Muller


While it may seem a little hard to get worked up for a match between Roger and a qualifier named Muller, it was an awful lot of fun to see Roger completely into his five-setter in the fourth round. Roger's fist-clenched screams of joy after getting a break in the fifth, and again after match point, were welcome after some desultory losses since wimbledon. He wants this tournament badly. The points are at about 4:20 and 8:20 in this clip (watch in high quality).

Is it me or it looked like Djokovic did not even try to have a come back in the 4th set against Rog?

There needs to be a Rafa Roger rematch.

Fuzzy and friends: When did some annoying behavior has started between points? I refer to picking up the towel after every single point, and, even worst, asking for 3 balls to choose from?

Yes, I thought Djokovic did quit at the end. he seems to do it a lot when he is down, and tends to play hopeless drop shots on match point (which Nadal also did against Murray). It annoys me about him.

and the towel after every point is annoying too. roddick plays fast. its one thing i like about him.
