Good win against an expeirenced opponent.I thought things might turn in Haas's favour after he won the 2nd set but Murray pulled it back and then took over.

Anyone watching Murray and Gasquet right now? They're now playing the final set. Murray pulled back after being 2 sets down, and is 2-0 up in this set. It's a very exciting game.

What an epic game that was, fantastic comeback from Murray.I really thought he was being outclassed and expected him to lose in straight sets but he pulled it back and from then on it was pretty much one sided.Best game of the tournament so far.

Murray was class, thought that was it when he went 2 sets down but he kept going, won the third set, won the fourth set and then took over in the final set. From what I have seen up to now I think he will give Nadal a good game but can't see him winning. Still think it will be a Federer/Nadal final.

Murray out in straight sets then.It was always going to be a big test against Nadal but he never played at his best and basically got overpowered.Nadal and Federer are just on another level to anyone else right now.

I'd be incredibly surprised if it wasn't.Only interesting thing will be to see who wins the final.

I'm pretty sure both will make the final.Zheng has done very incredibly well to make it to the semi-finals but I think Serena will overpower her.I can't say I was overly impressed with Dementieva in her last game, she seemed to fall to bits in the second set after Petrova broke back.Her serve seems very weak and I can see Venus exploiting that quite easily.

Thanks Dan, you seem to know your stuff, unlike me I'm not a great fan just been watching the highlights of these 2 over the years.
They have met at Wimbledon before in a semi, but at there stages of respective careers now it would be wonderful to see them in the Final.
A chance for Serena to gain revenge for that semi defeat too.

I've really gotten into it this year.Venus is one of my favorite players and I've watched all her matches in this tournament.They've not shown so much of Serena up until the last couple of rounds but she's looking in good form.I'm really hoping they both reach the final though as it makes for quite a spectacle.

Serena beat Venus two years in a row in the final of Wimbledon back in 2002-2003.It will be interesting to see the outcome if it happens this time around.

Been a good tournament up to now. Federer & Nadal have shown again what great players they are, both nice genuine guys off court as well as we see in their interviews. As for the womens tennis a Venus/Serena final would be great to watch. On/Off the court their also such likeable people.
