he would not have played on yesterday, especially against JDPQuote:

Only Twitter. Thats the biggest BS of all time.
FB is fine to an extent.
And he was injured hence he went for the scan. Fortunately the scan showed it wasnt serious so he continues but he was worried last night.
Anyway Bartoli serving to stay in the first set at 3-5
Lisicki serves for the set
yeah he was injured, but imo was never that bad for him to pull out. but least we get the semi we all wantedQuote:
