Friday: The Blogger Sleeps Through the Quarters
Apparently the string of early mornings to watch matches has taken its toll. I set my alarm, but forgot to change it to 3:30 a.m., so I slept through the match.
But as it turns out, Rafa didn't need me. He easily defeated Guillmero Coria, 6-2, 6-1, ending Coria's two-match streak of winning matches without a serve.
Because The Tennis Channel replays the matches the later in the day, I can catch the match this afternoon. But it sounds as though I didn't miss much.
This is Rafa's 40th consecutive win, as he moves to the semis against Gaston Gaudio. That should be his first real test of the tournament. Vamos, Rafa!!!

hello susan
I saw the match but you didn't miss much. after a slow start Rafa began playing better and Coria(better serving then yesterday, but still poorly)couldn't catch up. in the second set Coria did not feel well but did not retire. 6-2 6-1

Hi!
I had to work in the lab during Rafa's match so couldn't even follow the scoreboard. But I wasn't worried about Rafa. The scoreline was pretty much like I had thought it would be. ;-)
Vamos Rafa!!!
omg!!! i just found out he won!!! yes!!!! of course, i checked out this blog before any other website!!
this is great news.
thanks susan!
Not sure what it is you can't understand. Sorry!
Also, I meant to clarify that this is Rafa's 40th consecutive clay court win! Tied with Muster now. Vamos!!!
BTW, if Rafa hadn't tried to play Valencia last year, after the exhausting Miami final, he likely would have 50 consecutive clay court wins at the moment.
