Djokovic has hired Agassi as his new coach.

Looks like I was wrong about Novak, just a one off return to sheer brilliance.

The young guy zverev though, the first of many for him. I wonder how many slams he'll end up with.

Rapidly-greying is Mediocre to Average at games :fp:

Nole two sets and a double break down. 0-4 to Thiem in the third set. Mental tennis.

Might we finally finally see a Murray v Nadal final? :o

Bagel! strawberry floating hell.

Cutty, Murray still has Nishikori and probably Wawrinka to get through before he can even think about who he plays in the final. If he wants the French, it won't be easy for him.

Novak! :toot:

Murray isn't playing much better either so I don't think he'll be in the final again. Mad how the top two have fallen away so quickly.

Murray's been playing through illness and injury all year to be fair to him, and Djokovic appears to have achieved the career grand slam goal and stopped trying.

Stan's through in three quick sets and Nadal's opponent retired so Murray needs to finish this in four. Nishikori tanking this tie-breaker though.

I'm following it from work on live text, he made a right arse of that did Nishikori.

Wawrinka's gonna win the whole thing. He loves being under the radar like this, and he's gonna eat the winner of this qf for lunch.

I'll be astonished if Nadal doesn't win. I think he may even manage it without dropping a set. I do expect Stan to beat whoever gets through the Murray match, he's the only player left that I can envisage giving Nadal any problems.

Murray does like to make things difficult for himself sometimes. Good that he's made the semi finals at least. Cannot in anyway see him winning the tournament though. Unless Nadal gets an injury.

If you can't even envisage Thiem giving Nadal trouble then you're selling him very, very short.

Edit: A hard thiem, etc.

I hope he does give him a tough match but I can't see it, not in the semis at RG against the greatest clay court player of all time. Nadal is in crushing form, he really is.

Thiem's the first person to not drop a set against Djokovic in a grand slam since Murray in his 2013 Wimbledon victory, I wouldn't count him out.

Sure but Djokovic has been pretty terrible by his standards for a while.

Not counting him out entirely but a fully fit and in form Nadal at RG is one of the most difficult challenges in all of sport!
