Here`s an update on the last two quarterfinal matches in Madrid.

The first match was a matchup between the Spanish Armanda`s top stars where Rafa defeated Fernando Verdasco 6-4, 7-5. This was a tight match as expected. In fact Fernando had a 4-0 lead in the second set, but wilted in the face of Rafa`s charge back.

In the second match, Juan Del Potro defeated Andy Murray 7-6(4), 6-3. Juan also made a nice comeback, coming back from down 2-5 in the first set. From then on he took control of the match. This was a bad way for Andy to spend his 22nd birthday.

So in all three of the Big 4 were victorious today in Madrid. Tomorrow will be the semifinals. In the marquee match, Rafa and Nole will once again meet up. Also Fed will face Juan Del Potro for the second time this year. Obviously the Rafa-Nole match looks very intriguing, especially with Nole giving Rafa his toughest matches on clay in a while. Hopefully both matches will do pretty good.

Anyway here are some pics from the evening matches.
