Djok will have a tough game against Nishikori ...........  he must (and will) play better than he did against Simon.  Fed is playing better than ever but still cant see him beating robotic Djok

Fed has beaten Djokovic a good few matches recently over 3 sets its the 5 setters he just can't seem to do it but hopefully Nishikori knocks him out for him or Fed can do it himself.

I think Ferrer will cause Murray all sorts of problems , I'll go for a Federer v Ferrer final with Roger winning it.

Williams beats Sharapova again.
Tense enough match but not high quality tennis,rallies short enough and some of the serving was pretty poor from both players.

Djokovik looks well on his way.
It'll be impossible for Nishikori now especially if he aint 100per cent.

Really hope Fed beats him in the semi-he's gotta lose sometime and I think Fed is the only man capable of stopping him.

Fed v Djokovic it is then, should be a cracker

Really looking forward to this one. Would love to see Federer beat him. He is still playing at an amazing level considering how long he has been playing at the top of the game. Federer to beat him 3-1 in a classic 

Gutted for Ferrer.

Murray's route to the final seems pretty straightforward-don't see Raonic or Monfils the showboater causing him too many problems.

Joanna Konta could go on to win this yet-stranger things have happened.

I am sure Konta is a lovely girl, but please let her be hammered, I can't take any more fawning over someone who is as British as Saoirse Ronan.

On phone and can't embolden the bit about seeming a nicer person off court but how do you come to that conclusion?? Most of the top tennis lads all seem like spot on lads of the court - yep even Murray. The only one who didn't imo was Nadal but for all I know he probably was/is a top lad as well just never seen any articles or pieces about him to back it up

Anyway, just don't think Djok gets the credit he deserves, not just on here but in the media too as the whole hype around the game will centre on Fed again imo when let's not forget Djok came on the scene when both Fed and Nadal where at the peak of their careers and still beat them

Hopefully it's another win leading on to another major for Djok, he'll be catching yer boy soon enough
