    Nishikori beats Verdasco in four sets.

    Just one QF left to decide now...

    Wawrinka [3] or Monfils [15] vs. Cilic [7] or Anderson

    The only top eight seed not to make it through was Raonic.
  • That shows the consistency of the men's game, 7 of the top 8 through to the quarters and the one who missed out losing in 5 in the round of 16
  • 2 French women playing and the crowd are like at the Valley on a non protest matchday. If this match was being played at Wimbledon the British crowd would be offering more support than this for a couple of 'foreigners'.

    I keep meaning to pop over there, as the courts never seem very full and it must be easy to get tickets.

    Watching the Monfils Gasquet match the other day, I was expecting much more atmosphere for 2 local favourites

    This was a grudge match and the 2 of them really can't stand each other. One of them tweeted that she couldn't make a game or something and the other one gave her a mocking lol and another player joined in

    I think the seats are all sold. It is just that the French like very long lunches.

    Sadly I think that a large number of seats are corporate freebies and so not valued.
  • I know this is a bit sexist but Mladenovic has the best body I have ever seen on a tennis court.

    Face isn't all that though just for balance
  • Crowd are electric again

    I see where she stores her tennis balls.
  • Poor organising tomorrow. Both Nadal and Djokovic's rearranged quarter finals will be played at the same time.

    They were scheduled to clash today too.

    What else could they do? All 4 quarters have to be played tomorrow plus the 2 remaining womens quarters. Besides tomorrow is another walk over for Nadal.
  • Nadal though after Busta retires injured

    Thiem takes the first set on a tie-break against Djokovic
  • Djokovic struggling, Thiem won first set 7-6 and leads 2nd set 2-0

    Nadal through after Pablo Carreno Busta retired whilst losing 6-2 2-0
  • Thiem has never beaten Djokovic. But he has beaten Nadal twice, both on clay. Wouldn't bet against him.
  • Hoping for a Murray v Thiem final.

  • Thiem doing brilliantly.
  • Wow - double break for Thiem in the third.
  • Embarrassing

    Novak has tanked
  • edited June 2017
    Very unusual for him. Even if he's 6-0 6-0 5-0 down, he'd usually play as if he's still going to win the match. He's just given up though.
  • Reckon I could win some points against Novak if he plays like this. Just get it over the net! Sad to see really.

    Novak is likely to down to number 4 after Sunday
  • Wow Thiem wins 7-6 6-3 6-0
  • Thiem wins 7-6 6-3 6-0.

    Commentator: "third bagel in a grand slam in Novak's career".
  • Thiem vs Nadal, hmmmmmmmm
