US Open men's round of 16

The men's eighth-finals (better known as round of 16 in American sports-speak) will be underway today at Flushing Meadows. We've had some shockers, including Phillip Kolschreiber's win yesterday in the wee hours of the morning following John Isner's semi-meltdown against a seemingly incompetent line judge... Serena 2009 anyone? Both Isner and Serena were dead wrong, by the way: just irascible.

Below is the table. Official draws here and printable here.

FEDERER'S QUARTER

Federer (1) - Fish (23)

Almagro (11) - Berdych (6)

MURRAY'S QUARTER

Murray (3) - Raonic (15)

Cilic (12) - Klizan

FERRER'S QUARTER

Tipsarevic (8) - Kolschreiber (19)

Gasquet (13) - Ferrer (4)

DJOKOVIC'S QUARTER

Del Potro (7) - Roddick (20)

Wawrinka (18) - Djokovic (2)

I think the players in green will advance, meaning that Roddick's fortuitous run at his last-ever tournament will end at the hand of the large Argentinian, who has been playing very well this year and especially well this past week. So, save for major surprises, we will once again see the top four seeds in the semis. Nadal isn't here but the story stays the same.
