It is getting farcical now in light of these SF match-ups. I mean, I love and am excited by the SFs as much as anyone! Still, Venus, Serena and Lucic is an indictment given they first popped up on the scene two decades ago (I still recall the Venus-Serena & Lucic-Majoli R2 matches at the 1998 AO very well), and the men's side is also threatening a (lesser) blast from the past. Still fondly recall all their first AOs as well, Nadal against Hewitt in 2004 R3 (and R4 the following year), Wawrinka against Nalbandian in 2006 R2 and Federer's back-to-back R3 losses to Clement in 2000-01, before those incredible R4 losses to Haas & Nalbandian in 2002-03.
Still, gotta cherish all those memories across the years. It would be cool to see Venus finally win an AO, and a last Fedal epic for the ages would be immense (realistically, Stan will probably grab yet another slam). Glad to see Dimitrov playing up to his potential, not the type of talent you like to see going to waste.
