Excellent tennis news (spoiler)

BEIJING -- Rafael Nadal was upset by big-hitting qualifier Martin Klizan of Slovakia 6-7 (7), 6-4, 6-3 in the quarterfinals of the China Open on Friday.

The second-seeded Spaniard struggled with Klizan's power game and his own consistency in just his third match back following a two-month layoff due to a right wrist injury.

Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, meanwhile, set up a semifinal showdown with convincing wins over two young players enjoying breakthrough seasons.

The top-seeded Djokovic defeated Wimbledon semifinalist Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria 6-2, 6-4, while sixth-seeded Murray took out US Open champion Marin Cilic 6-1, 6-4.

Haven't been paying attention since Fed isn't there. He is playing Shanghai though.

I hope Tomas beats Djoker, but I'm not counting on it!
