Last pick Raiders? Btw you missed a joker yesterday.

Looks like ladies are also getting older:
Serena-33
Vinci-32
Panetta-33

That aside, can anyone stop Serena?

Please.

Both women's SFs moved to Friday:
Organisers need to be careful with scheduling, esp men's matches which are best of 5.

===================================


I   the rain!

really annoying to see they put the 34yo match last.

I doubt matches will finish tomorrow...they need to shift women to Armstrong.

But imagine the politically correct outcry!

Won't the rain seriously slow down the surface? Or are they properly covered?

Your daily whine.

Forecast is quite ok for tomorrow. I expect they will all finish. Early on in the tournament, they usually play 5 matches per day on Ashe - 2 men's singles and three more best of 3 matches. Tomorrow they have planned less than that and they are starting the usual 11am time. Unless weather is far worse then predicted they should be ok.

I think once they dry up it does not make much difference whether or not it rained - this is not clay or grass so much less impact.

I know it is bad scheduling but I am actually quite happy because it means I will get to see Fed vs Stan and maybe even some of Nole vs Cilic.

Yugoslavian - Swiss final.

Not biting!

Does anyone dare predict men's SFs?

I mean can anything crazy happen?

Realistically crazy at least?

I actually look and don't look forward to the matches.

I expect Noke amd Fed to win.

But what I really, really want is for Fed to be fresh in the final.

Not the Wimbledon 2015 scenario. Please.

I really don't know. On the day anything can happen though I expect Fed to win here.

Cilic can take Djoko out. His serving and mental strength is going to be key.
