I, too, thought Brown would beat Nadal (that Halle match was last year), but I also think Brown will beat Troicki, who is gassed from too many matches on grass. Brown also beat Lu in four sets in the first round, and that's a guy he would not have beaten if he were not playing at a career high. 

Pospisil-Brown would be too close to call. Pospisil has the huge serve, so Brown would not be able to play a horrid game on his own serve and get away with it, but Pospisil also is a world-class choker.

With the Women's 4th round completed, I have jumped out to a lead with 4 correct quarterfinalists to your 2.  And to call back a time on the Tennis-x board, fuck Uncle Kiki, Coco Vandeweghe is in the quarterfinals of Wimbledon.

We both have 6 potential quarterfinalists for the men.  Neither of us saw Gasquet making it this far (the farthest since his semifinals in 2007).  Pospisil would have garnered me WTF points in the old days, but I'm kind of surprised he's made it through 3 5-set matches.

Who'd have thought that Gasquet would beat Wawrinka?  Not me.  I was still expecting him to lose from 9-9 on.

Standings (with the quarterfinals completed):
Forehand_lob: 97.5
funches: 72.5

I picked up two correct women's semifinalists (Serena and Sharapova) while you had none.  We both had Djokovic, Federer and Murray.  I also put in the extra point I got for Pospisil taking out 2 seeds on his way to the QFs.

While it may look like I have a good lead, I think it will depend in a large part on the result of the Federer v. Murray match.

I'm sorry to say that I saw the result coming when Federer got broken when he was up 4-2 in the first set.

The final results are:

Forehand_lob: 107.5
funches: 97.5

Thanks for the kind words on the Pospisil pick.  I had the very weak section he was in to thank.

With the US Open coming up, I'm not sure whether Serena will Slam or get slammed.  I guess we'll find out soon!
