Two Schweizer in the quarter finals.
How many Germans?: 0
How mny Yanks?: 0
That's almost as cool as cheap kitchen furniture. 
I just put a few quid on Gordon's girl at 13/2, and a bit on Radwanska at 14/1.
Will probably end up as losing finalists, or go out at the quarters.

Hmmm...I would have agreed with you a week ago, unconditionally. But Federer played very well today, so, we'll see.

Gambling will ruin your life.
Not if you win
"El Swizzo" challenges Djokovic. Two sets to one. Very nice!
Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bye bye, Novak!
Wawrinka, the human steamroller.
Now, Federer has to beat that "charmless celtic nerk"!
Well done, Stan! I didn't see that coming. Though Stan can be awesome.

Probably the hardest hitting man on the circuit. Now that his game has become reliable and his confidence is growing he's becoming really dangerous to the big four.
Do you think it's also boosted him that Roger's no longer at his peak?

Interesting question. Maybe. But it's also possible that Stan could improve his tennis over the years without being disturbed by the media attention during Federer's heydays. Media hype can drive some people mad. And Stan surely wasn't in the limelight, he was "the talent no sod knows". Even the Swiss media ignored him. Maybe that's paying off now.
At the risk of ending our friendship (hope not), I prefer how he comes across as a person, to Federer. Federer is rather too in love with himself for my liking.
