    Agree that both Berdych & Murray doesn't look like a threat on paper as Fed has been able to win over them comfortably in their last few meetings. Fed needs to keep all his matches as short as possible leading to SF. However anything can happen if somebody zones in.

    Hope he could play his aggressive all court tennis & results should follow.

    ^ That's true. And if reports are to be believed, Arthur Ashe is faster than last year. That should bode well for Federer

    I got it from Menstennisforum.com...there is a separate thread for the US court speed. Apparently a few players who played the qualifiers talked about it....Not conclusive though

    Sania Mirza conferred with Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award

    President Pranab Mukherjee presented the award to Sania, clad in a maroon saree and blue blazer, amid thunderous applause at the Darbar hall where sports minister Sarbananda Sonowal was among the attendees. Sania became the second tennis player to receive the country's highest sporting honour after Leander Paes...

    Doesn't look any faster than it has been in the last few years or so. But the on going work of building a roof for Ashe has already had the effect of blocking out the wind, apparently. And without the wind to worry about, players will go for their shots a lot more. THAT should help Fed. Wimbledon-like conditions, probably, but unlike grass, this won't wear down by the second Sunday and should still be playing about the same pace as day 1.

    Watching Halep-Erakovic. Ball does seem to go through noticeably faster in the day session. Seen a fair few outright winners already and ball isn't stopping through much after bounce. When I watched the night session earlier today, it looked slower. Maybe it gets humid under the lights.

    It''s definitely slower at nights. Good thing that the semis and the finals are to be played at noon. And it does seem faster this year compared to the previous years.

    First tough test coming up for Nadal. Foginini is not the best on hard courts but he is still a pretty solid player. Nadal struggled to beat Schwartzmann and the final tally doesn't tell the full story, that Diego held breaks/mini breaks in all three sets and still lost. If he gets past Foginini, I would back him to also beat Raonic and line up for the Djoko clash. Can't see him beating Djoko too. Djoko was cruising in his second round match, almost like playing a practice session.
