As for Nadal, he is far from his top form and has some work to do. Hopefully, he can get back into form before the US Open. It is really a shame what being sidelined can really do for a player’s confidence and continuity. For me, injuries are an untold story of the game. (Image: Dennis/tennisfiend) 
Juan Martin del Potro continued to play well last night against Rafael Nadal. He easily upset the second-seed 7-6(5) 6-1 to advance into the semifinals. This is his second-straight win over the Spaniard.
The Argentine looked great on the court last night. He served, hit and moved well last night in an all-around solid performance. One thing that stood out was that he effectively moved Nadal around the court, which is something the Spaniard tends to do to other people.
It is kind of scary to think this 20 year old now possesses the skills and the maturity to now take on the top players on tour. He will meet for the second week in a row Andy Roddick. He got the best of the American last week in Washington D.C. and is 2-0 over the world no. 5. We shall see if it will be two wins in two weeks.

she wishes she could "top" Rafa. So not happy
JMDP is a good person for Rafa to lose to. Rafa will be back. He just needs to get his feel back.
