Must admit I am knackered watching that. How do they have the strength to play in it.
Well done Andy.

Didn't catch any of the match today as I was working but that's almost like another set that he played today.
It's good to come out of that sort of situation victorious though.
He'll have another tough one tomorrow against Fernando Verdasco, although the French Open is surprisingly the Grand Slam that Verdasco has done worst at during his career and he has never been past the fourth round at Roland Garros.
Murray can also take confidence from the fact that he has a 9-1 winning head-to-head record against Verdasco and also came from two sets down against him at Wimbledon last year.
He also has a great record against left handers. Apart from Rafael Nadal, Murray hasn't lost to a left hander for over three years, although Verdasco has beaten him at a Grand Slam before.
I'll go for Murray in four sets in that one.

I would've picked 3 out of 4 in each today, here's my predictions for tomorrow:
Men
Rafael Nadal (ESP) [1] to beat Dusan Lajovic (SRB)
David Ferrer (ESP) [5] to beat Kevin Anderson (RSA) [19]
Gael Monfils (FRA) [23] to beat Guillermo Garcia-Lopez (ESP)
Andy Murray (GBR) [7] to beat Fernando Verdasco (ESP) [24] (almost gave this one to Verdasco)
Women
Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS) [27] to beat Lucie Safarova (CZE) [23]
Simona Halep (ROU) [4] to beat Sloane Stephens (USA) [15]
Sara Errani (ITA) [10] to beat Jelena Jankovic (SRB) [6]
Andrea Petkovic (GER) [28] to beat Kiki Bertens (NED)

Whatever happens, I hope it goes the distance as Murray is due to play the winner in the quarter finals, provided he gets past Verdasco of course!

How easy a run has Nadal had? Don't think he has played a seed

The three seeds he could have played by now were Tommy Haas (retired in the first round), Nicolas Almagro (retired in the first round) and Vasek Pospisil (lost in the first round).
Not a bad draw, having to play Dusan Lajovic, the world number 83, for a place in the quarter finals.
I can't see it being anything other than a Nadal-Djokovic final to be honest.

Just switched on the radio coverage. Trying to clear up before I go away to Paris tomorrow. If things stay the same and the weather is okay I should see Nadal v Ferrer as I suspect Monfils would be on the main court. Personally would prefer Murray but not a bad fallback.
Well back to work

The play won't start until 2pm local time so plenty of time for all the showers to fall in the morning.

Big breakthrough for Ernests Gulbis as he makes the semi finals of a Grand Slam for the first time after defeating Tomas Berdych quite convincingly today.
I can't see him going any further though as he now plays Novak Djokovic after beat Milos Raonic in straight sets.
The other two quarter finals are played tomorrow with Andy Murray taking on Gael Monfils and Rafael Nadal facing David Ferrer.
Both matches are due to start around 3:30pm, although the start may be delayed as the forecast for tomorrow is pretty grim.

Monfils being a bit more competitive in the 2nd set but still fancy Murray finishing things off in straight sets.
Nadal now at one set all.
