Fed served for the match up 5-4 in the 3rd set, couldn't get it done. Was up 6-4 in the breaker and serving and Murray was just bombing shots in. On to a 4th!

This could be his best chance at a final Major. Having to get through Nadal without having to go through Joker as well in the championship. Usually you have to beat them in back to back matches.

I'm rooting for Fed/Wawrinka

Nadal looked a bit tested in the quarters so may be new Fed can take him.

Think I'd pull for Stan in the final over Fed/Nadal. Those dudes have won enough.

Pretty crazy that if Nadal wins it all that he will tie Samprass with 14 majors and only will be 3 back from Roger.

there was one point in he second set that Fed ripped a 94 mph backhand and Nadal just calmly took a step toward it, and lifted a forehand down the line for a winner. it was at that point that it i knew nadal was going to win.
