    Does anyone think that Roddick stands a chance if his game is on? I can't imagine being able to handle a 150 mph serve from Roddick, then again I am not the world's number 1. What does everyone think? And what are your predicitons for the final (now that Nadal is out)?

    I was rooting for Roddick. Now that he's out, I'm going for Davydenko in the semi-final.


    Too bad Mike and Bob are out as well.

    I think Federer can do a better job of marketing himself. People are taking notice of his accomplishments more due to the Tiger Woods comparison than anything he did to get his own name out there...

    Roddick tried hard and played well for 2 sets, but he still couldn't get it done.

    I think Djokovic is the only other player that has any chance to beat Federer for the title, but I feel that is even a long shot.

    I was very impressed with Roddick and routing for him the whole time, but I never really expected him to win.

    I am interested to see if Ferrer can continue to play the way he did against Nadal the other night. He could be a continder. I have to admit, the level of tennis I have seen at this event seems to be much higher than at many of the other slams I have seen.

    I agree. The level of play at this years US open has been tremendous.

    this Djokovic match is making me realize how special what we saw last night was. Not nearly the same level.

    ....haha...he lost LAST night to Federer.

    So in the semi finals that leaves Federer vs Davydanko and Ferrer Vs Djokovic

    What does everyone think? I have been a little unimpressed with Djokovic this tournement, so hopefully he finds his game if he makes it to the finals

    The match last night was not nearly as entertaining as Federer/Roddick the night before. At this point, I just hope that someone can take a set from Federer. He has been playing great. Djokovic did beat Federer a few weeks ago, so he is capable, but you're right, he hasn't been playing as well this tournament. Plus, Roger will be out for revenge if those two meet in the finals.

    I think the Djokovic/Ferrer match will be the one to watch.

    So Federer won again..what a shock...even though Djokovic had every oppurtunity to win this one. I guess nerves can humble any player.
