Djokovic was in total control taking the first two sets and breaking Roddick numerous times. Roddick appears to have found his serve and has really gotten in a groove here. He won the 3rd set and is up a break in the 4th. This one could be going 5!

Well that sucked, after being up 30-0 and two points from a 5th set Roddick throws in a few double faults and winds up getting broke and then loses in a tie breaker, Doh!

I was really pulling for Roddick in this one (sorry, TyCobb :)) but to make it to the quarters and lose to Novak is still pretty good. We seriously need an American man to get back into the top tier again, though.

I was surprised Roddick made it so far. He should consider this a success with his current abilities.
I am pulling for Federer, but the past few matches he hasn't look that great. Nadal has been playing great all year. I may actually bet Murray upsets him.
I love the Djokovic v Fed match up because they hate each other. My bracket has a Djokovic v Nadal final with Djokovic winning it, but deep down I want Fed to win it all. Even though that will cost me wings (me and my friend fill out brackets for these tournments and use the NCAA scoring. Loser buys the wings and beers.)

I blame this on John McEnroe as Roddick was serving for the set and was up either 30-0, or 30-15 he made some comment about 5 set matches and the other guy was like, let's not say that yet and then look at what happened
