2 Americans to the round of 16....Querrey can make it 3 if he can take down Cilic.

Roddick should have won that second set.

It's just Baker and Fish, since Querrey could muster the marathon magic, losing 17-15 in the 5th. Baker's got a punchers chance to get to the QF against Kohlschrieber. Fish will have a tougher road with Jo-Willie Tsonga.

Over on the women's side Serena got extended by China's Zheng Jie, winning the 3rd 9-7. It doesn't get any easier as her next opponent Yaroslava Shvedova became the first woman (and 2nd player) in history to record a golden set - winning every point in all 6 games. Shvedova's golden set came against French Open finalist Sara Errani.

Women's final: Serena-Radwanska. Radwanska could become new World #1 with a win, a good omen for her as the last 2 major champs on the women's side moved up to #1 after winning. Serena will be at 4 regardless of what happens. Azarenka would go back to #1 if Serena wins, with Radwanska at 2, Sharapova at 3.

Over on the men's side a Federer win would put him back up to #1, tying Sampras's record of weeks at #1. Any of the other 3 winning would keep Djokovic atop the rankings and Federer at 2. Murray's at 4 regardless of what he does. Tsonga could move to 5 with a win over Murray, but no higher even if he wins the whole thing.

As a longtime Fed fan, I really hope he gets this. I honestly think Fed/Djoker is the true(fake) final and whoever wins rolls in the actual final (barring a 5 setter that lasts close to 6 hours).

Nothing against Joey-Wil or Murray, but they will never be on that elite level that Fed has been on and that Djoker will continue on into the next few years. It is crazy that they have never played on grass against one another.

I respect the Williams sisters for keeping American tennis relevant, but have always hated their attitude.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
