    The way Novak is playing, you wonder how long he's going to continue. The desire has gone

    Murray broken in his second service game... is 3-1 down in the first set.

    Nishikori has broken Murray's serve for a second time (5-2) and will now serve for the first set...

    Murray needs to wake up a bit

    Never makes things easy for himself.
    Expect five topsy turvy sets

    I thought Murray would win in four / five sets... To be honest I've not been worried by his lack of form this year. He never does well until Queens usually and then seems to get into form as the Grass Court season begins

    Murray now breaks twice in the second set to lead 5-1 and will now serve for the set

    A time violation pissed him off and stirred him up!

    Wawrinka on the brink of another three sets win. Hasn't dropped a set throughout.

    Tough to see either Murray or Nishikori beating Stan the way they are playing in this match.

    Murray 6-1 in the 4th

    Stan in the semi.

    Winner plays Nadal or Thiem in the final which will be tough!

    Murray's through!

    Stan v Murray
    Thiem v Rafa

    Think it'll be Stan v Rafa in the final too.

    But Thiem beat Rafa on clay recently, and I'd give it 60/40 that Stan wins as well. Should be two brilliant semi finals.

    Well considering Murray has been bang average all season, you'd have to say that making the a grand slam semi final on his least favoured surface is not a bad showing, regardless of what happens vs Stan.

    Day off Friday, looking forward to the 2 matches.

    Credit to Murray for getting to the last 4, didn't think he had it in him with his form coming in to the tournament and he has now reached 23 slam semi finals, without doubt one of British sports greatest.

    The run to the semifinal will help him in the grass court season, whatever happens now, as he was desperately short of "match hardness" before Paris

    The cynic in me suggests he's dropped a level just as they were really cracking down on doping and banning extra performance enhancers (Sharapova ban etc).

    Lee Novak joined Charlton on the 1st July 2016, and has been pretty hopeless for us since then.

    Novak Djokovic then loses at Wimbledon on the 2nd July 2016, and has been hopeless every since

    Clearly both Novaks have been simultaneously Charltonised.

    To be fair it took them 11 years

    Can't wait until the next world cup. Beckham, Gerrard and Owen are going to rip it up.

    Edited, though to be fair, Lee Novak runs as if he's 10 years older than he actually is...

    Amazing and typically Murray-esque game.
    Lose the first set? Tick.
    Get broken serving for the set? Tick.
    Get incredibly angry and then start playing like a demon? Tick.

    I honestly don't know where all his wins come from, because he always looks as though he is 1 point away from disaster.

    Him and Nadal could be epic, or it could be embarassing.

    As regards Stan, I just don't know.
