Yeah, Cilic really threw that away. He had two match points against the Federer second serve, both went to the exact same side that Federer had been going all match, and Cilic failed to get either return back in court. Dismal stuff.

I don't expect Raonic to be so sympathetic if he gets to the same position.

Murray wins a monster first set 7-6(10). Was 4-6 and 6-7 down in the tie-break.

What a sprint and pick up and controlled shot when he got there in the penultimate point of the rally.

That's why it is worth all the really hard work he puts in !!

Yep, very reminiscent of a certain point against Djokovic here 3 years ago.

Yeah gutted Cilic threw it away. The commies are making out that Fed 'came back' because he played well, not that he was let back in.

I just hope Milos and Fed knock each other into the ground.

Cummon Andy.

And they're changing channels again! Good old Auntie.

Well this isn't looking so good now. To be fair, JWT is on fire at the moment.

Tsonga playing out of his skin. Andy really blown this set though, got the break, threw it away, then had multiple break points but didn't do enough with them. Just far too passive all day really, and now he's paying the price.

When was the last time he lost from two sets up? Nalbandian 2005?

That's the one and only time.

Christ.

Bad timing, clashing with the football now cry

Cmon Andy finish it off now.

TMH · Futures qualifying

Looking much rosier now, up *5-0 in the fifth.

Andy got his @rse back in gear just in time! smile Cracking final set after the roller coaster third & fourth! I suppose he was due an "off" day. Luckily, it wasn't completely off! wink

QF: (2) Andy Murray WR 2 defeated (12) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA) WR 12 by 7-6(10) 6-1 3-6 4-6 6-1

*****

SF: (10) Tomas Berdych (CZE) WR 9 (CH = 4 in May last year) vs (2) Andy Murray WR 2

The head-to-head is 8-6 in Andy's favour, with Andy having won the last four, including that semi-final match at the AO last year. Interestingly, they've never yet met on grass...

Sim · County player

Phew! Glad that Andy wrapped up the 5th set so quickly, and didn't miss a goal in the football!

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

So mentally strong at the end. He willed himself through that 5th set.
