And Tsonga in the quarters. Nole give a very good impression of tanking that match for some reason - he just didn't seem to care at all.

Nole made the fatal mistake of getting married. It's all down hill now.

What a turn of events in Andy's quarter of the draw! biggrin

L16: (8) Andy Murray WR 9 "defeated" (12) Richard Gasquet (FRA) WR 13 by a walkover wink No wonder the match never came up on bet365!

******

QF: (13) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) WR 15 vs (8) Andy Murray WR 9

The head-to-head on the main tour is 9-1 in Andy's favour, five of those nine coming on hard courts. JWT's solitary win was also on hard: that infamous victory in the first round of the Oz Open in 2008!

Top half even more topsy turvy as Anderson has knocked out Wawrinka.

Ah, that Gasquet / Djokovic / Wawrinka / Federer route...

...maybe time for Fed to be getting worried :)

Quite! It's such unexpected turns of fate that feed our addiction, I think. Dimi immune, however: defeated Robredo in three...

Andy v Tsonga is scheduled for not before 6pm UK time tonight. I'll have to persuade the other half to have his dinner a bit early (I can't get away with altering the clock, it's radio controlled).

My first thought was also 'sport!'. Hopefully Tsonga doesn't install that thought in my head tonight:)

Is this the first time Murray has come out in the kinetic tape or whatever it's called ?

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

I haven't seen it before. And his dodgy knee is the other one, isn't it?

Armchair · County player

That was what I was trying to work out Madeline. Used to the ankle braces this is a new one to worry about !

BeefyDeedz · Pro player

He's looked pretty solid but I'm not really seeing a weapon. I used to be pretty confident that he could capitalise on opportunities such as a short return but I haven't been since his return from injury. Tsonga's serve has been great though.
