Two of my four favorites are still in. Amelie went out yesterday, and Patty went out this morning. It's also nice to see Flavia Pennetta get to the quarterfinal round. I think that--on the women's side--the title is really up for grabs. I didn't give Venus much of a chance coming in, but now she is definitely a contender, as is Serena--as always. Dementieva has her best chance ever. Safina is physically exhausted, and therefore vulnerable; Jankovic is
always exhausted these days.
I think the men's title is more up for grabs that it might appear. The big 3 are top contenders, but you have to keep your eyes on Roddick, Murray and Del Potro.
We go home tomorrow morning, which means I'll miss half a day's coverage, damn it, and there is a chance our cable service won't be restored by then. I'll probably just live at the restaurants down the street who have satellite TV.
Djokovic is playing Robredo--who has suddenly returned to his old level of play--right now. This could go to five sets, I think.
