This whole Slam terminology is quite confusing. Win one and it should be called a Slam, win all 4 in a year; it's a Grand Slam. Win 14 and it's 14 career Slams.

That's Roddick out, beaten by Isner, the 6ft 9 giant. That's the first major upset on the men's side.
There's David O'Leary and big Willie Young, sending Rixy and Stapleton off on a run

Pasting is putting it lightly.

Bagel!

You can't say that - racism. ;)

Murray fairly got his backside whipped by Cilic. That was a surprise. I was looking forward to another Murray-Nadal semi-final.

Soderling will be looking to change his luck against Federer.

It's great to see Clijsters back on the tour and winning matches, although her success after being so long out calls into question the quality of the women's game. But anyone who can stand up to the Williams sisters is very welcome.
