I agree. Not dissapointing about this one tho. Actually a Murray match I can watch!

 

[SALTIRE]

Its going to fuck up my sleep patterns again trying to make this match. Definitely going to though as it could be a belter.

Rafa eases through to the QF. Anderson really troubled him in the first but completely capitulated after that.

 

[This Charming Mike]

Murray on next and at a decent time for us Brits! The scheduling has been awful so far but at least they've got this one right.

I'm still watching the kyrgios game, going into a 5th now... Bloody good game!

 

[SALTIRE]

Aye it is I'm putting it on instead of Andy just now it's turning into a cracker. You have to love Kyrgios youthful exuberance and talent.

 

[This Charming Mike]

I've got Andy on the TV and Kyrgios on a stream on my laptop.

 

[This Charming Mike]

Kyrgios break early in the fifth. Momentum firmly with him now.

Andy started slowly and was broken early but has responded well and leveled things back up.

 

[SALTIRE]

"Hey, where you going!?!"

 

[This Charming Mike]

Murray takes the first set!

 

[JonBCFC]

Kids have got the TV, so in stuck with a stream! Well recovered in that set by Murray.

 

[Master D]

Thought this was going to be straight sets Dimitrov the way he started, great response from Murray to win the set.

 

[SALTIRE]

Fair play to Seppi he has remained ice cool despite losing a 2 set lead and going a break down in the fifth. He has clawed it back though and this match is again now anyone's

 

[Master D]

Murray breaks. Super stuff from the Scot.

 

[JonBCFC]

Some great serving from kyrgios there, thought seppi was taking control there.

 

[This Charming Mike]

Big hold from Kyrgios. Was in danger of completely throwing that away.

 

[SALTIRE]

Still watching the other match it's great stuff even though Kyrgios looks to be fatiguing.

 

[Master D]

Break back Dimi.

 

[JonBCFC]

Wow! Fair play to kyrgios he looked knackered! Great character from the youngster to come back from 2 sets down.

 

[SALTIRE]

Fantastic stuff from Kyrgios there great to see. He's a rough diamond but well worth a watch and he has a great future in the game. Gimme players like him and Dimitrov over servebots like Raonic any time.

 

[This Charming Mike]

That was a great match. I just love watching Kyrgios play, he's a showman and a rarity in the modern game.

 

[SALTIRE]

Andy breaks again. His speed around the court if anything is even faster than it was, incredible.

 

[Master D]

Murray DF on BP. TB.

FFS.

 

[This Charming Mike]

What a point!!!!!!

 

[SALTIRE]

What is Andy doing here he is far too effin defensive!!!!

 

[Master D]

1-1.

 

[SALTIRE]

Deserved to lose that set
Where is the driving backhands he's been playing all tournament. This getting it back in play and letting Dimitrov dominate is a losing strategy.

 

[Master D]

It's fine playing a conservative game and waiting for mistakes against the lower players but against the top guys it simply does not work as they make hardly any unforced errors.

I really enjoy watching Dimitrov play. Hope he goes all the way. Somehow.
