1. Roland Garros 4th Round – Robin Soderling d Rafael Nadal 6-2, 6-7(2), 6-4, 7-6(2)

2. US Open final – Juan Martin del Potro d Roger Federer 3-6, 7-6(5), 4-6, 7-6(4), 6-2

3. US Open 4th Round – Marin Cilic d Andy Murray 7-5, 6-2, 6-2

4. Roland Garros 3rd Round, Philipp Kohlschreiber d. Novak Djokovic 6-4, 6-4, 6-4

5. Rogers Cup quarter-finals, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga d. Roger Federer 7-6(5), 1-6, 7-6(3)

I agree with #1 and #2. I'm not as sure about the others.

Even though I picked Murray to win the USO, I was still less surprised by his loss to Cilic than I was by his loss to Verdasco at the AO. I think Cilic was more known as a threat to top players as well.

Davydenko over Federer was a massive upset.

I don't know if Kohlschreiber/Djokovic should be there, particularly in the context of Novak's confidence at the time. Also, he was unfairly getting zero press as a favorite or even contender, so it seems like an upset was expected there.
