Del Potro has the look. He is focused and ready to win this tournament. I like it.
5th set for Dolgo and Bernie. This is Dolgopolov's 3rd straight maximum match. This is what separates a Grand Slam from all the other events!
Tomic has such a flat and unusual forehand, but since he hits through it so well, his direction is amazing. He also seems to be able to pick up any shot off the baseline with a little stab. The slice backhand rallies from earlier in the match are still cropping up, though Dolgopolov seems less and less interested in them. What a strange match of pace and paceless shots, you just can't tell what ball will come over the net next. The home country hero marches on the play Federer next though. That should be an entertaining match. I expect Fed will have an epic day for shot-making against this guy. Hopefully it turn into a competitive battle of one-upsmanship for the hearts of the crowd.
(Fed is so popular that 55% of a Tennis Channel poll picks him to win the tournament. Djoker 30%, Nadal 12%.)
