Oh man, Delpo's first hairdo is as bad as the one Federer had in the beginning :lol

Also, Delpo in 3 or 4
 
Novak is already dominating this match. I can't see him losing to any of the guys left in this tournament the way he is playing right now.
 
Del Potro is gassed, while Djokovic is fresh and in form. I predict 4 sets if Del Potro can find some inner determination, otherwise a straight sweep.
 
Djokovic has been more dominant than Serena in this tournament. #6 and 5th slam in 2 years is on the way.

1st Round def. Lorenzi 6-1 6-0 6-1
2nd Round def. Dutra Silva 6-2 6-1 6-2
3rd Round def. Benneteau 6-3 6-2 6-2
Round of 16 def. (18)Wawrinka 6-4 6-1 3-1. Ret.
 
This is more like it from Del Potro.


Also, is it really THAT bad form to score a point by the ball clipping the net as just happened? The players always look ashamed and apologies to the opponent when it happens.
 
Not if he has another year like 2011 next year

Its' doubtful he will and he would need several of those years. Tennis players fade quickly, Djokovic is already 25 which may seem young but really isn't. Federer started declining in 2007, when he was only 26.

It's not bad form. It's their way of saying "Okay, I hit the net so you didn't get a proper chance to return, sorry about that."

It's more like "Tough luck bro."

It's not bad form to score a point, but I think it's just tennis etiquette to not fist pump and celebrate because there was a great deal of luck involved in that point.
