Murray could be fortunate and win the tournament by default by avoiding his bogey player. ;)

Federer is rightly viewed as being arguably the best player to have ever lived. Murray regularly wakes up with a pan handle having just dreamt of being thought of in the same way. ;)

And there's the bitterness. Didn't take much to show the bias under the surface in your posts there Pags did it. Tut tut ;)

Both Querrey and Federer taken the 3rd but still think both will lose..

Fed about to serve to stay in the match. Hold your breath, Pags... your boyfriend's on the ropes!

I make no secret that I'm a fan of Federer, him and Djokovic are the two best players ever. As for bitterness, I'm a bit confused what there is to be bitter about.

Cillc certainly had his chances in the 4th.

Might break him mentally if he loses it.

Federer shows his class and experience. Hell be knackered for this 5th though.

Fed through to his 11th Wimbledon semi in 5 sets, saving 3 match points in the process. What a player.

That 5 setter will take it out of him but he's still my favourite for the title. This will only have made him stronger mentally.

That five setter could come back to haunt him.

Murray is a cracking player, but that ugly, shouty, square mouthed face shit he pulls whenever he wins a point makes me want to punch him. I admire him as a tennis player, but I find it incredibly difficult to like the guy or root for him.

Yeah, fuck off.

He's so comfortable out there. Is he going to drop a set this tournament? May try and find odds for that.

He's no different to any other winning tennis player in that regard. Federer shouts out on big points that he wins as well as does Djokovic. Can't remember if Nadal does tbh as I've not watched him in about three years.

This guy used to always do this as well on every single point

They all have their foibles and in Murray's case his outbursts are what he does to get himself going. More players should do that imo.

Just two double faults all tournament from Andy, wow. Grueling first set, comfortable second. Should see it out in three now.

Stop being so defensive Saltire. People should be allowed to criticise the dour, miserable cnut without you jumping to compare what's been criticised with others.

I like to see players show emotion after they win a crucial point. Nothing wrong with it at all and like you say, more players should do that. Murray does it more than most, but it's good to see IMO.

Tsonga playing some majestic stuff here. Murray gone from looking like having it easy to being on the verge of a 5th set. Come on Jo.

That was eventful but got through in the end.

Centre court certainly got value for money !

Well, he made bloody hard work of that. Terrific willpower and determination in the end though. Gentle giant Berdych next, the final is within touching distance.

Mr Grumpy Berdych more like. Another tough match if Murray isn't on it but I still see him getting through it in 4.

Easy for Serena.

Bad news for Vesnina is she has to play her again in the doubles!

Women's tennis these days has to be one of the most boring sports in existence. Just compare what you had yesterday to what is on display today, it's almost comical.

Yet Djok/Muzz/Fed taking 2 hours to blast some over-matched schmoe off the court in straights is poetry in motion, a display of clinical sporting prowess, an apex predator in full flight, naturally.

These apples, they are not like those oranges.
