Murray looks absolutely gassed. Can he really go another 2 sets at least here? Clever decision by the French to put a grinder like Simon in with a tired Murray.

 

[The Iron]

Excellent from Murray. GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[This Charming Mike]

HUGE set to win. Andy's been outplayed for nearly two sets but finds himself level. Still far too many unforced errors but momentum has to be his going forward.

 

[Dazza]

Good comeback by Murray.Long way away but fancy us to beat the Aussies In the semi final.

 

[Super_horns]

Bring on the Aussies?!

At Wimbledon or Queens?

 

[DarkSithLord]

Bring on the Aussies?!

At Wimbledon or Queens?

Anywhere but Lords.

 

[Dazza]

Think i heard on the tv earlier it will be in Birmingham or Glasgow.

 

[SALTIRE]

Andy doesn't half put you through it does he! What a lad though, looking down and out at a set and a break down, but he came storming back and puts GB into the semi's - amazing!

I'm a bit late, but well done to Kyle Edmund and Johanna Konta for winning titles and moving up the rankings.
From BBC sport.

Britons Kyle Edmund and Johanna Konta both won titles on Sunday to move closer to the top 100 in the men's and women's rankings respectively.

Edmund, expected to be world 104 when the rankings are published on Monday, beat American Bjorn Fratangelo 6-2 6-3 to win the Binghamton Challenger.

Konta won the Granby National Bank Challenger in Canada, overcoming France's Stephanie Foretz 6-2 6-4.

The 24-year-old is expected to move to 113 in the rankings on Monday.

Edmund is actually 103.

Kyrgios is a bit of a twat isn't he?

 

[Dazza]

Yep.Should concentrate on his tennis.Surely the ATP will take action against him.

 

[SALTIRE]

Only heard about this today. That us uncalled for. I've defended his rants and expletives in the past but he does need to be sent a message that this behaviour won't be tolerated on the tour. Perhaps Hewitt will have a word in his ear too.

Watched Andy last night playing some fine stuff against Robredo especially on match point. Anyone know how he got on against Jamie in the doubles?

 

[allouso]

What a prick.

 

[Master D]

No doubt he'll be regarded as bit of a "character" and we will be told that there aren't enough characters in tennis. In reality, he's a c*** with a big attitude problem.

QUITE RIGHT TOO

I'M SMILING ABOUT IT

[Who Needs Mourinho]

I should imagine a lot of the dressing room will start to give him the cold shoulder after this,maybe then it will start to sink in for him what a wanker he has been.

 

[Super_horns]

Big John Isner kept him quiet tonight with a quick straight sets win...

Murray comfortably though.

 

[SALTIRE]

Missed Andy's match with Muller earlier, but by all accounts it was comfortable.

Jamie beat him in the doubles though!

 

[SALTIRE]

Kyrgios brother is also a bit of a dick. He has put this up on Facebook today :

“So just did a media interview for Nick [Kyrgios]. Said Donna [Vekic] obviously loved the ‘kokk’ [sic]. They cut my interview and said its the worst thing they have ever heard on air. Ah cheers.”

 

[Munkiki]

Isner loves his tiebreaks don't he?

 

[SALTIRE]

Isner loves his tiebreaks don't he?

I was thinking that watching the match. He seems to be involved in more tiebreaks than anyone on tour. Perhaps its because he has a very difficult serve to break, yet is a pretty poor returner off his opponent's serve; and hence the games inevitably end up heading towards tiebreaks. Anyway, he got knocked out tonight. I shouldn't really like Isner's style, but somehow I do and I don't mind watching him at all.

 

[SALTIRE]

6/3 6/0 for Andy against Kei. I saw the first set, went into the other room for 10 minutes, come back and it was over!

He moves into the top 2 with that result. Next up its Nole!

 

[The Iron]

Well done to Murray on reaching another final and he will play against Djokovic, and he will be number two in the rankings on Monday. Hopefully he will get one over Djokovic. Come on Andy!!

 

[Master D]

The closest Hawkeye decision you could possibly get.

 

[Master D]

This umpire is a joke.

First set Murray, 6-4. Djokovic struggling with the heat once again.

 

[Super_horns]

Or is it a funny smell?

Murray breaks in the final set..

 

[Master D]

Murray holds in a 20 min game. Fuck me, he's having to run a million miles to keep Djokovic at bay.
