Not sure i agree with that, if they're both fully fit and on form I'd go with Wawrinka.

It's hard to dismiss that FO final, I don't think Del Potro has ever had a performance quite like that.




The yr Fed won the French he beat del po in 5 in semi. For parts of that match Del po was unstoppable on the clay

It's great to see Del Potro back. Here's hoping he can carry this on for the rest of the season.

Shame for Edmund today as he had very slight chance of going deep with Djokovic out. He's quite frustrating to watch at times. His forehand is great, but sometimes it just doesn't fire and there are too many unforced errors.

I see Djokovic is missing the Cincinnati Masters like you thought he might, Loki.

Murray will be seeded number one so another good chance for him to keep on winning.

No way any top player was going to play both Masters and the Olympics before the US Open.  Djokovic has never won Cincinatti and he has lost every match against Federer (3-0) and Murray (2-0) at the event.  Murray actually dominates Djokovic in this part of the season winning five of six matches in the North American hard court swing.

It's always fun to watch the Fabio Fognini transformation.  Tanking to majestic to meltdown.  If you can get through the majestic stage you'll tough out the win.

Plays Steve Johnson tomorrow in the QF, who he beat quite easily in the Shanghai Masters last year.  Johnson has improved since then, but doesn't quite have the weapons like Fognini has to really trouble him.   Although a really good service match from Johnson could see Andy struggle, but I can't see it.

Andy blaming really tough conditions which I'm sure there were, but doesn't really explain how he won 6 out of 7 games at the start and 6 games in a row at the end. Conditions were the same all the way through. Fognini played superbly for a set mixed with Murray having one of those brain farts that he used to have regularly about 5 years ago. I always feel matches like that are good to have had once you get through them though as the previous matches were more like practice matches.
