Nothing dodgy in Konta massively jumping up the rankings after moving to Spain and that im sure.

“When I used to hear Muhammad Ali proclaim to the world that he was the greatest I used to smile,” Murphy once said. “The greatest of them all was a footballer named Duncan Edwards.”

Every city tells itself it's the greatest city on earth. But only one gave us the computer, The Roses and above all, United.

I don't know whether it's because there's British interest in it but this has been the most entertaining women's event I've seen in a grand slam for years. Most of the matches have been excellent.

It's because there's no Serena, for me anyway.

Not knocking her at all, but she's just on such a different level to every other female player the slams are boring, it's a procession just waiting for her to win at the end. Without her there's genuinely about a dozen different players all with real chances of winning at the beginning.

In fairness to him he's looked to be carrying an injury all tournament. Finally catching up with him now.

Otherwise its being thrown. Didn't even bother to try and return on the last Querrey serve. Game over now anyway

Didn't watch it all but looked like he was struggling with one. Shame really as he's played some tidy tennis leasing up to this.

Back to being Scottish for another year it is.

He needs to be a case study in sports science textbooks for probably the best biomechanics in sports history. His style of play places least stress on his body , is the most efficient on the court , and is utterly bewitching to watch . The man is an icon.

Seems like a daft question but from my memory, Cilic often players well against Federer. I reckon Federer wins it in 5.
