Yay well done Laura. Shes sweet
I know we could have won but its one of those things. At least Lauras got a win now under her belt that was frustrating me when they were going she cant make it

[Marc]

Yeah she can definately make it, she's only 15 as well, she'll have a year or 2 to live up to the likes of Sharapova, Ivanovic, Azarenka! She's a new hope on the British women's side!

A. Murray df. M. Gicquel 61 64 63

J. Jankovic df. K. O'Brien 62 62

[Marc]

Murray dispatches giant Isner 76 63 62 and will face Nadal next in the quarter finals. Nadal beat Karlovic 64 46 64 64.

Cilic has beaten Del Potro in a five set thriller, 57 64 75 57 63 and will face either Roddick or Gonzalez in the quarter final, who have yet to play.

Jie Zheng has got through to quarter finals for the first time here at the Aussie Open, she beat Bondarenko 76 64 and will face either Kirilenko or Safina.

Nadia Petrova has continued her amazing form into the quarters ousting Kuznetsova in three, winning 63 36 61. She will face either Henin or Wickmayer in the quarter final.

All other fourth round matches are played tomorrow, these includes:
Federer v. Hewitt
Verdasco v. Davydenko
Djokovic v. Kubot
Tsonga v. Almagro
S. Williams v. Stosur
Zvonareva v. Azarenka
Wozniacki v. Li
Schiavone v. V. Williams

[Marc]

Justine Henin has beaten Yanina Wickmayer winning 63 in the third set. She will play Petrova in the quarter finals. Great comeback so far. Can't see her winning playing like this but she's doing well!

[Marc]

Maria Kirilenko goes through to the quarter finals of a major for the first time in her career, leading 64 when Safina pulled out. Andy Roddick just went through with a 5 set win over Gonzalez. Poor Gonzo!

[red]

who do you guys think will win? Andy or Rafa?

[setanta]

I honestly have no idea although Murray has a huge chance. It's on soon enough now. Anyone going to watch?

[Marc]

I missed it had a stupid 3 hour lecture! just watched half the highlights though, it was a good match up until nadal showed obvious signs of hurting. I had a good feeling about Murray before he went into the match, so glad he's in the semi finals now! Marin Cilic next, Murray will be looking for revenge against him! Cilic has played over 18 hours of tennis this week, compared to Murrays' 10 hours. Murray is relatively fresh compared to Cilic. Hopefully it'll work in his advantage, however I don't see Murray needing to have that advantage he should win in 3 sets or 4 c'moonnnn Murray!

[Marc]

Laura Robson and Oliver Golding are doing well in the Girls and Boys Singles. Both in the third round and will play tomorrow.
