    Murray outstanding today again!! However he tends to struggle against wawrinka even though his record against Stan is 8 - 7....will be a great game....hopefully it's andy's year:50:

    I think Andy should have too much for Stan in all honesty. It's the mental aspects of it that could harm Murray, he's never won a French open semi-final before so it's a barrier he'll have to overcome.

    Good point.
    Hmm, i know AM is very good on fast courts, but he said he felt better when the conditions were heavier (and slower) against Isner, and im sure i heard him mention something similar in Rome last week.

    She's no Genie Bouchard but still, I like her.

    Laura Robson is top for me, though.

    Think Djokovic is another one who loses the head too much, just seen him again there throwing his racket after losing a point against Berdych, despite the fact he's two sets up and cruising.

    Only difference is Djokovic completely resets his brain for the next point and doesn't let it affect him.

    Play suspended in the Djokovic-Berdych match, with Djokovic 2 sets up and the score level at 3-3 in the third.

    Always funny how Berdych seems to match the top players all throughout matches when it comes to rallys, but always seems to lose a few crucial points that costs him the match.

    Djokovic getting the key break there. Yet again Berdych looks well in the set and then crumbles in one random service game.

    I really actually dislike Djokovic. He tries too hard to be liked (which always arouses suspicions) and then uses every trick in the book to get the win.
    I would never ever trust him as a friend or colleague.

    Know exactly what you mean, think he would be a more controversial character if he lost more.

    Andy knows all about him, but is too decent to make a fuss! We all have 'friends' like that! Guys you are friendly with, but wouldnt trust when push came to shove.

    I bet he would trust Nadal more!

    Djokovic reminds me of Schumacher!!! Brilliant, and a genius, but no * truly likes him!

    Andy Murray knows exactly what Novak is all about, let's not beat about the bush.

    Why did Boris Becker lose the rag with Andy's comments on PED's in tennis when it was just a general comment about doping and he took it personally about his own charge?

    Everyone knows who Novak Djokovic is.
