Ah, thank you, goldfish. I'd forgotten about Baghdatis and Karolina Sprem. And that in turn is a reminder that there's still the potential with Fognini and Pennetta.

Hmm. Wish it had been the other way around. Or even better yet that Simon was facing Djokovic. But can't complain too much.

So the guy Kyle beat just a week ago is in the semis of a Masters. Just goes to show little there really is in it.

And has just taken the 1st set off Djokovic 6-4

Clearly Djokivic's new found on-court relaxation technique of humming to himself between points isn't working as the racket then gets smashed on the ground.

And now has taken the 2nd as well by the same score.

Djokovic is OUT

And has also taken the second set 6-4.

That'll be game, set, match Bautista Agut

 

... err as you just heard.

Our Kyle has improved so much this year that he now poses a greater threat to the others than the world no.1 wink

I've got the impression Novak's been there to be taken the last few months if facing a very good player playing well, just must admit I didn't think 'Steady Eddie' Bautista Agut was one to do it. Well done, Roberto.

Likewise, Indy, there's been a vulnerability to Novak that we haven't seen for a while, but that must be the best win of RBA's career. Very pleased for him, and of course it opens up the possibility of a nice swing in the race for No. 1 spot biggrin

Do you suppose that if Mr Murray beats Gilles Simon, the ATP will put him as the featured item on their website? I've been slightly frustrated all week when I checked to see the results, to notice that AM's superb matches were generally a 2nd item, while Novak Djokovic's various struggles got centre stage every (relevant) day.

Andy wins 6-4 6-3 and we thus have the story set for the day, RBA beating Djokovic
