The Russians
Federers ability to start winning tournaments and keep it going is fairly astonishing. Since winning his first title of the year in Madrid hes won 26 of his last 27 matches, including two grand slams and two masters series titles. Federer is definitely back on top of his game.
His victories against Murray and Djokovic last week should aslo boost his confidence and make him the clear favourite to defend his US Open title at the end of the month. Its so weird to think that he could meet the ‘now number 3′ Nadal in the semi’s there.
Elena Dementieva is also playing some of the best tennis of her career. Beating Serena and Sharapova to take home the third title of the year. I really like her style of play and has to be considered one of the top 3 favourites for the US Open, having been a finalist there before.

Roger
Roger Federer takes on the in-form Andy Murray for the 9th time in his career. Surprisingly Murray leads the series 6-2, winning the last 4 matches. I still think Murray is a huge over-achiever. I hate his game.
Murray won the title in Canada last week but I’m expecting this to be a very tough three set match. I pick Federer (as usual) to win. He played Hewitt yesterday and beat him in straight sets but it was an odd match. Seemed like Federer was messing around a bit.
Nadal and Djokovic have an interesting semi-final against eachother. I’d love a good Federer-Nadal final tomorrow. Heres to hoping!
