Moving close to the climax

Ten days into the tournament now.Semifinalists are spotted for the ladies and the last-8 in the mens.There are no surprises so far in the mens section but we have a few in the womens.

How many would have bet on Venus to reach this far and to add she looks like the one to go all the way.Venus always had that inconsistency and injury breaks,more so in recent times,but has come back quite well and taken everyone by surprise here.Her opponents now feel that old Williams intimidation factor.Going by the form,it looks like a henin-venus final, a very interesting one to look forward to.

Intimidation factor in mens tennis;you know who i am talking about.As usual, Federer has moved on.He would face carlos 'mosquito' ferraro in the quarterfinals,most likely to meet Roddick in the semis and may be (!) Nadal in the Finals.

I really pity Roddick.But for Federar and Nadal,he would have won quite a few grandslams already.Nadal stops him in clay and federer elsewhere.It must be really frustrating for him and he can only hope to pass these hurdles sometime in near future. Wish him luck!
