Brave man you are. OK I gave up after the second set TB.

I can see why you gave up.

The second set was plain awful!

If Nole plays like he did today, even when he was winning it wasn't amazing, and Dimi doesn't get tight, he should beat Nole. Big if though

I honestly thought the earth might spin off its axis when Federer and Novak were both down a set, after seeing Murray crash out.

Andy was just insipid today. Danny was right, I'm not a particular fan but I was disappointed with him today - no grit displayed whatsoever. What on earth happened? He's looked brilliant this tournament until now. Commiserations Craig, Danny, MfC et al. Didn't see Novak, but kudos to HMM for making me laugh with images of drunken Nole scampering like bambi over the grass trying to avoid the net  Wink 

Federer got out of jail today, but he by no means played a poor match. Midway through the third set, just before Stan really started to suffer, I thought it was reasonably even with Stan looking minor favourite due to baseline exchange dominance. Pretty high quality match regardless, at least until poor Stan's form started plummeting. Looks like the scheduling got to him in the end, such a shame Sad

It's all looking very interesting for the SFs, very open. Last chance saloon for Fed? Novak wobbling, Dimi looking good, Raonic flying below all known radar...

So it would seem, BB. That type of defeat can leave some scarring, too; let's hope he comes back from this strongly.

I want to see the old slice'n'dice Murray return to the tour.

Although I want Raonic to lose pretty much every match he'll ever play, he looked really good against Kyrgios. The last time I saw him he was just a serve and a forehand. Now he has a better backhand and has added a slice too. His volleying isn't up to scratch just yet but I think that's something he can work on. Scarily enough, I think his serve can get faster too.

Come on KR, there is a story waiting to be told here. A new thread, perhaps. Wink

Afraid not LF - it's not an altogether well reasoned argument... I suspect the reality is South Africans are just bitter about having to wake up at 2 a.m. for the last twenty years to watch our cricket teams get thrashed down under. I suspect Emotionally distressing events witnessed while suffering from sleep deprivation fosters a feeling of resentment towards all things Australian.

If Haddie wants, I have a compelling article brewing in me about the state of women's tennis attire at the top of the game, in particular my concerns over the way underwear is going.

I am very happy with how this Wimbledon has worked out.  From my perspective, the worst we can get from here on is Nole beating Raonic in the final, and even that would be ok-ish.  Happy that Fed is still in, happy that Dimi finally made the SF, happy for Raonic too, even though I am not a huge fan of his game (though I like the man himself quite a lot), happy Rafa lost early, happy a teenager won a nice scalp.  What is there not to be happy about.

I will be thrilled if Grigor wins the trophy but - as much as I like him and as much as I want the youngsters to start winning - my optimal result would involve Grigor losing in the final Wink

We could still have a Dimitrov vs Raonic final.  That would be a pretty strong statement and a change of the guard signal.

One of my wild tennis dreams has - after Nole, Andy and Rafa retired - Fed fighting for the major trophies with Dimitrovs, Ranoics, Kyrgioses of this world.  If, somehow or other, Fed beats Raonic and then gets to play Grisha in the final, that would be the closest thing to the fulfillment of that dream.

Totally missed Wimbledon so far this year, with the world cup distractions.

Few upsets agin, which I think is good.
Also caught an interview with Eugenie Bouchard.

Wow, another looker.
