    Looks like Bull used all tactics to win this match (Coaching violation/time violation/)!! Was there a Medical Timeout also??

    Federer's net movements and serves were the weapons against Tsonga. I still find his single handed back end ugly. Most of the time, no beauty at all. Compare it with fellow Wawrinka. Pond Vs Ocean.

    Federer cruises past Tsonga into last eight

    He did so in such an elegantly complete manner that his game looked even better at times than when he had been at his best.

    Nishikori pushes Nadal all the way, but Spaniard prevails

    Insanity, said Einstein, is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, except in tennis, in which doing the same thing over and over is the way to gaining better results, incrementally. It has been one of the motifs of Nadal's grand career. Look at his peers and their mentors: Djokovic/Becker, Federer/Edberg, Murray/Lendl. Nishikori's is Michael Chang, a one-time major winner. Nadal's is uncle Tony, and always has been.

    double handed backhand is yucky. I really do not know how people tolerate it and still watch tennis. For women's tennis double handed backhand is okay because I don't watch them.

    we are not talking about different style. That comparison is about skill level within single handed back end itself. Any style.. You need to dominate in a way that you question your opponent. Just keep on answering that too as a kid level display is ugly. Look at the way Stan positioning himself in every back hand and how he releases his energy completely.
