And we're down to the Final Four. 

And there's no Federer .

And it feels strange. 

But somehow it just doesn't feel wrong. 

Berdych deserved every bit of his upset. Djokovic got lucky only because he ran into Lu instead of Roddick but the way the Serb was playing, it probably wouldn't have made a difference.
