Andy Murray looked absolutely knackered last night. I can't see him winning.

Plus Djockovic has had a quiet week, just when he needed a busy one.

O RLY?

Going by the scoreline against Dimitrov he's in fine form tonight. 6-1 3-0... I'd be watching if it wasn't a school night and I want to be up early to train if possible.

Didn't he just. He blew Dimitrov away in a truly impressive performance.

And again, the Curse of Djokovic is invoked, and JW Tsonga retires hurt after 2 sets.

How can he have gone from that first set to this?

I'd be happy with del Potro, Nishikori or Monfils winning it, in that order. Wawrinka if it's the only way it's not Djokovic.

Oops, thus could be in the Paralympics thread.

i was enjoying that, but finally fell asleep about 3 games into the 3rd set. Looked like the Frenchies were finally getting on top of us  :-\

It's an interesting game to watch. Same - well almost - rules, yet totally different game. I still haven't got used to the effects of the two-bounce rule; I suspect on a surface like grass (more attacking game, shorter points) it would be more like "regular" tennis, and perhaps better balanced. And that may only apply for doubles - I haven't watched any singles properly yet.

Volleying seemed almost futile.

Despite not having got my eye in, I was enjoying the match!

Phew, one set all now...

He wasn't there.

Poor guy, he's knackered. He did well to keep going this weekend after that lengthy match on Friday.
