Rog beat Oz Brat 3 & 4 to set up this SF. If memory serves, the pair haven't met since the Indian Wells semi in March, when Andy's win in three sets made the head-to-head 6-2 in his favour. Could be interesting. Not sure I want to predict a winner, especially after Andy's performance & poor ser...

The Frenchman's made the most of his LL berth, courtesy of JMDP's withdrawal on ground of fatigue! He's reached the QF by beating, somewhat surprisingly, IMHO, Jürgen Melzer &, earlier today, GGL, but is probably "cruisin' for a bruisin'" agin Andy, who hasn't yet dropped a set. ...

This is a bit strange, I can't find anything about it in the tennis news, but I have just received an email from the ATP inviting me to buy tickets, because Murray has definitely qualified now. It was fairly obvious that he would, but it is good to have confirmation!
Suprisingly enough a buynch of US juniors, Dent, Gooch and an unnamed French man. Why oh why oh why can't we get Wimbledon to offer an exchnge seeing as we give a WC to an American every year
Second on court after Federer vs. Ferrer, so probably on around 1900 UK time. Murray and Stepanek have met twice before, with Murray winning both matches and has never dropped a set to him. Would expect that to continue today with a similar kind of score to the Almagro match.
Once again, Murray is in Federer's half, but once again should have a reasonably easy path, at least until the quarter finals. Begins against either Dudi Sela or Nicolas Almagro, and then in round three one of Safin/Ginepri/Troicki/Stepanek, so you can't really see him not making the last eight. Pr...
Here, belatedly, is news of a third British title last week, to go with the two in Portugal. Sophie Morrill, a former hitting partner of Laura Robson, has won her first ITF title, and also reached the doubles final.

Almagro beat Sela 6-4 1-0 retired! He & Andy have met only once before, with Almagro emerging as the victor in four sets in the last 32 at Roland-Garros last year. Time for revenge, methinks, especially on what is arguably Andy's favourite surface... -- Edited by Stircrazy on Monday 17th of Aug...
