Roger vs. Roddick

ROGELIO WON!

Had some scary moments there, but Roger kept his cool. Well, mostly, heh. The errors he had (like, 40, I think it was. Dude.) were crazy.

Also, his curls are getting longer finally and I could not heart them more. Even if the Miami humidity was wrecking havoc with their perkiness tonight. Step off, humidity! (This pic is from earlier in the week and do not represent how limp zee curls were last night. For reals.)

Djokovic is next for the semis. I read he was sick? Here's hoping. :P



Rafa vs. Wawrinka




RAFA WON!

This one I didn't get to see (HI FSN, YOU SUCK), but heard it was even more of a nail-biter.

Score: 7-6(7-2) 7-6(7-4). Um, yikes. O.o

"Rafa’s forehand was off tonight and he seems emotionally low and out of sorts at times." --NadalNews. That hurts my chest just reading. Oh, Rafa. I hope this is just him being his usual hard on himself and his game thing, and not something personal we don't know about.

Now we just need Rafa to get through his quarterfinal with Del Potro today.

One step closer to a Fedal final!

*fist pump*

They've been playing the night matches on Tennis Channel starting at 7pm EST. So, if you can't catch it on FSN (which I hate because they totally do not understand the concept of extending coverage), you can probably catch it on Tennis Channel.

I KNOW RIGHT. FSN drives me nuts with that. We're doing good to get to the point where the players shake the ref's hand and go to their bags without suddenly switching to another sport. :|

Sadly I don't have the Tennis Channel. Life hard. :(

I cannot stand Djokovic so I hope Roger's curls wipe the floor with him.

Del Potro... I kinda sorta have a soft spot for him. He could be my next Rafa.

I'm fairly certain Roger's curls contain superpowers, so that is a possible outcome. ;D

I don't know much about DP, but he seems like a nice guy. ;)
