Nole

Good evening. Once more it's time to ease the pressure on the earlier, overloaded Crisis Center. Please continue discussing the day's tennis here. As always, we'd appreciate it if you could save your off-topic conversations until after the matches have ended.

So far today, Elena Dementieva has progressed to the semifinals over Patty Schnyder, and Novak Djokovic has survived an eventful five-set tussle with Tommy Robredo. At the time of writing, Gilles Muller leads number four seed Nikolay Davydenko by two sets to one over on Armstrong Stadium, with the score at 5-5 in the fourth - Muller, in the previous game, having saved set points. On Ashe Stadium, Igor Andreev has taken the first set against Roger Federer, with the second set so far going with serve.

As day moves into evening, enjoy the rest of the tennis.
