Nadal is down, Djoker cruises again, Ivan Dodig is a giant killer

It's Ivan Dodig, remember it
I was able to catch most of the Nadal match but I missed the beginning since I thought the rainout was still on and was watching Sharapova dismatle her 2nd round opponent, what'sherface. I gotta say, I'm really having a blast watching all this tennis. Just wish this rain would go away so i can actually see the matches i wanna see.

Nadal gets served!!!
First I wanna say that Ivan Dodig is my new hero and whatever happens from here on out, he's a giant killer and a prince among men. Nadal seemed to have lost his intimidation factor and Dodig seemed to never believe it was impossible to beat him. He kept chugging along and toppled the capris wearing, wedgie picking wonder. You're welcome says Djoker. Nadal drops a steamer and hopefully more players start to jump on this formula for beating the wedgie wonder.


Djoker Advances

After coming out rusty, and I mean real rusty, Djoker gathered himself and took out Davy. I mean Davydenko is no pushover but Djoker looked rustier than the tinman before Dorothy. Luckily he didn't look as rusty as Rafa. Then, Djoker dismisses Marin Cilic. Cilic hung in tough for the first set but, like he often does Djokovic stepped on the accelerator for the second set and tore him a new one. His serve seemed smooth, his shots seem deep and powerful, and he's got his big hooking forehand going a little. Just looks like Federer is standing in his way out of the major seeds. I don't wanna count my chickens before they hatch though.


Petkovic
Andrea Petkovic advances again against the Wimby Champ Kvitova. Could we be in store for a championship Petkovic dance? I hope so. So far my prediction is holding.
