Prediction catch up

Ok, a lot of catching up to do over the last few days. First off prediction overview.

First of lets look at my predictions for the round of 16- hardly perfect! I got the Djokovic, Murray, Federer, Tsonga and Kohlschreiber victories correct. Although Fed's was tougher than it should have been down to some back issues, and Murray's was far easier than I expected!

The Youzhny-Istomin match was a five-set thriller like I expected however the experience of Youzhny won through in that deciding fifth set. Was very surprised to see Mayer prevail over what looked like an exhausted Gasquet, and the Delpo/Ferrer match was off by a mile. Ferrer truly dominated and really looked like he has made his incredible movement skills pay off on the grass of SW19. Delpo didn't look his normal dominant self and I feel he was a step-slow, it looked like he was still struggling with that troublesome knee injury.

Total score 5/8 for match predictions. Could be better, could be worse!
