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!

It was nice to see Murray doing so well, but I'm a little worried and saddened about Nadal because I've always had a huge amount of respect for the way he plays and carries himself on and off the tennis court. Hopefully he'll get over all these injuries but unfortunately there's a part of me that feels he'll never be the same player again.

yeah I agree over Nadal i hope hes ok but meh. But yay for Murray we had it on at work this morning and when i finished i saw he won first set and when i got home he won 2nd so was a bit disapointed when Nadal had to pull out. Im worried about Chilc but ill keep my fingers crossed

[setanta]

Can't see Cilic troubling him, although he does have that formidable serve. Yeah, I have my reservations about Nadal now that it seems as though his body can't take the punishing matches that we've grown accustomed to seeing him produce time and again. His whole game is based on the physical aspect of the game, as he always tries to drain his opponents. With a dodgy body he wont be able to do it anymore and unfortunately I don't believe that he has the ability to change his game.

Murray will be lookng for revenge after us open though. I still think Federer will win though altihough im rooting for Murray

[setanta]

Davydenko is the dark horse. I can see him troubling Federer. He's playing him next, right?

[BigSister]

Yeah I think djoko will get through his quarter but you never do know

[red]

Murray's gonna sweep the floor with cillic Bang!


hehe

[Gemmer-x]

Well chuffed! Andy played great, got the tactics spot on glad i got to watch all the match although obviously it's a shame it had to end the way it did.. hope Rafa's knees are going to be alright..

Bring on Cilic in the Sf's, time for revenge me thinks

Anddd fireworks disrupting play?! Only in Oz

Also well done to Laura Robson, through to the 3rd round juniors

[BigSister]

lol i saw that on twitter about the fireworks

[Marc]

Bloody fireworks. LOL

I agree with you setanta, I don't see Nadal getting back to his best in the future, I always knew he would burn out sooner or later. He just plays too powerfully, he was never going to keep that going for long its a shame because a lot of players are skillful and some are powerful players and I saw Nadal as one of the only men on tour with both attributes. We'll have to see what happens with that knee!

Laura Robson is through to the quarter finals of the girls singles! Woop!

[King Gizzard]

come on tim

[Marc]

Also its a shame Davydenko is out, I thought he would be a dark horse in this tournament, at least a five setter! But hey! Federer is looking scarily amazing at the moment! We could do with an exhausting semi final for him! (given that Murray gets to the final)

Watching the Djoko/Tsonga match - dissapointed with how poor the quality's been tbh. Whoever wins this, if they play like this in the SF then Fed is going to eat them alive!

[King Gizzard]

[Marc]

Was Djokovic just sick? I missed it! He isn't playing very well now

[ange7]

Djokovic is gone

[BigSister]

awww poor djoko
I still think Fed is going to win but if Murray gets to the final I dont think hes beaten federer before and people willmention the us open final but you never do know. Good on laura robson though ^_^

[Marc]

Murray leads the Head to Head with Federer 6-4 and Murray has lost the last 2 matches.

[Chels]

come on rog

[BigSister]

Ah thanks for that Marc

[setanta]

I see that Federer was his usual humble self in the post match interview, blaming his dodgy first set and a half on a ray of sunshine that was coming through onto the court rather than the amazing play of Davydenko who had been absolutely destroying him prior to his horrendous miss at 3-1 and 15-40 in the second set. After that Davydenko just fell apart. I've literally never seen someone implode like that before but fair play to him, he rallied in the fourth and was unlucky not to take it into a 5th set, which I have no doubt he would have won.

[Marc]

Murray wins!!!!!

A few amazing points in that match, Cilic was tired but Murray kept solid and deserved that win. I'm confident about Sunday!

[Gemmer-x]

aaaah! -can't breathe-

Shot of the championships btw, in the 2nd set when Muzzah broke, absolutely brill!

Bring on Fed!

[Marc]

Yeah that shot and the one in the last game
