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?

One of the most helpful articles I've found regarding the forehand. The best part is that they actually have photos for left-handers!

Quoted: The SemiWestern Forehand Grip
...
This is another solid forehand grip. It places a bit of the palm under the racquet's handle. This makes the pressure on wrist strength minimal. It is a great grip for hitting flatly or with topspin. Slice is not recommended with this grip. It is the most common forehand grip in the modern game...it is the one that I prefer. When I teach players who are new to the game, I always teach the semiwestern grip. Agassi is one who prefers the semiwestern forehand.

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.

He will face Stanislas Wawrinka in the last 16.
