Federer vs David Goffin going on. Fed leading 2 sets to nada.

 

Ashleigh Barty knocked out again in straight sets. She managed to get 9 break points and couldn't convert even one of them. Sad. Couldn't win Wimbledon and now this. Hope she gets back strong in the AO next year.

Will miss the Nadal match since it's at 4:30AM IST. Damn, how I hate these opposite time zone differences sometimes!!

 

Djokovic lost first two sets to Wawrinka and then had to retire due to his left shoulder injury. :samui:

 

Federer faces Grigor Dimitrov next in the QF's.

Fed takes a medical time out. Comes back and drops his service game, oops! There's something bothering him, medically.

 

Edit: Oh boy... Fed gets broken again! Dimitrov up 3-0 now in the final set. This is going to be incredibly hard for Fed to come back from this point.

Grigor Dimitrov does the unthinkable... defeats Roger Federer in 5 sets!

 

That final set was a short affair really, Fed just wasn't in it. Medically he looked out of sorts. A total of 61 Unforced Errors for him, that doesn't happen a lot.

 

Great match but yeah, Federer started struggling in the 4th set and was pretty much physically done in the 5th. Age is catching up real fast. Hopefully Dimitrov goes on to win now.

Yeah, easy win coming for Nadal and Williams. 

 

Disappointing that Fed lost but massive props to winners (soon) to remain on top of their levels even after a long time. 

 

Yup, also Djoko losing out due to his bad shoulder was another dampener.

 

Full props to Nadal, in spite of his consistent hand muscle cramps he continues to wade through and play so well. Id Medvedev can push him to a 5-setter then maybe he can pull off a win but I doubt it. It's Nadal all the way now.
