Well at least Andy plays the beaten man and Fed still has to do something to qualify. Don't see soderling beating him in straights. PLEASE let Andy show up on Thursday! Is it def gonna be the afternoon. Are we gonna be hanging on watching again? And more importantly, I'm gonna be forced to cheer for smug face?

Ah well. All down to Thursday then? Come on Ferrer! Cause otherwise it seems like a pretty tough one. Good thing is if this does end up the final he rarely plays badly against Fed twice in a row...

Of course he does! He's 5/13 against Andy and 0/2 for the last 6 months. He'd be an idiot not to.

It's funny. I was away for a good while too with the occassional lurk around the news thread the only thing I really did and I found I didn't really miss it till I came back. Relying on you guys to work the number crunching though. I don't think i'll ever go back to that.

They believe preventing a conception is a form of abortion. If God wants the life to exist then the woman will concieve, if not she won't. It's why Catholics have so many kids. Against contraception. If there was such a thing that prevented STD's but wasn't a contraceptive I'm sure they'd be all for it.

He's gonna win it and leapfrog them both!

Apparently that honour belongs to Ross Hutchins, which might have something to do with the fact jamie and Colin have done it all before as teenagers pre fleming's Uni break.

'I mean yeah, Cameron debated great today, but um, you know, his party still screwed my country, FREEEEEEDOM'.

I also think you've got to recognise that he kind of took more of an off season in the time between Wimbledon and Canada. He seems to treat that more as his time off than now cause he knows he's got to get himself ready for the heat.

I think saphire is a beautiful stone. Very expensive looking. That ring is completely stunning. I can only dream I'd ever have a ring like that!

Very James Bond.

That's actually hilarious! How oversensitive can people be!

Whoever the BBC wants so it should be Murray, but if the other semi is Federer v Nadal they'll have a tricky decision to make.

So it's TV dictated. I have evening semi and finals tickets. Hoping to see Andy. You think really only a Fed Nadal could spoil my dream?

Edit: Oh, that's assuming Andy gets that far!

I do believe we'll see a different Andy next week. he has a point to prove. And he does tend to bring it against the best.

The crowd will be a huge factor if he uses them well. If he ignores them too much, like he did last year, they'll pick a new favourite. Last year here he was having girl trouble so here's hoping he's in a better place. He says he needs court time for confidence and he's had that lately so fingers crossed. Only thing I think could be an issue would be the wrist. Hope he's not playing down a bigger problem like he has been known to do...
