Well done Kei. As much as I'm a Novak fan I'm glad to see Kei win here. Its a fantastic result for tennis to see different players come through. I'm not to sure now if I want Roger to win as it would be so emotional to see Kei win the whole thing. I might support him who knows. I'll decide Mon.
Obviously I'm gutted for Nole BUT he has already won Wimbledon this year and made it back to being the world number one. :cool: I wasn't expecting him to win this years Us Open what with all the emotional rollercoasters in his life at the moment, it would be hard to fully focus on tennis with everything that is happening personally for him. He will clearly have many more chances to win a slam so its not that much of a big deal imo.
Roger of course doesn't have as many chances to make even more history so I REALLY REALLY want to see him win the US Open and get another slam in the bag. I have everything crossed for him to go all the way.
Sad for Novak but he just wasn't good enough today and it's a great opportunity for Kei. Plus, it means if Roger gets to the final, his chances of 18 are much better :
Seriously? Roger's best now is still better than Kei's best
Not at all - take nothing for granted. On paper Djokovic was to win this in three straight sets, there is still room for Federer to lose - whoever plays in the final it's for sure going to be exciting to watch and see who the better player is on the day.

Of course Kei could beat him, but Roger at his best would win. That's what I meant
For the record, the last Grand Slam final without one of Federer, Nadal, Djokovic or Murray in it was Safin-Hewitt at the 2005 Australian.
How crazy is that?!! just goes to show how consistent those 4 players have been for so long! I'd love Cilic to get through to see another player win a GS title

Of course, but at this point it's the case

Really, great result, but I thought it was quite an ordinary match.
Anyway well done Kei, hope you can win it now.
I found it tense & quite exciting. Doesn't take much
I am a Novak fan but fair okay he was (pun) outplayed.

He better not loses to Cilic!

I agree, all year Fed has proven to be better than Kei, in most Tournaments.

He's up to #8 now. #5 if he wins the title.

Also congratulations to Martina Navratilova who announced that she is engaged.
How crazy is that?!!
