[Deutsch Wolf]

Excellent win for Murray over Del Potro. 7-6 7-5 6-0.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Very comfortable win in R4 for him too, straight sets over Khachanov. He's in the quarter finals now so you all you fairweather fans can come out of the woodwork and I can stop talking to myself

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Djokovic has taken an absolutely paddling from Thiem. 7-6 6-3 6-0.

Rafa through with another virtual walkover as Busta retires, he's lost 22 games on the way to the semi final.

 

[Nando]

He's got the ability to hose up in the clay court season over the next few years. Proper, proper player.

Probably wait for him to make the semi-finals first, especially with Novak out now

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He should beat Kei. Normally has his measure. 8-2 on H2H.

 

[Trips]

Agreed, would be disappointed if he lost today. Wawrinka (likely) much tougher test in the semis

 

[darlowolf64]

Very poor first set by Murray, losing it 2-6

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Second set taken 6-1. He's settled a bit now.

 

[darlowolf64]

Yep, getting into his rhythm now

 

[Trips]

Tie-breaker in the third

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Kei absolutely tanking the tie break. Never feel he responds well under pressure.

 

[Trips]

2-1 Murray. Awful breaker from Nishikori

 

[The Bear]

I see Murray is still dressing like a homeless person at the beach.

 

[lemonjelly]

Murray 2-1 up v Warwrinka, and putting on the pressure it seems to me (that'll be him jinxed now, natch...)

Good work LJ :icon_lol:

 

[Bit on the shaggies]

Murray's service has gone off the boil a bit and Stan looks like taking this now.

 

[Trips]

Stan is hitting everything so far in this final set

 

[Nando]

He's done. Not coming back from this.

 

[lemonjelly]

Ah fuck me!
