Murray-Dimitrov though.

Well there's the end of all that form Federer had since the USO. It's a great shame really that it had to be on a slam.

I just hope he doesn't take it too hard and make any drastic decisions because of it. If the last couple of months has shown us anything it's that he's still got it and can still ease though most players in the top 10.[/QUOTE

There is no way that I would back Fed in a slam these days as he chokes more often than Greg Norman

Murray-Dimitrov though.

The way they're both playing this year, I just don't see mr Sharapova doing well.

BTW, what a shocking last 16 this looks on both sides WTA ATP.

It all looks pretty straight-forward in both draws.

Mind you should make for some exciting Q-Fs.

Got to love that Seppi is still the outsider.

(I wouldn't recommend loading up, but the man's in form and wasn't all bad in 2013...)

Kyrgios stop being a dickhead please. Channeling inner early 2000s Hewitt. Not copping that.

Dimi, Nishi, Raonic, Stan and Berdych all alive on top of 3 of the big 4. Looks okay to me?

#nkrising serving like a beast all tournament. So clutch.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Kyrgios really is great to watch, crazy tilting and all. Hope this goes to a 5th.

 

[Jono]

This is so friggin tense.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

**** yeah.

Some great tennis already in Murray match from both. Long may it continue.

My point was that all the matches in the 16 looked like theyu're easy to predict. Did you read the post? I said the q-f's could be great, just this round looks a bit of a non-event with straight-forward wins, as has turned out mostly so far.

 

[Johnners]

Awesome from Kyrgios

 

[dermo]

kyrgios is almost as good at tennis as he is at being a ****, and what a **** he is

 

[Spikey]

he's just a flog, hewitt's got a bit of aussie battler about him, kyrgios just comes across as an entitled **** who thinks he's destined for greatness, similar to tomic

Hey bud you don't have to hate everybody with a Continental Europe heritage. You probably hate Simon Katich too

Right. Well we just had a 5 setter, Murray vs. Dimi is close, and Nishi vs. Ferrer is a good match-up who had tight matches last year. Don't really think its any worse than other Slams.

Edit: Also think Feli can push Milos. Different player last 18 months.

Could be wrong about this match, I'll admit. The 5-setter was the only match close in betting. I just personally thought the last 32 had better match-ups. So far the fave has won every match on both sides.

Edit, if this match carries on like this, I'm wrong anyway, one great match a round is fine.

 

[Jono]

That was a fun match to watch, but FMD Dimitrov loves choking at the Aust Open. Rafa last year and now Murray this year.

 

[Jono]

Cibulkova, what a pocket rocket. Great to watch.
