That'd be funny if it happened. At the very least I hope Roddick gives Murray a run for the money.

the women's game needs Sharapova to get fully into shape, and it needs Clijsters and Henin to both return. Hopefully Dementieva can continue playing at the level she was at today.
Overall -- while the upsets can be fun, it's actually better when the best players reach the semifinals -- it sets up some great matchups -- Roddick vs Murray could be a classic -- and Haas has somehow raised his game to a new level at the advanced age of 31 and he was up 2 sets on Federer at the French Open before losing.
