Yeah, Edmund has been fantastic in the second set. Massively impressed with some of his shots.

Good to see another Brit coming along though..

To be fair to Castle he was a decent presenter on breakfast tv when he did it, not that that is setting the bar very high seeing as we now have Piers Morgan doing it over here.

The First4Lawyers advert was cringeworthy though.

I've never understood the theory behind having someone so divisive for breakfast TV or radio. But they keep on doing it, in different countries... I dunno.

Cilic giving Murray a bit of a run for money this second set.. 5-3 up... Getting interesting..

Murray just going up another gear to get to the final. Cilic playing well but Murray showed class,his returns on serve just breathtaking.

ZVEREV BABY!

Such a good win over Fed, he is great to watch. Unfortunately Thiem lost to Mayer as that would have been a good final.

Just thinking it will be funny if Raonic gets through against Tomic (not a given ), the two coaches being Lendl and McEnroe ... A great rivalry existed between the two ...

 

[Jono]

Kyrgios in the crowd watching Tomic. Non-Aussie commentators discussing them. Love how baffled they are by them both

 

[vogue]

Hewitt might be doing some good there for Tomic and Kyrgios?

 

[vogue]

Not the most exciting of matches..

Yeah Fed isn't doing much at Wimbledon this year...too far away from where he needs to contend...

 

[vogue]

Looking to see if Raonic comes more into the net with the influence of his coach,and whether he's going to bother Murray more ...

Florian Mayer (ATP-192) about to win his first title in five years (and his only other one was a Tiriac tinpot over Andujar in Bucuresti)

Fmd Halle/Westfalen is grim when Federer isn't at his best

Don't feel Federer will be going too far at Wimbledon this year

Some great tennis here from both guys, Raonic coming into the net more,and just taken the first set in a tie- break.
McEnroe definitely having an influence on his game. Could see Raonic being a contender at Wimbledon for sure.

 

[vogue]

Raonic 3-0 up in the second...he's in the zone...

 

[vogue]

Murray breaks Raonics serve..2-3 and Murray serving..such good tennis atm

I love Murray, that second set fight back was brilliant.

Who cares if he can't beat a once in a lifetime tennis God. He's still a champ.

He ended up still winning but you went early here!

What I love to see is when any sportsperson gets into the 'zone' for want of a better word..beautiful to watch
Murray up 2-0 in the third.

Lendl in three sets over McEnroe eh #narratives
