Have zero financial interest in these quarters, but will admit to telling someone of all the favs today, Cilic was the least likely to lose.

Don't put me in charge of Brexit if you are reading this Theresa.

So...Cilic down a set...not inspirational play yet from him..

Watching Murray instead, Cilic still win?

 

[vogue]

Cilic really doesn't look as if he's come to the game as yet...working his way up I guess..

 

[vogue]

4-4 and Cilic saves from going down 5-3... turning point maybe..
In other news..Have been racking my brains as to who Muller looks like... Vin Diesel...! Lol...

 

[vogue]

Cilic gets the second set...great play now..

 

[Niall]

Super shot from Cilic to secure a must win set in the tie break.

Murray went to sleep in the second set after a break something which he has been guilty of so often in his career, still should be ok though.

 

[Niall]

Low level stuff this from Murray.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Murray's looking pretty bad

 

[vic_orthdox]

Yeah, looks cooked here.

Will probably turn it on in the last, but just getting by at the moment.

Murray is clearly not fully fit. He's conserving himself for the fifth, quite clearly. At this rate, he might not even get to serve first in the decider.

 

[vcs]

He usually covers the court with absolute ease, barely moving or putting anything into his serve ATM.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Thoght he might've been tanking it towards the end of the 4th set to conserve energy for the 5th, but it's continuing now. Concerning.

 

[vcs]

Definite physical issues.

Might be a good idea to take a couple of months or even the rest of the year off, heal properly and come back. Worked for Fed/Nadal. Understand why he'd have been desperate to play Wimbledon though, even at <100%, defending the title and all that.

 

[vogue]

Switched over to the Murray match as I feel Cilic has got his match covered..looking bad for Murray...has he given up here..

Take nothing away from how Querrey's played, he's been flawless.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yep looks done. Going to need an immense choke from Querrey from here.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Take nothing away from how Querrey's played, he's been flawless.

He's had two 5 setters already before today too.
