Singles - Quarterfinals N Kiefer (GER) d [7] J Blake (USA) 61 62 恭喜Kiwi! 生涯對Blake的首勝居然能這麼輕鬆. 四強對手是目前連勝中狀況很好的Simon,沒有對戰交手過. 打進四強後Kiefer的排名也快要重返top20,目前打進四強下週排名預定在#21. In Saturday’s semifinal, Simon will face German Nicolas Kiefer who reached his third Rogers Cup semifinal with a stunning 6-1, 6-2 victory over the last seed remaining in the top half of the draw, No. 7 James Blake. It will be the first meeting between Simon and Kiefer. The oldest player left in the draw, Kiefer, 31, proved too hot for Blake to handle, dropping just nine points on serve throughout and capitalizing on five of seven break point chances to defeat the American for the first time in four meetings after one hour. The 28-year-old Blake was through to the quarterfinals in Canada for the first time in five visits, having fallen second round at all four previous attempts. The Tampa resident, No. 8 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings, has reached the quarterfinals or better at nine earlier events this season, including making quarterfinal exits at ATP Masters Series tournaments in Indian Wells (l. to Nadal), Miami (l. to Nadal) and Rome (l. to Wawrinka). It is the second time this season that World No. 37 Kiefer has defeated Top 10 players in back-to-back matches. The right-hander, who defeated No. 4 Nikolay Davydenko in the third round this week, knocked out No. 10 Wawrinka and Davydenko in consecutive matches at Masters Series Hamburg, where he reached the quarterfinals (l. to Seppi). The Sievershausen resident was a semifinalist in Canada on his second event appearance in 1999 (d. No. 2 Rafter, l. to T. Johansson) and again in 2004 when he defeated No. 4 Carlos Moya in the third round before later falling to No. 2 Andy Roddick. He will now look to reach his first final at the Rogers Cup, and his first of the season having fallen in the Halle semifinals (l. to Federer) before Wimbledon. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 123.243.17.71 ※ 編輯: zerkchu 來自: 123.243.17.71 (07/26 09:20)
