    Swissers, Falcons, and Worms.

    Well look who crashed the party.

    Not sure people thought the two Swissers to make the semis in Basel would be Fed and Chiuds, but there it is.  Marco summarily dismissed a very flat Reeshie, 1 and 3.

    And then there were the comeback kids.  Nole pulled a rabbit out of his hat, coming back from a set and a break down to beat Stan.  And Radek pulled off a bit of an upset, coming back from a set down to beat Marin.  And Jelena's still pretty.

    [1] R Federer (SUI) d [Q] E Korolev (RUS) 63 62
    [2] N Djokovic (SRB) d [6] S Wawrinka (SUI) 36 76(5) 62
    [5] R Stepanek (CZE) d [4] [WC] M Cilic (CRO) 46 63 63
    [WC] M Chiudinelli (SUI) d R Gasquet (FRA) 61 63

    So it'll be Fed vs. Chiuds (yawn) and Nole vs Steps (intriguing).

    Interestingly, the win keeps Radek in the hunt for the WTF.  The loss means Marin has to win Paris to have a chance.  I'm sure none of you care about this fact.  But I thought it was interesting.  So there.
