Big shock in the making right now on Centre Court.
Nick Kyrgios leads Rafa Nadal by two sets to one.
Nadal will have to win in five sets if he's to get through to the quarter finals.
Cracking match so far.

Djokovic, Federer, Murray and Wawrinka will all be doing a wee jig right now.
Fantastic that an unseeded player will be in the semi finals.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Outstanding performance by Nick Kyrgios and definitely deserved that win.
It will be interesting to see if he can get himself mentally prepared for his match tomorrow against Milos Raonic.

Touch of class by Nadal at the end though by staying behind to walk off the court alongside Kyrgios and then signing autographs.
Fantastic champion.

Did think it was odd that Raonic was unseeded (or so I thought).PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

It's a shock but Kyrgios is young, highly rated and had already beaten Gasquet.

2nd set tie-break
Dimitrov wins 7-4.
Looks like curtains for Andy, hope I'm wrong.

Murray missing Lendl?

Missed the match today but sounds like Murray played one of the worst matches for a long time today.
Not a great time to throw in a performance like that.
Good luck to Dimitrov, he's certainly got a chance at winning this year.

So the semi final line up is now complete;
Novak Djokovic v Grigor Dimitrov
Roger Federer v Milos Raonic
Two of the "big four" up against two of the new generation.
In many ways it would be quite exciting to see a Dimitrov v Raonic final.
It will be interesting to see how both of them handle the occasion on Friday, playing against two of the greatest players in the history of the game, both of whom are past Wimbledon champions, for a place in the Wimbledon final.
Neither of them have been as far as this before in a Grand Slam, in fact neither of them had previously made it past the second round at Wimbledon.
On the flipside, this will be Roger Federer's 35th appearance in a Grand Slam semi final, out of the last 45 tournaments, which stretches all the way back to the 2003 Wimbledon championships. He has also won 24 of the previous 34 Grand Slam semi finals, losing only to Djokovic (5), Nadal (3), Murray (1) and Safin (1).
Those are quite extraordinary statistics.
Djokovic's stats aren't too far behind either. He's now managed to make 23 Grand Slam semi finals from the last 30 tournaments and has managed to win 13 of the previous 22.
Looking forward to Friday afternoon already.

Should be great Friday. Anything could happen although I do think Fed must be tiring a bit by now. At least he can rest a bit while Raonic's serves go shooting past!

At almost 33 years old, he doesn't want to have lots of 25 shot rallies. Given the sort of serve that Raonic has, there's probably going to be a lot of short points so that could work in Federer's favour.
Raonic does have some serve though and if it's firing on all cylinders tomorrow, Federer's going to have a battle on his hands as his first serve is extremely difficult to return.
