Deadset if you have QF tickets at Wimby at court 1, you'd think you'd get better matches than two serve-bots and Pouille vs. the Czech flash **** (as Kim would say)

To be fair the Vesnina v Cibby and Venus v Shvedova were no crackers either Yesterday on the same court.

I haven't seen much of Pouille, would like him to win as Berdych bores the absolute arse of me.

Also will say the price of Murray betting wise is absolutely demented, 1/10 with most bookies. Insanity, Tsonga deserves more respect than that on grass

Amazing that Fed can still do this at his age.

Cilic is a known bottler tbf. And he's a doper. so little sympathy

Summed up perfectly there.

Best match of Wimbledon. They were sooo good... Would suck balls if Federer lost to Raonic now though.

Haha yeah this one is particularly ridiculous. But every underdog today was way too long. Even Querrey and Cilic (losses notwithstanding) were silly odds.

Loved the match. One of Federer's greatest performances. You don't reach a semi so close to your 35th birthday. Too good.

 

[Pratters]

Good one. Why does Federer keep getting my hopes up haha. He'll probably end up losing tamely in the next round or the final.

Yeah, I still don't think he will win the whole thing. But my hopes are increasing too.

So home for the Tsonga Murray match having missed one of the best matches it seems. Good on Federer. He keeps moving further on to the final.
Like Tsonga. But fancy Murray really .

 

[Jono]

hope Tsonga puts up a good fight here.

Connors reached a US Open semi at 39, and Agassi made a US Open final in 2005 at 35, where Federer beat him in a tough match. But yeah, it is pretty fantastic. Hopefully he can make it to the final.

Murray looks off so far, and Tsonga is playing pretty well. Missed a couple of chances to break back.

Brilliant point there to break back..

 

[Niall]

Its been pretty close this Murray match, be very interesting to see what happens if Tsonga was to win this set.

Pouille pretty much dead against Berdych in the other quarter, some moments of fun, but not exactly a classic whatsoever.

Pathetic from Pouille. What a tragedy that he beat a tired Delpo.

Aye, I'd have preferred Tomic to be in this match instead which is something I never thought I would type.

 

[vcs]

What a point! Bad miss after that.

I was also disappointed that Delpo lost to him, but getting this far is not a bad effort. Obviously he was going to be gassed after that match vs. Tomic.

Murray v Tsonga is great fun.

Why? Berdych played 5 sets too and even played yesterday.

 

[Jono]

Muzz is amazing but we needed Tsonga to win that set. I fear this runs away from Tsonga now. He had his chances too but Muzz is just a freak athlete.

 

[vcs]

Been awesome so far, but get the feeling losing that set after playing so well might take the wind out of Tsonga's sails. I'd expect him to have a letdown now.
