Raonic, if he and Federer both got through, would be Federer's SF opponent, not QF. QF would be, as drawn, either Cilic or Nishikori.

Ah yes, if you meant my post, I realised and changed reference to Raonic in Fed's quarter to dangers in his half.

Andy's next opponent is Kyrgios or Lopez and it seems exceedingly optimistic to start them on Court One after 7.30.

Shouldn't in my view be starting a best of 5 men's match, particularly such a likely competitive one, with almost certainly less than two hours available, especially now with Sunday play.

Where are you seeing that information? I can't find order of play for Sunday or Monday yet. It's particularly interesting to me as I have a Court 1 ticket for Tuesday and a held over Murray match would be a huge bonus !

Indi is talking about today. Lopez v Kyrgios has already started but unless there is a thrashing either way, it is unlikely to finish tonight. Kyrgios leads 6-3 *2-3 at the moment.

Edit

Should also add that today's OoP wasn't released until after 10pm last night. The players were all complaining about it.

It's one set each and play stopped for the evening.

Me I hope it is a Murray v Sock or Istomin final. I just want him to win another 4 matches, the poorer the opposition the better, although I really enjoyed the fight the mailman put up at the end of the 2nd.

Good to see John progressing on the main tour.

Thanks for clarifying that Bob. I increasingly find myself getting the 'wrong end of the stick' these days

Generally agree, just saying if someone could guarantee Andy would win it ( ! ) I'd love it to be against Fed.

You need new alternative final opposition though since both Sock and Istomin are out.

The Kyrgios vs Lopez resumption ( stopped at one set all 6-3 6-7(2) ) is second on Court One following Stephens vs Kuznetsova, which is due to start proceedings on Sunday at 11.30

I can't believe everyone is puzzled by Novak's performance yesterday, to me it is obvious, Ivan (I don't do any technical coaching) Lendel has got his dolls out and is working his psychological voodoo.

Don't be surprised if Nick the Greek doesn't melt into a psychological pool of gue on court in the next round and Rodge start to develop a severe allergy to his head band. It is very exciting how the second week is shaping up, the old establishment is wilting with only Andy and Fed left and the later just back from injury and a couple of lost skirmishes with the young guns. Is a new world order beginning to take shape?

Did anyone else think that Nole had 'normal' eyes in his presser? Not his bulging ones as of late.

I wondered whether he'd had to stop using his pod for health reasons, and his lack of form was due to withdrawal symptoms. Add to that any health worries that would have led him to stop using his pod.

Well done, JWT (12), on finally overcoming Isner (18) by 19-17 in the fifth set after four hours & 24 minutes! biggrin
