Stanislas Wawrinka beat Andy Murray in straight sets to make it to the semi-finals. Even when Andy went down to two sets to love. I still thought that he was going to come back and win it in five sets.
However it was not meant to be as Andy had a slow start and his serve was not as potent as it normally is and Andy made a lot of unforced errors.
It was always going to be a tough ask to expect Andy to win both Wimbledon and the US Open.
Andy did well to reach the quarter finals and would have been nice to see him in the semi- finals but it was not meant to be.
Now Andy needs to get some rest and come back stronger and more purposeful.
Novak Djokovic beat Mikhail Youzhny in four sets to reach the semi-finals. This result was not unexpected but it was nice that Mikhail managed to get a least a set from Novak.
However it made Novak step up his game and he bagled Mikhail in the fourth set. Novak now faces Stanislas
in the semi-finals.
Meanwhile in the women's doubles Venus and Serena Williams beat Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci in straight sets.
I was little surprised with the ease in which Venus and Serena managed to beat Sara and Roberta.
I thought that it was going to be a very tough match for Venus. However Venus played very well which has helped them to reach the semi-finals.
