That's a terrific win for Djokovic.

Murray has a piss-easy draw.. Prodon(who?), Bollelli, Berrer, Troicki, and Chela/Kubot/Falla in a Grand Slam QF. Not his fault though.

Novak's backhand is by far the best shot in tennis. What a freak.

12 months ago this guy couldn't serve.

Novak's backhand is by far the best shot in tennis. What a freak.

12 months ago this guy couldn't serve.

Indeed, his serve and forehand have come on by leaps and bounds since then. Think he's finally got adjusted to the racquet change he made a couple of years back, after which he made a lot of unnecessary changes to his game.

Wawrinka will forever be Fed's bitch.

This is a demolition similar to the Australian Open. Great tennis from the Fedex.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Any chance of Fognini/Montanes?

 

[Jono]

Of course as I post that Wawrinka is Fed's bitch he breaks him in the 3rd set

 

[Jono]

Fed breaks back.

Meanwhiel Fognini now serving for the match at 10-9 vs. Montanes.

Montanes led 2 sets to 1 and also served for the match earlier in the 5th set. He will be shattered if he loses this.

Guga stiff not to get a wildcard into the draw imo.

 

[morgieb]

Oh boy. Fogini in the QF's. And one of Chela/Falla to join him. Wow.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Will be spewin' if Chela makes a quarter final. What a ****.

Meanwhile Fognini into a GS quarter final! Amazing!

 

[Jono]

Don't be Fognini haters. Made an epic come back vs. Monfils last year:

Winner!

Blew a kiss at the crowd after he won

Was such a good match last year

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Smooth.

 

[benchmark00]

Smooth.

It's either the pleats, or he has a massive erection.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Djokovic def. Fognini by walkover. Disappointing.

 

[Jono]

**** that is ****house. Fognini should have ****ing lost then.

WAC

 

[Jono]

Chela wins.

Another ****.

 

[Jono]

Come on Monfils, one more game!

 

[Jono]

****ing Monfils. From 5-2 to up he was cruising and then he tightened up like a bitch when serving for it, even with him getting two free points on his serve and an unbelievable error from Ferrer to gift him two match points.

6-6 now, with Ferrer saving another match point on his serve.

Ferrer is such a beast. Never gives up. Gotta respect him.

 

[Jono]

Wow, Ferrer just threw that away after fighting so hard to come back.

Awesome result though, just because Monfils has to tendency to trouble Federer. I daresay he has very little chance of winning considering the form Fed is in and the fact he's had to play today due to the bad light yesterday, but it'll be a more entertaining battle than if Ferrer had gotten through. Plus it'll be good to see a Frenchie in the quarters at home.

I probably would like Federer to get through anyway, because there's no way in hell Monfils can beat Djokovic, even if he beat Federer. Whereas Djokovic vs. Federer sounds incredibly tasty considering the tennis they are both playing (both a level above Rafa right now).

You have to seriously wonder if Murray was faking that ankle injury.

Was 0-5 down and struggling with his ankle injury from the last match. I was sure he was going to retire, considering Wimbledon is so near.

Instead he comes back to 4-5 and now has a break point to make it 5-5.

Wtf is going on.
