I didn't see it, but if Cilic took Djokovic to 5 then he wasn't as imperious as he was in his last match, and he's beatable. Favorite, certainly, but beatable. Going to be a good semi, and I suspect the final will be against Rog. I think Raonic will beat Kyrgios and lose the semi.

Federer/Raonic will be changing of the guard. Raonic has a real future.

If he's going to beat Federer today what he needs is a real present, and I'm not convinced he's there yet. I'm going for Roger in 4 sets, at least 2 of them tie breaks.

Poor tiebreak by Dimitrov. Needs something special to get out of this now. Djokovic in 4, for me.

I think that is the worst service game I have every seen a professional tennis player serve from Dimitrov.

Heartbreak for Eugenie Bouchard and all of us Canadians. Still well done Genie.

Djokovic is looking very strong today so far. Federer needs a better length on the ground shots if he's going to stop him.

My money's still on Djokovic, though I'd love to see Federer do it.

What an epic final

Two great players playing some fantastic tennis worthy of a final. Really could have gone either way in the last set.

Unbelievable from Djokovic considering the crowd didn't help him at all for the second year in a row.

He deserved to win - some of his returns of excellent Federer serves were simply breathtaking - but he's never going to be lived like Rog.

Murray looked good today from what I saw, but Djokovic looked better. Murray still has to improve but I'd love to see him get to the O2. Not easy though!
