      Amazed at just how easy Federer's half of the draw has been so far!

      Murray a set and a break up against this Kyrgios. A tricky tricky match being navigated well by Andy so far. Kyrgios discipline and letting himself down a bit.

      Oh dear. Kyrgios is crumbling here. Murray takes the second set 6-1!

      Both Aussies going to go out in the 4th round :(

      Pouille knocked Tomic out in 5. Bad loss that one.

      That was a whole lot easier than it should have been for Murray. Kyrgios should have at least kept him on court for another half hour. Kyrgios needs a coach to instil some discipline in him because he's a great player. Ok if he played at 100% today he probably still wouldn't have beaten Murray today because Murray is that good but a coach would really help him overcome his mental shortcomings and improve his game. There's an awesome player in there.

      Murray played some brilliant tennis though, give him his due.

      He's yet to master controlling the points mate. 

      Andy is one of the best at maneuvering the play to his advantage, you can see it developing but not many can do anything about it.

      Venus is in the semi finals once again. You know so many things come and go in this world, I'm 25 now and Venus has been doing the serious business at Wimbledon since I was in early years of primary school...some things never change. Go Venus!

      Cilic giving the match to Federer. The whole tiebreaker was Cilic hitting winners or errors.

      3 match points and didn't return one serve.

      Countless break points and all errors of Cilic's racquet.

      WHAT a tiebreak and first set between Tsonga and Murray. Felt that Murray was on the back foot for a the second half of that and the tiebreak was so close you could not call it...but Murray took it!

      Did well to get through there did Andy.

      Was worrying when Tsonga got that break point at the start of the fifth.

      What an awesome match! So so nervy but Murray stood up when it really mattered! I was tearing my hair out at Tsonga - unbelievable tennis by him. He's a giant and everything Murray seemed to throw at him he was more than equal to it!

      One of the great days on centre court!

      Roger a break down in this final set after being 2 sets to 1 up against Raonic. Seems that Federer is feeling something not too good in his knee either.

      Roger is out, Raonic through. Looked in such a commanding position but did not prevail in the end.

      Always saddens me to see Roger walking off Centre Court these days after a defeat. Wonder how much more of the great man we will see. In victory or even defeat he remains the classiest, charismatic and most graceful of them all. He is to tennis what Ayrton Senna was to F1 and Ali to boxing.

      It's funny because I love Roger Federer - how can't you, if you are a tennis fan? - but I still love to root against him even more. It does not piss me off when he wins, quite the opposite instead, but I seem to have more fun going for the underdog. It's great to see someone going through such an effort like Raonic did today to beat a legend like Federer.

      Hoping Murray beats Berdych and wins it all though.
