Had $5 on my boy Cilic!

YES!!!!

 

[Burgey]

Murray no doubt now back to being Scottish, rather than British.

Can't help but echo Simon's thoughts really.

 

[Jono]

Yeah I agree. Been favourite or second/third favourite for the last 4 Slams and has only made it to the semis once.

Disappointing.

Hilarious.

Fixed.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Real shame Pennetta will go out here, because she's been really good.

 

[Simon]

Good to see Gonzo take out Tsonga, he's quietly making his way through this draw, is a real chance at making the final imo.

 

[Jono]

Gonzo having a great tournament. Just beat Tsonga in 4.

Heard some shockers over the years, but Nicole Pratt's complete inability to pronounce any names has had me in stitches this fortnight. Personal favourite was the match between Monfillers and Asacuso.

Would fit right in at the SBS world sports news desk.

Am getting a massive feeling that this is going to be the end of Rafa's tournament today. I think his injury concerns will just be a bit too much against Monfils.

 

[Jono]

Monfils just took the first set in a tiebreak.

Can't not love Monfils. I'm so torn because I love Rafa, but Monfils was so cool when he had set point. Started telling the crowd to lift and pumping them up.

Such a cool cat.

 

[Jono]

RAFAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Dominating now.

 

[Simon]

Game over.

 

[Burgey]

Fed through in 4 v Soderling.

 

[Jono]

Anyone watching Rafa vs. Gonzo?

Awesome match so far. Two rain delays, and when Rafa was 7-6 and 5-4 up in the 2nd with set points, the wind started blowing ridiculously. Paper was coming on the court etc. including in the middle of one of the set points for Rafa.

Was crucial. Its 6-6 in the second now. Hope they come back on court tonight.

 

[Simon]

Interesting that Gonzo is paying $2.77 to win this second set despite it still being on serve in the tie break. Thats almost too good to turn down given tie breakers are generally 50/50

 

[biased indian]

think this match will be continued tomorrow now rite ???

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah I agree. Been favourite or second/third favourite for the last 4 Slams and has only made it to the semis once.

Disappointing.

Better than Roger Federer tbf. [/obnoxious gloat]

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Serena not exactly the most level headed player on tour when it comes to being down MPs, eh Jono?

 

[Uppercut]

Haha yeah. What a prat.
