    Just seen shot of the year from Nick Kyrgios out on Centre Court against Nadal.

    40-0 down, he just decided to open his legs and play the ball between his legs.

    Stunning!
    Great shot, very cheeky. Although I think nadal will be too strong overall the boy is the future of tennis.

    i don't normally watch any tennis until the final anyway was Miss Sharapova one of them screamer types can't be bothered with the screamers/grunters (not at tennis anyway)
    What a racket she makes, pardon the pun! Kerber fully deserved her win as did Lisicki a wee bit earlier on.

    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.

    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.

    Kyrgios is the only unseeded player left in the draw.

    Not quite true - Kyrigios is only in the quarter final and now plays the 8th seed for a place in the semi.

    The other players are seeded 1 - 3 - 5 - 11 - 4 - 26

    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.

    Yep totally misread.

    Did think it was odd that Raonic was unseeded (or so I thought).

    I think Rosol beating Nadal was bigger shock.

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

    No Wimbledon win this year if he plays like this, he's being hammered.

    2nd set tie-break

    Dimitrov wins 7-4.

    Looks like curtains for Andy, hope I'm wrong.

    Murray a break down in the 3rd set, 2-4.

  21. #50
    Murray missing Lendl?

    Started mouthing off at his box again and showing his frustration, something he seemed to have under control previously.

    Djokovic takes sets 4 & 5by 6-2 to reach the last four.

    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.

    Raonic the dark horse? He looks like Gareth Bale! Great serve.

    Andy was outgunned today by an opponent who was at the very peak of his form. He seemed content to simply return the ball as opposed to going for out and out winners. I've always felt he struggles against opponents who hit the ball harder than he does.

    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!

    That's the sort of match up which could suit Federer.

    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.

    Novak Djokovic takes the opening set against Grigor Dimitrov, 6-4.
