2+ hours for the 5th set ... ouch lol

Some good tennis today. Congrats to Raonic on getting to the quarters. Also that Nadal/Muller match was awesome and a reason why tennis is a pretty good sport to watch.

I think Federer's entire match lasted just over 90 minutes.

/98 minutes to be exact.

It's really nice to see that falling behind two sets to one is no longer a guaranteed loss for Raonic. Just a few years ago I thought it was win in 4 or bust. So, his mental fortitude has definitely improved.

Should be a good match against Federer. He'll have the confidence having beat him in a great match last year, but I think Fed's tennis is a little better now.

Meanwhile, the draw has really opened up for Murray....

Upset alert - Nadal is trailing two sets to love to Gilles Muller.

Technically, maybe, but Nadal hasn't gotten to the QF stage in 6 years now.

/Things I wish someone had pointed out to me yesterday!

No stopping her now.

too soon into the intersection ?

Raonic/Federer is tomorrow. Should be a good match. Raonic beat Federer last year at Wimbledon, no reason he can't do so again this year.

I thought Murray would dispatch Querrey in a hurry, but a flurry of fine tennis from Sam give Andy some worry and a fifth set in front of judge and jury.

Andy got blown off the court by Sam in those last two sets (6-1 and 6-1)

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Oh my.

Let's go Berdych?
