good to hear that theres some sportsmen left after that fucking disgrace last night - made me think about boycotting rest of World Cup in disgust (ive limited it to a Uruguay boycott for now).

I think it was a biting disgrace. I mean, even Suarez must draw the line somewhere!

Love watching Tsonga play angry.

Djokovic willl win wimbledon.

I'm thinking of putting a grand on it.

I'm thinking of putting a grand on it.

He looked very very good against Tsonga; much better than Murray did against Anderson. But you can't guarantee the form of either will last, especially if they do get to play each other - Djokovic doesn't like the crowd against him. Having said that Murray's got his hardest match coming up and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Dimitrov beat him.

Rafa might have something to say about your grand, and Federer may yet have one last hurrah in him. On current form though I'd agree with you.

On this form, going to take something special for Andy to beat Djokovic, but I think he can do it. IF he can get past Dimitrov (which I believe he will, in straight sets).

You're much more confident than I am about Andy beating Dimitrov. I can see it going all 5 sets.

Fair enough. Will be a cracking game. I just think Andy Will have too much. We shall see.

I see Serena has pulled out of the doubles with an injury.

I believe they call it losing.

Looks like Nadal is going out

She looks extremely unwell. Hope it's nothing serious.

Kyrgios is playing the match of his life, and Rafa looks strangely lethargic today. But even now (4-1 down in the 4th) I wouldn't bet against him.

The young guys serve is just too powerful to break

 

[nidge]

Is that Nadal out?

 

[YidNick]

Is that Nadal out?

Yep

 

[mpickard2087]

If he keeps serving like that then he has as good a chance as anyone... I know Nadal isn't the same beast on grass but he was frequently battering him into submission.

 

[tototoner]

Can see him getting to final but whoever wins the semi between Murray and Djokovic will win the tournament

 

[BSJ93]

Great game, haven't had a chance to watch much this week but sat down today and watched the Sharapova game, as well as the Nadal game.

Couldn't have asked for much more!

 

[Arnoldtoo]

Four fascinating quarters today, though I expect Djokovic to win easily (as I suspect does Cilic). Wouldn't want to call Murray / Dimitrov or Federer / Wawrinka, though I favour the first in each of those. And I think Kyrgios has to suffer some sort of a reaction, and Raonic, serve and all, is no mug, so I'm going for Raonic.

 

[dagraham]

Looks like Lisicki is on her way out. Damn shame

 

[tototoner]

This will be a bigger test for Murray
