Nadal is through to the quarter finals after winning in straight sets against Dolgopolov, it was no challenge for Nadal as he breezed through only losing 7 games in the 3 sets. Thiem is beating Del Potro in the 4th set and should make it through. Now we just wait to see if Federer can make it through to the quarter finals when he faces Kohlschreiber soon.
What an incredible match Delpo and Thiem played. So interesting and quality duel. And what a comeback Del Potro made... amazing. He was ill these last couple of days, doctor gave him pills during the medical timeout in first set, he was feeling pretty bad. I thought that he has no chance to win, but how wrong I was... Fantastic. It would be great for him to rest and recover good, as much as he can, because Federer just won the match against Kolschriber and it was pretty easy task for him, three sets, hour and fifty minutes, didn't even sweat.
Quality match indeed. I really thought that Thiem would really take the game in straight sets, Delpo appeared physically finished earlier in the match, but appeared fueled by the crowd and found a way to earn a spot in the quarterfinals.
Now he must face the dominant Federer, who cruised past Philipp Kohlschreiber without even allowing a break point chance.This victory marked his second consecutive straight sets win as he approaches a potential semifinal showdown with Nadal. Rafa also has no problem, beating Alexandr Dolgopolov in straight sets with little resistance.
