Federer tops Hewitt

This morning I got the chance to watch the tail end of the match between Roger Federer and Lleyton Hewitt. It was not really close, and Federer won in straight sets to advance to the quarterfinals. So far almost all of the top seeds are still alive. One exception is Juan Martin del Potro, who lost a close 5-setter to Marin Cilic over the weekend. Cilic is a solid player, and he gets to take on Roddick in the next round. That should be a good match, but it'll take place in the middle of the night, so I won't get to watch it. I did see most of Roddick's match against Fernando Gonzalez on Sunday morning. Andy struggled a bit in the 2nd and 3rd sets, but he came back and won the fourth 7-5, breaking Gonzalez in the final game and then cruising in the fifth set. I also saw Andy Murray defeat John Isner in straight sets. Isner did a good job of frustrating Murray, but after dropping the opening set in a tiebreaker, he couldn't do much else. Still, it's encouraging to see another American play well in a major. So now the quarterfinals are set. Federer will face Davydenko, Djokovic takes on Tsonga, and Murray is up against Nadal. The aforementioned Cilic-Roddick match rounds things out. Can't wait to see the results.
