Wimbledon Day 7.... or 8?

First topic message reminder :

Lopez v Isner is exactly what everyone thought it would be.

Following the exit of John Isner at the hands of Feliciano Lopez, there are no American men or women in the round of 16 at Wimbledon for the first time since 1911.

I wonder what the USTA will make of that

   Got to love Mac though. He is totally different from the persona we were fed when he was a player.

Oh yeah, he's got an excellent sense of humour.  I'd go out to the pub with him and Novak.

   Too true.

Castle and Barker are abysmal!

Macenroe is pretty much the only one with both a clue and the guts to talk about it

Steady on. I like Mc but some of his theories are somewhat odd.

Where has Dimitrov joined the big 4? I would say the locker room but don't former champions have their own separate room?

Queen's = All 4 majors rolled into one.  It means Murray is sitting with Sampras on 14

And Rafa is the GOAT with 18!!!!

I wonder how long this rain is in for?

Can Anderson build some pressure after that break?

Nope

That was a nice pass. Some very nice passes from Murray today

Murray playing some rather loose shots.

Looks like the break hasn't helped!

Murray just a bit loose at times since the restart here, and Anderson just has a small foothold in the set.

Murray seems to have completely lost his timing out there.

Frame that second serve!

96mph!

regathers himself well though, and that's a very good hold from BP down.

So... I was wrong then

Nice and composed service game from Murray there.

that's a better service game from Murray, possibly helped by the newer balls, that should hopefully settle him a little.

Andy takes the second set on BP.

Another dreadful attempt at S&V by Anderson!!

If your Dimitrov/Mayer you must wonder if the match will finish today which will be good news for Murray.

Wham, bam, thank you ma'am!

Anderson just not getting to grips on the wide serve.

The penny might drop soon.

My thoughts exactly

Also, let's home Kerber and Sharapova knock lumps out of each other and Djokovic has to come back tomorrow too

Or just that JWT has a running hot day and blasts Djoker off the court?

Perfect drop

That would also do!! (but if he can do that in 5 sets running into tomorrow it would be better!!)

Rain scheduled until about 8ish. Sorry Grigor...

Anderson had a chance there.

Still on serve in this 3rd set.

Anderson's played well this set, barely made a mistake. There's a bad one there at 30-30 though, and Murray holds on to lead 4-3

Chance in the set. Murray will win the match, might even be better for him if it goes to 4, as he'll get more of a test and JWT/Novak would certainly not finish today

Murray is clearly the form horse of the tournament, Anderson is the toughest of all opponents faced so far by the top 4 and yet he is dismantling him with ease.

I agree but top 8 and then top 4 opponents are a completely different prospect. And Nadal tends to improve through tournaments more than other players and Novak can bring form out of nowhere. Murray is the favourite though

Anderson showing some balls of steel there.

Jaysus, this man's got stones.

Cilic wins    

Are they back out?

Its gonna be cilic vs Nick Kyrigious finals    

Andy just a game away now.

You feel that Dimitrov/Mayer will be coming back tomorrow.

Anderson is fighting for everything on his serve!

Wouldn't surprise me if sneaked this set on the TB.

No lk covers coming off on outside courts so still time to get finished.

Yup he is more than capable of stealing a set on fast surfaces.

Want Kevin to take this set, but also need to see the Korgi vs cocker spaniel

Dimitrov/Mayer back on court warming up as Anderson has set point.

That was a solid TB from Murray. Good to get one under your belt. Through in straight sets.

Anderson showed some absolute grit and determination in that 3rd set and could count himself unlucky not to have won a set.

Still not tested enough though

Hardlines Jahu. Muzza wins in straight sets winning 6-4 6-3 7-6. Solid performance.

How about a cilic vs Nick Kyrigious finals?   

Don't these walkovers understand they're not meant to fight back??

Well done Anderson. Great effort by the big man and in the end nearly got a set, but I'd be lying if I said he deserved one.

well, murray is there to defend his title

it will take anybody´s best day to beat him

Dimitrov takes the tiebreak 8-6 to lead Mayer two sets to love.

I must say Mayer looks pretty decent. Dimitrov solid though.

Come on JWT. I love Tsonga playing well
