Comeback & Shocker

Ana Ivanovic sure gave me a scare last night when she went down 0-6 in the first set against Daniela Hantuchova. She started off the 2nd set by going down further, 0-2 and putting herself in danger of an embarrassing shutout. This didn't look like the same Ivanovic that took out the top seed! But she didn't give in and came back to win the 2nd set 6-3. Then she took the 3rd 6-4. I do feel bad for Hantuchova though. She just couldn't close it out. It must bring back memories of last year's Wimbledon when she couldn't close out the one-legged Serena Williams. I'm happy and excited for Ana. She earns a trip to the finals and I get to watch two of my favorites go at it.

The shocker was on the Men's side with Rafael Nadal going down in straight sets to Jo-Wlfried Tsonga, 6-2 6-3 6-2. Tsonga was just returning everything Nadal threw at him with great acrobatic defense. Not only the victory was surprising, but the length of the match... 1 hour & 57 minutes. That ended hopes of continuing the Federer vs. Nadal saga for this tournament.
