Preview of Matches on Saturday, June 12

Semifinal Round

(#1 seed) Roger Federer  vs.  Philipp Petzschner
Petzschner is at home on the German soil, but I can pretty much guarantee the fans will be behind the great Roger Federer.  Federer will destroy Petzschner and look towards the final on Sunday.
Pick-  Federer
Result-

(#8 seed) Lleyton Hewitt  vs.  Benjamin Becker
This will be the upset of the day.  Becker is a solid grass court player that does well in his home country.  Hewitt will probably be looking forward to wimbledon, and believing he has had a good tuneup for the next Grand Slam in less than 2 weeks.  He is looking to get out of Germany, while Becker really wants to win....edge Becker.
Pick- Becker
Result-


All the mighty have fallen out of this tournament:  Nadal, Gone.  Cilic, Gone.  Djokovic, Gone.Roddick, GONE!!  Now we have 4 turds left.

(#8 seed) Feliciano Lopez  vs.  Mardy Fish 
I wouldn't pick Mardy Fish to bean anyone.  I'm shocked he even won one match, let alone 4 so far.  Lopez and Fish are both flakey in the way that they have talent, but just never play like it.  Lopez does have the big serve and has made it far at wimbledon (quarterfinals, a couple years ago I do believe.)  So he does have good results on grass.  Lopez will win this one....unless he has a modeling gig lined up, then his mind may be elsewhere.
Pick- Lopez
Result-

Rainer Schuettler  vs.  (#7 seed) Sam Querrey     
Rainer Shuettler?  Are you kidding me?  He is in the semifinals?  Yes, veteran Rainer Schuettler probably made a deal with the devil to get to the semifinals, because there is no way in hell his talent alone could get him this far... Sam Querrey on the other hand is a little bitch.  Whining and crying his way out of Roland Garros.  Go back home douche.
Pick- Schuettler
Result-


  And now the semifinals for the women.

(#1 seed) Na Li  vs.  (#4 seed) Aravane Rezai
For some reason the Chinese seem to do really well on grass.  Rezai's game is more suited for clay or hardcourts, so I have to lean towards Li scrapping through to the final in 3 sets.
Pick- Li
Result-

Alison Riske  vs.  (#2 seed) Maria Sharapova
Lets start this by saying that I do not know anything about this Riske girl.  I know she got into this tournament as a qualifier, and that she hails from the United States.... Maria Sharapova is a former Wimbledon winner and knows how to play on grass.  This will a grass ass kicking.  Sharapova to dominate.
Pick- Sharapova
Result-
