The old boy in my office has decided to down tools and sit and listen to it on five live through his headphones.

Well it should be wide open for Maria anyway

Murray may have to wait, as Nadal is still well in this game and Fed has taken control of his.

Del Potro has just taken a fall and looks crocked, hip injury courtesy of having to suddenly change direction and nearly ending up doing the splits unintentionally.

What's the score for Fed's game?

[Fredo]

Seen it, sorry Craigy.

[Shaggy]

Great game that, pity Del Potro couldn't take it to a 5th set. Unlucky in the game he was broken, very unlucky.

[Baracus]

Read, That DP and Murray have history. DP calling Murrays Mum. What a ****. DP gone down in my books.

[Shaggy]

It wasn't that bad, they're mates going back to their junior days and just had a bit of a barney.

[Craig_H]

Nadal's ****ing awesome, even with injury, he stormed through.

Although the poor ****er's body will be shot to pieces by the time he's into his 30s.

[wiw]

Just shows you how tight that was when they showed points won, 127 each was it at one point? Nadal just wins the big points by hook or by crook, be it luck or skill or an error

As you guys said though, he takes the piss the way he slows it down

Even though this isnt over yet I cant wait for the US Open, Djoko's best surface, Murray's best, Del Potro's best and of course Nadal and Federer are great on it.

Del Potro looked excellent today, especially considering its been by far his worst surface and he's only played 2 grass tournaments in nearly two years. Great to see him back and playing well. Thankfully his ranking is going to shoot up soon as it looks ridiculous having him seeded that low.

World number one Rafael Nadal is concerned that a foot injury may force him to quit Wimbledon.

The defending champion produced a rousing performance to see off Juan Martin Del Potro in four sets to move into the quarter-finals.

But the 25-year-old Spaniard was troubled by the injury throughout and will go for an MRI scan on Tuesday.

"I don't know what the problem is, I will get it checked out. I'm worried for sure," he said.

"At one moment at the end of the first set I thought I might have to retire.

"To hit my forehand was very tough. I felt something really strange when it was at 6-5 in the first set when I called to the trainer. I pushed hard with a forehand and I just felt something crush in the back of the foot. I didn't know what went on.

"I changed the position of the foot so I was able to continue but with pain."

It is not the first time injury problems have affected Nadal at Wimbledon - he was unable to defend his 2008 title because of knee problems - and the Mallorcan is concerned about what his scan may reveal.

He will play Mardy Fish in the quarter-finals on Wednesday if he is fit enough and then could play Andy Murray in the semi-finals if the Scot beats Feliciano Lopez.

"I'm going to do the MRI. We'll see what's going on. I cannot predict the future," Nadal said.

"I am checking with the doctors, with the physios. They are trying. We are trying to do our best as fast as possible.

"Let's see what's going on and let's see how the MRI looks. And after, let's see if we have the chance to recover for Wednesday. I don't know."

The champion had 10 minutes of treatment at the end of the first set and thinks the strapping which his trainer put on his left foot enabled him to continue.

"With the tape it changed the direction of the support and it didn't hurt me that much," he said.

Del Potro had his own injury scare, slipping and falling to the grass at 2-2 in the third set.

He remained on the ground, clutching his left hip and then left the court for treatment but returned within minutes to continue as Nadal won 7-6 (8-6) 3-6 7-6 (7-4) 6-4.

I have a new crush. Sabine Lisicki

I can't really point the finger on it but I think she's well wild in the sack.

[Gibbo]

Nadal's MRI showed no serious problems
