    That Depeche Mode when we score!!
    It really helped Djokovic being totally hammered in 2 challenge matches against Parsley Phillips straight after the French,he then knew the level he had to get back to!

    A very decent game here between the 'British' Johanna Konta, now called Jo to make her seem more British and Simona Halep. Halep had her knockers, but isn't half as fun to watch since she got rid of them.

    Murray and Konta. It is written in the stars.

    I don't mind Konta winning it but I can't stand Murray. I'm hoping Djokovic does it.
    I'd like to see Rybarikova win the women's though.

    Querry looking unsteady early. Murray cruises to 3-0 after an early break.

    Murray shouldn't have much trouble against Querry. He is such a great returner. As long as he keeps his focus this should be done in straight sets, 4 at the most.

    Quite a dull match to watch, so far.

    Exactly why I've switched to the ladies doubles.

    Murray a break up in the second set.

    Too easy.

    Andy has lost the plot after cruising at 3-4

    I'm sitting out the back watching on iplayer. It must be a good bit behind the telly.

    Murray was flying, easy as you can get then he just collapsed for some reason.

    He'll close out the 3rd and cruise the 4th IMO.

    The semi-final will be his Everest.

    Muller took the first set off Cilic as well, surprising after his epic match against Rafa.

    Cilic takes the second set tie break. You would imagine Muller will run out of steam and Cilic will come through it.

    Murray will regret letting this go four.

    I don't think he's in the right type of form to be winning it anyway.
