Surpsied to see Pospisil fight back from 2 down but good for my TFF team!

Will face Murray next in the QFs.

 

[Super_horns]

Well its kind of win win then although I'd want Murray to be the victor in reality!

 

[Leewilson]

Kyrgios is a talent, and is entertaining, but he acts like a petulant bell end half the time. I'm sure age will tame him but he's not going to win or get close to a major at present with his tantrums and dips in matches. He needs to look at how ice cold the likes of Djokovic, Federer and even Murray are when they get into a winning position.

 

[Leewilson]

Also, on a separate note, who are we picking to come through the bottom half of the ladies section to reach the final.

Wozniacki, Muguruza, Baczinsky, Niculescu, Govortsova, Keys, Radwanska, Jankovic.

I see it going something like:

Muguruza beats Wozniacki
Niculescu beats Baczinsky
Keys beats Govortsova
Radwanska beats Jankovic

3/4 there, just Baczkinsky keeping up her outstanding form against the in form Niculescu.

Woman's quarters are:

Williams vs Azarenka
Sharapova vs Vandeweghe
Muguruza vs Baczinsky
Keys vs Radwanska

Honestly would love to see Azarenka beat Serena. She has the game to do it, she just has to have the belief that she is grand slam material again following her injury.

Kyrgios just needs to stay focused more I guess as he is a great talent but the attitude at times might let him down?

Murray will win in 3 now I reckon.

Serena and Sharapova safely through potentially setting up a semi final between the 2 as are Radwanska and Keys.

Yeah he seems to want to win too much if that makes sense and his emotion gets the better of him.

Murray having no problems with Karlovic, other than his serve he's pretty shit.

 

[Master D]

His serve is simply immense though. Into a 4th set.

 

[Super_horns]

Opps...like Saturday then?

Get the trainer on!

 

[DarkSithLord]

Can see this going all the way. His serve is incredible. Murray in 5.

 

[The Iron]

I don't like the fact that Murray is serving second again in this set. I still think he will win the match though.

 

[Master D]

Hmm bit of a dodgy call that for me. Murray didn't challenge straight away. Murray's returning in that game though, unreal stuff.

But finally, the servebot has malfunctioned.

 

[The Iron]

Unbelievable lob shots from Murray throughout the game. Fantastic stuff.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Well played Andy!! Awkward player dispatched well.

 

[Master D]

Is it time to take Stan the man seriously on grass yet? Still not sure but he's through to the QF and hasn't lost a set yet, he's also looking strong mentally right now. Gasquet up next, which will be a quality matchup.

Wawrinka will crush him. Yeah Stan is definitely capable of winning this as is Cilic if he can hit top form.

Couldn't watch the Murray match today as I'd be getting frustrated and annoyed at that serve! Was never going to be easy but our Andy dispatched him well enough.

 

[DarkSithLord]

I see Giles Simon conprehensively beat Berydch in 3 easy sets (3,3 and 2)

So Surprised this is his first time in a Quarter final!

 

[Veggie Legs]

Djokovic has just dropped his first set against Anderson, he's under pressure for the first time this tournament.

 

[Super_horns]

Go Kevin!

Think Djokovic will come back to win...

Berdych Injured?

 

[SALTIRE]

Anderson is having a good grass court season. This wont be that easy for Djokovic as he doesn't have Murray's variety shown at Queens to beat the South African.

 

[Master D]

Anderson's backhand is just awful. Djokovic still wins this.

 

[SALTIRE]

Yeah if Anderson wins a second set then alarm bells should be ringing. I still think with Djokovic's agility and returning he should have more than enough.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Anderson is playing inspired tennis here. Djockovic is in big trouble.

 

[The Iron]

Djokovic is in big trouble now after losing his serve. What a chance Murray has of winning Wimbledon if Djokovic goes out tonight.

 

[TractorBoys]

Murray will be watching this with keen interest. Bookies taking note and most have nudged him as favourite in the last 10-15 minutes.

To be fair, I'd expect Murray to beat him on grass anyway should that be the final, but if he falls here then it really is just his to lose.

 

[The Iron]

I can't see Murray having any trouble winning his next match, but i'm not sure that Murray would get past Federer the way he has played so far. I think they are due to play in the semi final, so the winner of that game will win the whole thing.

 

[Stevencc]

Come on Djokovic

 

[SALTIRE]

Come on Djokovic

Come on Anderson!

 

[Veggie Legs]

2-0 Anderson, upset is very much on the cards...

 

[TractorBoys]

Djokovic now 4/1 at Betfair...

 

[Master D]

Almost impossible to finish these top guys off in best of 5. Djokovic should come back and finish the job off tomorrow.

 

[Munkiki]

So horrible to watch players go 2 sets to love up against a top player and then not be able to close it out. I mean, it's great to see a competitive match but I always feel really gutted for the underdog. All that effort for nothing.

Another enjoyable day of tennis overall. Figured Serena would respond positively after that scare from Watson but didn't expect it to be as comfortable as it was. But for the second set, Gasquet-Kyrgios was decent. Great comeback win for Pospisil - must've been a tough day for him, five setters in both singles and doubles! Murray did well against the giant. Federer continues to make it look easy, what a beautiful man. Would love it if he won the whole thing but I just can't see it, unfortunately.
