Wimbledon ended a couple of weeks ago with such a fantastic and thrilling final. The final may in fact be the best tennis final anyone could think off. Nadal beat down Roger Federer in a fantastic rollercoaster of drama, action, and excitement! Roger looked perfect the whole tournament but Nadal with a stroke of brilliance managed to stop the Maestro's 6th consecutive Wimbledon title. Now, some may argue is this the end of Federer?! I would say, diffidently not. Even if he goes down to No2 for a while (which may happened if Nadal wins Roger's cup and reaches the quarter finals of Cincinnati) Federer still remains a genius of the game. What went wrong with him, what happened? Well, I may explain that another time but this blog entry is meant to focus on Semi's of Roger's cup so lets begin shall we?
Left side bracket semi-finals: Gilles Simon VS Nicolas Kiefer:
A match of two very unexpected semi-finalists. Simon took down Federer and other powerful opponents to his race to this Semi-final. He looks to be in good shape concentrating on his game and playing very powerfully. This is his first ATP masters series semi-final and the boost of beating the No1 player in the world is making him reach sky high. On the other hand, Kiefer who defeated Blake on his way here is playing really good tennis ever since Wimbildon! However from what I can say, he always performs not so well on his semis. I am expecting Gilles Simon to take this match 2-1!
Right side brackets semi-finals: Rafael Nadal VS Andy Murray:
This is a clash that will definitely bring an interesting match. Nadal, nearly unstoppable due to his imbalanced performance if I may say since Roland Garros! He is on a hot streak and I don’t expect anyone to stop him except for Djocovic in the semis. But stunning enough, Djoco lost against Murray 2-0 in a fantastic match. Murray played great and defeating the defending champion is defiantly boosted his confidence. Although I am hopping Murray wins this title, I am positive that Nadal will take this match 2-1.
Hope you like this brief analysis, and thank you

Nice write-up of your predictions
If I would vote for who would win the whole thing, I'd put my money on Nadal although I would prefer Murray winning for once 
I wanted Djokovic to win T_T

Simon is tired, very tired, you could see it against Cilic. Kiefer almost plays the same game as Simon, both of them preferring to counterpunch more than go on the agressive themselves. So they should both be unsettled a bit, meaning about 342 years worth of more experience plus simon's tired legs will mean kiefer wins in straight sets.
Nadal, in the other semis matchup, will just not lose, whatever happens, no matter how well murray plays, which he absolutely will by the way, murrays playing great. Even if Nadal's down a set and what not, he'll come put on top, that's just what he does at the moment.
And obviously nadal will then absolutely crush kiefer in the finals.

I´m cheering for Kiefer. He was always one of the most talented players around, but often he lacked mental strength. He has the sad record of the longest losing streak in ATP-finals. He is 31 now, and this could be one of his final chances to win a tournament.
From what I got in interviews, he is a very down-to-earth person, and very likeable. My favourite tennis player for years now.
