Muller now serving for a 2 sets to love lead against Nadal.

Sim · County player

Starting to look good for Andy's route to the final Querrey into 5th set (now 5-3 up in 5th) and Nadal 2 sets down.......

Who's the other player in Murray's half of the draw besides Querrey and Muller/Nadal?

Cilic.

QF: (1) Andy Murray WR 1 vs (24) Sam Querrey (USA) WR 28 (CH = 17 in January 2011)

The head-to-head is 7:1 in Andy's favour, the solitary Querrey win being on hard courts in Los Angeles in 2010, the year of their only encounter at Wimbledon which Andy won by 5, 3 & 4 (last 16). Andy also beat him by 4, 2 & 4 in the last 32 of this year's Oz Open.

Watching Nadal match online simultaneously with commentary on, Jamie Baker is a great pundit some fantastic analysis of Nadal to do with his style and shot selection. Puts Castle to shame, why do we pay our TV license to listen to him?

Agree, Jamie is excellent.

Cilic.

Ah yes, of course.

Not sure which of Nadal or Cilic I'd prefer on grass, to be honest. Cilic is arguably top 5 on grass. Of course Andy has to get past Querrey first, which will be no easy feat - he seems to be in decent form.

I'd go for Muller myself ( one game apiece in the final set vs Nadal ).

In the bottom half :

Berdych beat Thiem 6-3 in the fifth.
Federer seems to be closing in vs Dimitrov 6-4 6-2 4-2*
Sascha Zverev leads Raonic 6-4 5-7 6-4 *1-2

indiana · Tennis legend

Fed not so much closing in, broken for 4-4*

indiana · Tennis legend

Order was restored and Federer won 6-4 6-2 6-4

Nadal *3-4 final set.

indiana · Tennis legend

Nadal vs Muller 6-6*

How long before they decide to start Djokovic vs Mannarino on Centre ??

Sim · County player

Nadal vs Muller is turning into a classic 7-7. Rafa saved 2 match points earlier.

With rain forecast tomorrow seems a no brainier to move Novak to centre. They will be lucky to get through 2 sets on No.1 assuming this match finishes soon......
