    Nadal is such a good sport. So many players just walk off in a huff.

    Muller does it, well deserved.

    Nadal never really looked like getting anything out of Muller's serve... It was all errors that was getting him points and close to breaking

    Muller on the other hand you always felt was just a little bit closer each time to winning it

    Well done Muller. Just showing what a great sport this is! Great news for Murray to have him out of his side of the draw as well.

    Murray vs Querrey
    Muller vs Cilic

    Raonic vs Federer
    Berdych vs Djokovic/Mannarino

    Lot of respect to Rafa for how he handled that.

    Wow. Was rooting for Rafa. Really fancied him this year. Huge shock considering the form he's in. Credit to Muller, looked like he could go all night.

    Wow, what a match and well done Muller although the odds are he will go out to Cilic in the Quarter Finals. Class from Nadal as well to wait for Muller and then sign some autographs, not many players would have done that after such a loss.

    A massive bonus for Cilic. No Nadal, and facing an opponent who went through 5 sets (or rather the equivalent of 6.5 sets!)

    If you didn't see the way Nadal treated his opponent and the crowd after his defeat, this is worth a view

  • Konta 3rd on Centre court tomorrow!

    Never really been a fan of Rafa but the way he behaved and took that defeat was a bit special and I really felt for him , that was a pure class act

    Wasn't that just loads of adults wanting things signed?

    Konta 3rd on Centre court tomorrow!

    She'll be thanking the Wimbledon organisers for putting her on Court 1 today, and Centre tomorrow as the weather forecast doesn't look good, and she knows her game will get played.

    Novak and Mannarino about to get started under the roof.

    Wish he'd stick to Football... Maybe then he could improve a bit.

    2 weeks of Tennis at Wimbledon would certainly get him fit for the next season though!

    Djokovic through in three sets.

    Muguruza looking good in the first semi final on Court 1.

    Konta broken in her first service game, Halep leads 2-0
  • I expect Halep to win, but Konta is in great form

    Watched ten minutes of it and had to switch off due to Halep's screeching. I just can't bear the noise they make.

    The roof really makes the grunts reverberate and echo...

    Konta the better player at the moment but just not putting the easy ones away.
  • The Aussie is a set down

    Hopefully the Brit will win the 2nd set!
