The Quarterfinals: Half 1




Rafael Nadal def. Tommy Robredo 6-1 6-4 A return to form for Nadal as he easily defeats his teammate. Nadal has Ljubicic next, which could be very easy for Rafa, who by winning vs. Robredo secures the #2 ranking (holds off Djokovic)


Ivan Ljubicic def Gael Monfils 6-2 3-0 ret. Ljubicic has been a giant-killer, taking out Verdasco then Monfils (Who took out Hewitt as the Aussie struggled with injuries) to set up a Nadal match-up.

Lopez def. Melzer 4-6 7-6 (3) 6-1 What a turnaround for Lopez, who was on a string of first-round losses to make the quarters here. Lopez faces near-certain doom in Soderling but still....

Soderling def. Tsonga 6-3 6-3 Who really predicted the higher seed would win here. After Lopez, it's Nadal, which will be interesting to say the least.
