Gawd I love him.

I will send James every ounce of positive chi I have tonight….he’ll need it to beat Federer.

Now that Nadal is out, James is all I have….well Tommy Haas and Roddick too, but James is where my heart is.

WOW what a tough match tonight..most of you probably know by now that Roger won, but it got really close through parts of the match.
Final score:
7-6 (Roger got thru the tie-breaker pretty easily)
6-0 (Bad set for James)
6-7 (Ahhh tables are turning..James got this tie-breaker, REALLY close though. Federer actually had the chance to serve out for the match, but he COULDN’T close it out. One of the frustrations I had with Roger tonight – he had many opportunities for set point, break point, even match point, and he missed most of them.
6-4 (It started out as 5-1, Roger had the chance to serve out for the match [AGAIN] and he couldn’t do it. James ended up winning 3 games in a row, Roger was finally able to serve out the match at 5-4.)

Overall, there were a LOT of great shots from both Roger and James. Although I was rooting for Federer the entire time (sorry, he’s my #1 favorite, even though i live in America >.<), I thought Blake did a really good job. He’s played 4 matches against Federer, 5 counting this one, and he’s lost them all; BUT he did finally win his first set against Federer in this match.

Next up: Federer vs. Davydenko in the semi’s
Roddick vs. Youzhnev in the semi’s
^I’m rooting for a Federer / Roddick final. I know it’s happened before, but with the way Andy’s serving and playing these days, I think Roger’s going to have a big challenge w/ that match. As much as I love Roger, I think it’d be great to see Andy win a huge tournament like this, after such a long dry spell the last few years.
