Fed beats Monfils in straight sets. Its semis for him. He plays the winner of Soderling/Gonzalez.

Could this be the one that completes "The Slam" for Fed?

Gonzalez is just not that good. Amazing how that guy gets as far as he does. That's a guy getting quite a bit out of the potential he was given. Soderling should beat him, and Federer, but (realistically) he will probably get to choking. Federer is pretty good at getting inexperienced players to choke really hard(Monfils etc.) That's especially true in a final match. Don't know anything about the guy Feds gunna play in the semi(assuming Robredo did lose that quarter final match.)

Yes, Potro ended up blasting Robredo in straight sets. What a demolition that was. Now he faces Federer, and as you would imagine, is 0-5 against Fed.

Federer has now reached 20 straight semifinals in Grand Slams. Thats very impressive, considering hes gone down 0-2 in sets more than a couple of times during this stretch.

Del Potro routinely laying down in the semi or quarters against any top player. Couldn't get a set off Federer in the Australian or at Madrid. Fed is all about intimidation, confidence, n' fear. He shouldn't fear Del Potro. Should be ugly. Finals should be Federer /Sorderling. He can beat Federer if he continues to play well, but you've got to think the nerves are going to come. Federer is especially good at getting them to choke. Reminds me of the way a member of the "in crowd" in High School treats someone who is of a "lesser" status. Can tell ya one thing. If Federer wins it, the guy is gunna cry like he lost a family member.

Quick trivia question for you Scuds...if Federer does win this, he'll have won all 4 majors. Who was the last player to accomplish this feat?
