Nishikori who beat Raonic plays Wawrinka in Q/Final next on court will be interesting to see how much late finish of last match affects him

Exactly my point. Spot on

Murray v Djokovic - Hmmmmmm.
On the face of it Djokovic goes in as favourite.
His serve stats are better at present as is his form.
There are question marks over Murray's fitness that won't go away either.
His cramping up early in the tournament and the weakening of serve speed as matches progress is a worry
Djokovic has not dropped a set so far and his unforced error count is pretty low.
On paper the Serbinator should win........... but............

Excellent performance by Makarova. The tournament would now appear to be Serena's to lose though.

Makarova has caused problems for Serena before but I expect Serena to win.

Given how seeds have been toppled in the woman's draw I don't think it is that straight forward, Serena seems to be feeling the pressure of trying to join Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova on 18 Grand Slam wins

so he can put you to sleep he has to be one of the most boring people i have ever seen. I don't understand why so many people support him, he doesn't seem to appreciate the support, just seems arrogant..

Fantastic quarter final in progress between Wawrinka and Nishikori.
Nishikori trailed by a set to love but now leads 2-1 after two tight sets including a dramatic tie-breaker in the 3rd set.
Tremendous ball striking from both men.
Worth a watch to the finish me thinks.

winner plays Murray/Djokovic

Serena trailing 0-3 with a double break against Pennetta
Wowsers .
If she loses it really opens up the tournament.
Surely Serena must come back .
Surely?

Edit: Yep. Serena takes 6 games in a row to win the set 6-3.
Normal service resumed.

Andy Murray loses in four sets but should be proud of his determination
