Venus out. Kerber beat her.

Whatever. Onto Friday with Fed and Nadal.

Fed starting soon.

Nadal shortly after that match finishes. Winners face each other in the semis.

Raonic / Thiem is the other half of the bracket.

Fed cruises.

Khachanov opens with a break over Nadal. He was putting so many forehands on the baseline, so I don't know what to think of that just yet.

Nadal breaks back to get to 3-3. Khachanov's shots are falling out now in a more normal distribution ratio.

Nadal holds easily, 4-3.

Nadal takes the first set in a tiebreak.

We are one set away from a Fed/Nadal semifinal, if that's something you're into.

Helluva 1st set. Think it will be tough for Khachanov to muster much in this set though. Nadal is rolling.

Nadal trying to force a second set tiebreaker now.

Pretty entertaining match. Khachanov very impressive. I'd pick him to win a grand slam before any of the other young guys, Zverev included.

Pretty worried the fed nadal match is gonna end with a withdrawal. Seems more likely than not to me unfortunately

I dunno. Nadal was being a baby about his knee, but as soon as Point started he was zipping all over the court.

Fed should be fine, right?

Looks like it got scheduled for the 2nd match tomorrow.

He was moving pretty well after the initial game or two post injury which included him serving 75 mph and hobbling around but I’m worried it gets worse overnight and/or if he loses the first set he has an out to quit and focus on clay season which might even be the smart thing to do

Absolutely hope I’m wrong tho so I can see em live tomorrow but the pessimist in me is keeping my expectations low

Andreescu seems good, just needs to up her conditioning

Raonic vs Thiem now. 2-1 Raonic, Thiem about to serve to try to tie it up.

I'm not super excited about this one, but I'm watching.

**** off. Rafa just pulled out.

omg. So lame.

Good thing he toughed out yesterday's match just to cause a walkover today. Couldn't have retired and let Khachanov advance so we have a match today!?

Well **** I blame the Russian for not being able to beat hobbled nadal. Goddamnit. Hope Thiem wins Milos tends to bore the hell out of me like every guy with a huge serve...Thiem Federer more entertaining imo

I really do love how pure/effortless Raonic's service motion is.

Thiem breaks Raonic. GG

While he's light years ahead of Isner, Raonic is still mostly a servebot.

If it gets to rally, it seems like Thiem has a sizable advantage.

Yeah Raonic's movement just isn't there for rallying/returning, which is too bad. If he moved even just a little better he'd be a much stronger player IMO.

Yeah, or anyone else good.

Nadal did the honorable thing and withdrew from the Miami 1000 already.
