I'm getting excited just thinking about another Roger Rafa final, I thought those days were long gone. Biggest danger to that is if Wawrinka plays one of his unstoppable matches where he hits multiple winners per game.

Roger Rafa would be amazing. I imagine Andy would prefer that than Stan overtaking his number of Grand Slams!
If Stan wins he has more slams than our greatest ever sportsman yet Stan is probably not even considered a great in his own sport.
He only needs Wimbledon to complete a career Grand Slam! Which would be incredible for someone who's won relatively few tournaments, and never been higher than 3 in the world rankings

Wawrinka is a weird one. He's a good player, but not a special one. Nine times of out of 10, Murray is the better player, but Wawrinka just seems to be very consistent, at least he has been in the last 3 or 4 years, and that means he's always been ready to capitalise when one of the big guns drops off their level. He's been in relatively few major finals, way less than Murray for example, but his conversion rate is exceptional. I guess he just has that big game mentality.

Agreed, 1 Grand Slam a season for the last 3 years, at 3 different events. 3 finals, 3 wins...
His poor performance at Wimbledon makes him slightly overlooked in Britain, he's never been past the QF
Fed in total control, Stan goes for treatment in tears 2 sets down and now Fed's mind has wandered off somewhere. Stan wins 3rd set 6-1 and breaks Fed in opening game of the 4th set, Fed just broken back 1-1 in 4th set

Going to be tough for Konta but she's been playing great tennis the last year or so. She has a chance.
Raonic must fancy his chances of winning here, he reached the semis last year
If so he'll have more Grand Slams than Murray, which would be very impressive.
Not bothered if Nadal goes through to be honest but I'm really hoping Federer can win.
Nadal v Dimitrov

Talking of golden oldies, Roger vs Stan next. I like Roger's shirt!

I'd tip Wawrinka now.
Dimitrov takes the 4th set in a tie break and they've played almost 4 hours so far.
