How badly do you think Roger Federer wanted this win?
The Swiss styist avenged his heartbreaking 2004 Athens loss today defeating Tomas Berdych 6-3, 7-6 (4) to make the quarterfinals in Beijing. Fed's quarterfinal opponent will be American James Blake who defeated Frenchie baller Gilles Simon 6-4, 6-2.
Apparently, he traded his tearful 'o4 cry for an emphatic '08 "Yes!" after hitting a service winner on match point.
This tourney is gettin' good people!

He kind of scares me a little when he makes that face...
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or he's been especially sweaty here in Beijing? He's soaking wet in every picture I've seen of him at the Olympics, lol. Must be the crazy humidity...
ReplyDeleteb2012: he'll need to scare the crap out of either Rafa or Nole to get the gold.
ReplyDeletekakeru: yes it's like 100% humidity there...just nasty
