james blake is really coming alive.....those first two sets showed some of the best athleticism I have seen over decades of watching the open. I couldn't believe how solid he was especially when agassi came out of the gates firing as well. he will most definately ride the wave of this great result even though it would have been amazing for him to pull through to the finals.
I also think that in that match, blake was stronger. He just lost it mentally somewhere in that third set to give it back to andre and never fully recovered. Andre, being the veteran that he is, capitalized on it major.
