    Andy usually thrives on playing big hitters.

    Andy in 4 for me.

    Good opening service game for Andy. Couple of aces to help settle the nerves.

    Andy should take this guy. He's not got much more than that serve. These players have their bad service games though.

    That was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

    Andy was all over at least 3 of Kyrgios' service games.

    If the guy can't even rely on his serve then this could be a quick day at the office for Murray.

    Murray looking the best he has for a couple of years.

    Break up in the third set now. Murray giving this lad the absolute runaround.

    As easy a march to the semis as you will see.

    No sooner said that its too easy for Andy, he loses his serve. :smiley-laughing002:

    Surely just a blip though.

    Well that was a doddle. Just schooled Kyrgios from start to finish.

    Impressive stuff from Murray,keep his service game like that and he's got a great chance of going all the way.

    Easy peasy for Nole today. I reckon it's gonna be him and Murray in the final.

    I think Andy will beat the Birdman but I can't see him beating Djokovic.

    I hope to * I am wrong though.

    I can see him losing to Berdych, but if he wins, i can see him beating Djok....he has a good habit of learning and growing from past losses.Not saying i would put much on it, but i believe he will have a great chance if he gets to the final.

    He will never be as consistent as the other 3 big guys, (always liable to lose to lower ranked players)but i think he is up to beating Djok again if he gets past Berdych, as he has done in his 2 major wins.
