First blood Djokovic this morning, a break in the third, 5-2, should take it to go 2-1. Some great rallies in this one.

Now he has Gasquet and then either Fognini/Montanes in the quarters so really should be a stroll to the Semi finals.

Troicki vs Murray as well. Going to be fantastic The winner of that would also surely be a favourite to make it into the semis - hopefully Troicki! I think that he could do it in 5, he's improved his game massively recently and just like Djokovic is thriving from the Davis Cup win. With Murrays injury scare as well today, it could be a very interesting, cannot wait!

[ScouseFox]

Murray/Troicki turning out to be an epic. 5-5 in the 5th, Murray was 2-5 down not long ago.

Quarter Finals draw looks quite good, Nole through w/o after Fognini pulled out after his last match going to 11-9 in the 5th, so he's into the semis. Federer/Monfils has potential if Monfils turns up in front of his home crowd, and of course Nadal/Soderling rivalry is back again, always a decent watch. Winner of this Murray/Troicki match plays Juan Ignacio Chela in their quarter final, again could go either way.

Exciting stuff.

Massive comeback from Murray, he had his tactics all wrong at the beginning of that set, I didn't think he'd pull it off.

He seems to enjoy playing catch up this tournament in general, but that Troicki match was something else!

Should be ok tomorrow even if his ankle is a bit dodgey but could do with being 100% fit playing Nadal or Soderling on Friday and I doubt he will be.

[ScouseFox]

Right then, Murray/Nadal followed by Nole/Federer.

Murray got a bit of form back last time out against Chela, looked quite good, but that was against Chela, not Nadal. Can't see anything other than Nadal here, probably in 3. Nadal's been in cruise control so far this tournament, but looked great against Soderling last time out.

Then Djokovic/Federer, can anyone stop Nole? He's after his first French Open and the World Number 1 spot. But Federer's probably the best player ever, so it won't be easy. I'll go Djokovic in 4, his form is something else.

Should be a good day to watch, whatever happens.

Anyone else think Murray looks ridiculous in a cap?

Anyhow come on Andy. Only see Nadal winning though, would like a Nadal - Djok final if Nadal wins.

[Bert]

Come on Nadal, do it for England.

[ScouseFox]

Vamos! First break Nadal, Murray playing quite well to be fair.

Hes probably just wearing the cap so you can tell who's who so when the tv pans out so freaking much

Yeah I figured that just looks weird in it.

Anyway Nadal 3-1 up with a break in the 3rd game and saving 3 break points in the 4th, looks like Nadal's already got a stranglehold on the set,

[purpleronnie]

I was going to bet nadal to win in 3.

Didnt though.

[ScouseFox]

Double break for Rafa. Great stuff.

[StanSP]

Nadal's got this.

[ScouseFox]

Hmmm, 5-4, Nadal serving for the set again.

[StanSP]

Nadal's got this.

Nearly

[ScouseFox]

Took his time and nearly blew it, but Rafa takes the first set.

[Manwell Pablo]

Actually thought he stood a chance of coming back then

Great set of tennis, he goes two down though and it's game over.

[Cat Burger]

He just needs to carry on holding serve and it looks like Rafa will continue to make mistakes. I Love Murray and he hurts me when he's upset with himself.

[ScouseFox]

Murray's defence has been superb, but even playing some of his best tennis there's no living with Nadal's forehand. Unbelievable.

[Narborough_fox]

4 breaks in a row and second set level at 4-4 with Murray to serve next, Nadal looking very annoyed and making mistakes but I still think he'll take it in 3 or 4 but hoping Murray wins.

[Cat Burger]

I hate Rafa, the good bastard.

[ScouseFox]

And there goes the second set, that should probably be that.

[ScouseFox]

Cruised through the 3rd, Rafa takes it in 3 sets.

Next match is tougher to call, should be just as high quality though.

[purpleronnie]

I was going to bet nadal to win in 3.

Didnt though.

Oh bum hole.

[Father Ted]

Murray must be the most hated man in tennis. An utter twat. Never smiles, always moans, groans louder than sharapova on key points to put the opposition off and has no sportsmanship qualities. He thinks hes mcenroe but hes nowhere near as good and will never win a grand slam.
