He must have heard me, some fightback, he must take the set now.

This has become a bit of a walkover, really. Cilic has never recovered from losing the second set.

Great comeback from Murray. Now he is up against a guy he often struggles with in Berdych. The good thing for Murray is that when he has struggled against Berdych in the past it has usually been to him playing to negatively and letting Berdych dictate with his power, but Murray has really pushed on since then. Should be a good match, but you just never know which Berdych will turn up, the man who can beat anyone with power, or the guy who can lose to anyone with lots of unforced errors.

The disappointment of not getting to see Andy Roddick's wife at tournaments anymore is somewhat tempered by Berdych's girlfriend.

I know I said it about the Raonic match, but I am very nervous about the Berdych match. Bit of a bogey man for Murray. Like IOMLS said though you never know which Berdych will turn up.

Hope your concern has the same effect again. (y)

Djokovic was absolutely majestic tonight, at the peak of his powers.

Straight sets victory 6-2, 7-6, 6-4 against Del Potro. And that's without the scoreline telling the whole story because Del Potro was playing brilliant tennis at times.

Murray - Berdych at 4pm ( UK ) today, followed by Ferrer - Djokovic

Not sure the early start time will help Murray, hopefully he's fully awake

What kind of idiots schedule a tennis match to start at 11am when they'll be playing during the hottest part of the day? Especially this late in the tournament?

The same idiots who also stage the Mens semi finals and Finals on consecutive days.

Shit, Murray drops the first set.

The wind is absolutely destroying this match as a spectacle. It's one of the scruffiest I can remember. Andy not handling it well.

Murray well in charge now, 1-1 in sets and he is 3-0 up with 2 breaks in the 3rd
