Well done Clement, your the man (and darn entertaining to watch).
No real suprise that Youhzny took down Berdych and Seppi, though it was an underdog pick. I’d even look for him to get past his next round of Llodra or Mathieu.
Lopez clearly (in my mind) has the toughest draw of the tournament and moves past two VERY capable players… He’s got the talent but never seems to put it together for long. It’d be nice to see him have a break through and take out Tsonga in the next round, but I don’t see it happening.
Djokovic on the other hand should have a cake walk into the semi’s.
