Apparently John McEnroe cried while interviewing Federer.

John McEnroe busts out the "thank you man" hug for Roger - I'm having problems believing I actually witnessed that just now...

Federer has had more chances but has blown all of them. He is down 2 sets to 0. The rain-delay has postponed what I now think will be a straight set Nadal victory.

Quoted: C'mon Federer how many breakpoint chances are you going to NOT take advantage of?

My sentimental favorite is Safin. But, even though he won today and was playing well most of the time, I don't think he has enough consistency to beat Federer or Nadal.

Quoted: Marat Safin continued to defy his lowly ranking of 75 in the world to set up an intriguing semi-final clash against Roger Federer, the champion who for so long has held the "world's best player" status that was once the proud preserve of the Russian.

I would like to see Safin make it deep in the second week. He's always had the talent and the game...just not enough consistency.

Quoted: The former world number one Marat Safin won through to his first Grand Slam fourth round in almost two years this evening. In near-darkness on No.1 Court, the man who beat Novak Djokovic built on that success with a thrilling win over the No. 29 seed Andreas Seppi 7-6 (7-5), 3-6, 7-6 (7-3), 6-4. He will face Stanislas Wawrinka in the last 16.

This was definitely upset day at Wimbledon -- with Roddick, Sharapova, James Blake, and Sania Mirza all crashing out.

Quoted: Andy Roddick suffered his worst ever defeat at Wimbledon, bounced out of the second round 6-7, 7-5, 6-4, 7-6 by Janko Tipsarevic, the world No. 40, from Serbia.

This was one of the best matches I've seen in a long time. Nadal had chances to put Federer away and honestly looked like the stronger player at times.

Quoted: In a breathtaking fifth set Nadal, who had undergone treatment to his right knee towards the end of the previous set, twice held two break points. If he had cashed in on either occasion surely he would have toppled the champion.

This was one of the most exciting tennis days in awhile.
a) Roddick loses in fives sets after leading by two seats and a break.
b) Federer loses a set! But, he still wins obviously.
c) Justine Henin loses.
d) Djokovic, who is all of 20 years old, beats the charismatic Baghdatis in a five-hour marathon. Djokovic has proven he's worthy of his #4 seeding. He thinks he'll be #1 someday soon.

Quoted: WIMBLEDON, England -- Five things we learned during a memorable day of tennis on Friday:

Wow, 13-11 in the final set. Good to see Henman pull through. Don't think he has too many years left.

Quoted: Tim Henman survived a battle of wills at Wimbledon on Tuesday, completing an epic 6-3 1-6 5-7 6-2 13-11 victory over Spain's Carlo Moya.The dramatic first round dual was interrupted by bad light
