The Russian won a extraordinary 5-set match against the Spaniard Fernando Verdasco last night./ b$ D3 e3 X) _4 s9 R
For me, his next quarter final match with Roger Federer will decide who is this year's champion, it is the actual championship match.6 Z: S( M! B. |% D' K+ p4 d+ ^

. E3 v: u0 m. n; G: v Personally I do not like him, you can not find a flaw but there isnt any passion in his game. You should call him a robot, evertyhing is settled, programmed and manufactured. It is just a process, an iron man on the court.) k; H4 {0 R' y. ?- {( t

Verdasco is playing the style I like the most, full of passion, and improvised shots. This make tennis such an enjoyable sport to watch. I still remember the last year match between him and Nadal.

The Spaniards are either bulls or the bull fighters, they fight to the end.9 [; k. e& h/ t9 S }* `( Z
Verdasco lost the match due to too many unforce errors and double faults. " t, ^ x6 J9 u
But he still fought all the way to the end, that is heroic.$ R0 L9 G8 X. O- N
That is the spirit of tennis.
