Wimbledon quarterfinals!

Amazing round of 16 today! Few real surprises, but they were shocking. First of all, here's the men's and women's tables in the quarterfinals:

Lisicki-Kanepi
Radwanska-Li
Stephens-Bartoli
Kvitova-Flipkens

Surprised to see Lisicki here instead of Serena? I sure am! I thought it would be little more than a walkover, and for a while there it was, but then Sabine dug deep and pulled through (more on that later). I had also expected the Li-Vinci match in the R16 to be far more contested than it was, so hopefully the Radwanska-Li match here will be a lot better: on paper, that and Stephens-Bartoli are the ones to really look forward to. I am a big fan of Marion, but if Sloane goes through it will be quite amazing: three consecutive quarterfinals in her first three Major tournaments, all this year. Not bad at all.

Djokovic-Berdych
Ferrer-Del Potro
Kubot-Janowicz
Verdasco-Murray

This is where Federer-Nadal "should" have been. In its place, instead, is the first-ever all-Pole match in any official tournament. The top half is also crowded, with the repeat of the 2010 semi where Berdych destroyed Djokovic and what I believe to be one of the most entertaining meetings in modern tennis: Ferrer-Del Potro. While I still predict a Murray-Djokovic final, this is going to get quite interesting!
