Hard to believe we're at the quarterfinals already!

[Nypbscao]

I know! And we've had some really great matches already, including ones worthy of final/semifinal. Should be good quarters too. I don't foresee any blowouts except for Serena-Caro. I'm surprised that Kei made it through though. I guess he was having a great day and Ferrer a mediocre one.

[ViagraFeller]

Azarenka has come out absolutely on fire. Both players are murdering the ball, but Azarenka takes the ball earlier, which is working out better on this surface.

She went up a quick break and is serving at 4-2 but went on a small walkabout to fall to 0-40. Can she climb out?

[jagxj12]

Not imediately, but it's a good match.

On court one Murray is winning without any difficulty. Probably the easiest part of his draw.

[RalfDweflywex]

Totally missed Kei winning yesterday.

Awesome result thus far. I thought he had an okay chance at Ferrer, but he'll have less of a chance today, I think. But how wild would it be to have him in the semis with a (super remote) chance at a medal?

Almagro seemed quite in pain

[jagxj12]

Almagro seemed quite in pain

That explains the scoreline. Not that he would have much of a chance even if healthy... I have only Vika's match on TV at the moment.

[Nypbscao]

Almagro seemed quite in pain

Really? An injury would explain why he got crushed in the second set. I expected a healthy Almagro to lose to Murray 6-4 6-4.

[fuesquemill]

I'll bet Del Potro felt better about his chances when Kei won.

Interesting that Goerges and Lisicki went for the German flag on their dresses. Kerber has the shield/emblem/crest. OK, when I say 'interesting' I may be overselling it a tad.

[fuesquemill]

Really? An injury would explain why he got crushed in the second set. I expected a healthy Almagro to lose to Murray 6-4 6-4.

Appeared to be some kind of a shoulder injury. Had it been a regular tour match then I think he might have retired.

[fuesquemill]

Wasn't watching until into the second set. Kerber can't have had many straightforward services games. Hard to keep fighting off that sort of pressure. Smothering consistency from Victoria.

[Nypbscao]

And Azarenka is through in straights. She looked very good out there. Could give Serena a serious fight. Also, thumbs up to Kerber for fighting as hard as she could even facing match points.

[Peabelilt]

Man. Serena is determined. She is stomping through this tournament.

[Fuerfsanv]

Serena only lost 2 points on serve that first set. Sheesh!

[QuidQuoPro]

Man. Serena is determined. She is stomping through this tournament.

I totally didn't expect a 6-0 set. She did get a little help from Caro, but she's been playing well and handling the wind.

[QuidQuoPro]

That BP saved had everything!

[fuesquemill]

Kirilenko wins the first set on the tiebreak. Not a lot in it (no break points at all, which is odd in a Petra match). Kirilenko is hardly making any unforced errors and her second serve is holding up well.

There aren't that many people on court 2 but they are making a good amount of noise.

[Peabelilt]

Petra's ROS is nonexistent today. Being a Petra fan sucks.

[JulieSmithdccd]

Another good thing about watching in Canada...we have a second language of channels to watch (I can only find Djokovic-Tsonga on RDS-2 our French TSN)
