I got to watch Muzza practicing yesterday and today at AELTC

A couple of pics if anyone's interested. Not brilliant as I was using a 70-300 at full (pap) stretch. They're big files so might take a sec or two to load.

First major upset then Berdych knocked out by Monfils. Got to feel for Berdych getting him in the first round though

Got to give it up for Monfils at his home slam after all his injury ****e. I love watching Monfils.

Yeah same, great player when fit.

Federer looking in some bother against Simon, 2 set to 1 down.

[RichC]

Fed wins the 4th set and is 3-0 up in the 5th, looks like Simon chokes again!

I wouldn't say that he choked.

Federer decided that he want to win the match. He upped the tempo and concentrated a bit more. After that happened it didn't matter what Simon did.

[RichC]

Federer concentrated yes but Simon dropped off noticeably which he's done though out his career against top players.

[Arn]

36 straight Grand Slam quarterfinals now for Federer.

[RichC]

Unbelievable isn't he, one of the sporting greats and has a good chance this year now.his side of the draw is pretty decent and he's seeded to meet Ferrer in the semis with Djok and Nadal playing each other.

[Neil Young]

Djokovic is currently being interviewed on Eurosport wearing a red, shiny, padded gilet.

Things like that shouldn't be broadcast before the watershed.

[JohnDoe]

Tsonga is two sets up on Federer!

[RichC]

Not a huge shock, Fed is now on the wain I fear. Probably the best player ever but he's had a poor year so far by his standards

[RichC]

Tsonga through in straight sets, quite easy tbh

[Gibbo]

This Wimbledon will be Roger's last.
