Nadal quits.

Edmund v Cilic in the semis.

Does he have a decent chance? It'll boil Murray's blood if an Englishman wins a major while he's still playing

I reckon he has a chance, first semi so big nerves. Most likely Roger in the Final though.

I think Cilic will be tired from that Nadal match regardless of the W/O in the fifth set. He's beaten a massive server in Anderson, seasoned pro in Seppi and world NO 3 tour final winner in Dimitrov so he certainly has a chance.

Will be tough as **** mind.

[Buzzo]

Edmund not looking out of place...

But needs to level and win the second set here.

[Buzzo]

Chung retires v Federer.

Men’s tennis has an issue with this now. Nadal retired. Edmund clearly not 100%. Chung retired. Half the top players unfit or not playing.

Maybe men’s slams need to go to best of 3? If you think of Andy Murray’s first Wimbledon win that was straight sets and took nearly three hours.

[labourRed]

Less games on tour would come first I reckon.

Anyway, I reckon Federer will get 20, which is a helluva achievement.

[Buzzo]

It is.

But he won Wimbledon against an injured Cilic and got to the Aus final with a walkover.

If ever a guy didn’t require any additional help!

They definitely need to look at the number of mandatory games. On the tour, and for the good of the sport reduce them.

I hope Andy gets to have a Year when all the others are out injured..!

[labourRed]

Best of three for the first week of the slam is what the missus just said to be and that's not a bad shout actually. It's a stupidly long season - something needs done.

[Buzzo]

Yeah that’s not a bad shout

2 weeks of best of 5 is incredibly harsh.

[Buzzo]

Wozniaki battling hard for her first Slam.

[RichC]

She’s got the yips a bit here. Neither of them have won a slam before, looks like it’ll be who can fall over the line first at the moment

[Buzzo]

Back on serve after medical timeout. Yeah, going to come down to who wants it more and who can keep nerves out of it.

Cracking final though.

Both giving absolutely everything.

[Buzzo]

Help serving to stay in it.

Wozniaka can go for it a bit here.

She's fitter and supports Liverpool, so I'm hoping the can get the win

[Buzzo]

WOW.

What a point. Championship point Wozniaka.

[Buzzo]

She's done it.

Great effort. From both.
