1 Rafael Nadal d 10 Mardy Fish - 63 64 57 64
Rafa moves into his 5th straight Sf: 4-0 & his 16th trip to a Slam Sf: 12-3.
He is the 2nd youngest (by two days) to reach 16 Slam Sf's - after Borg.
Rafa had a little lapse of concentration in the 3rd set before closing it out.
He sets up 2nd straight Sf against Andy Murray: 11-4/RN.

2 Novak Djokovic d Q Bernard Tomic -62 36 63 75
Novak is one match win away for being #1 in the rankings.
I'm very close to reaching the #1, but I try not to think about that too much.
He got a really tough workout from 18 year-old future star Bernie today.
This is Novak's 5th straight Slam Sf & 12th overall.
He will face nemesis Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - H2H: 5-2/JWT.
This should be a great match.

4 Andy Murray d Feliciano Lopez -63 64 64
Yesterday Andy met PGA US Open winner Rory McIlroy with John McEnroe.
This is Andy's 3rd straight trip to the Wimbledon Sf: 0-2.
Andy is the only Sf'ist yet to drop a set.
Andy is in the final 4 again - one of these days he'll be the last one standing.
Just have to go out there and play well and serve well...
And believe and I'll have a chance.

12 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga d 3 Roger Federer - 36 67(3) 64 64 64
Jo-Willy came up with the win of his lifetime.
This is his 3rd Slam Sf: 1-1.
This is the 3rd time Roger lost with a 2 set lead - 1st time at a Slam.
Jo-W: The feeling is like maybe beating Nadal in Roland Garros...
So it's just amazing. And for me it will be, for sure...
One of the best memories in my career anyway.

Andy Murray into 3rd Round at Roland Garros even with Lower Back Drama
Roland Garros - Men's Second Round
4 Andy Murray d Jarkko Nieminen - 16 64 61 62
Strange match. In the 1set Andy could bare move.
He was dinking his serve in and going for broke early in points.
The trainer came out and then the back loosen up enough to roll.
He said he was a couple points from pulling the plug at on point.
After the match Andy tweeted:
Thanks to everyone that supported me through a really tough day today.
#alwaysbelieve
With Wimby & the London Olympics on the horizon what will he do?
Carry on or get better for Great Britain's sake.
Decisions. Decisions.
