Lopez upsets Soderling, otherwise as planned


(1) Nadal def. Lubicic 3-6 6-3 0-0 ret. This was close prior to Lubicic's retirement and isn't a good sign for Nadal. However, in a stroke of luck, he will play Feliciano Lopez rather than Robin Soderling (see below)

Lopez def. (9) Soderling 7-6(4) 6-3 Lopez is having such a great tournament, but how many people are giving him higher odds against Nadal? Still, Soderling was a huge win, though it was done by running him to death, which won't be an issue for Rafa.

OTHER HALF:
(2) Djokovic def. (8) Simon 6-3 3-6 6-2 How strange is it that the only non-3 set match was the upset? Weird scoreline but a win's a win.

(6) Davydenko def. (13) Stepanek 6-1 3-6 6-1
An even stranger scoreline and I can really see this being tighter than the other semi by quite a bit. This one is the nailbiter. The winner has a good chance of winning the whole thing.

TONIGHT:
(1) Nadal-ESP vs Lopez-ESP
(2) Djokovic-SRB vs (6) Davydenko- RUS
