Well that's The Nick Kyrgios Show over for another GS.

Dat lob

Murray made the exact same shot the next point :lol:

Aaaaand went for it a third time too!

Karlovic would be a supremely dangerous opponent if he didn't make so many unforced errors. The amount of times he's looked like winning a point only to pie his shot into the tramlines is horrendous.

That said, he still looks a threat and you can't count somebody who serves like him out. They're crazy fast.

Karlovic tried to flap his arms and put Murray off there. Comical.

Sort yourself out Murray for God's sake.

Mike Hutchings: Coaching Karlovic must be a very boring job.

"Forehands today Ivo?"

"No. I serve."

"Ok we'll do serve and volley."

"No. I serve"

Tricky match, that. QF will be a nice rest before The Rematch (pt 1).

Is it Federer in the semis if they both get there and Djokovic in the final for the winner?

PostRe: The Tennis Thread by **Tineash** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 6:22 pm

Yes.

Nole just double faulted to give Kevin Anderson a set point on his serve in their first serve tie-break, which he's emphatically taken! This could be interesting.

EDIT: This is one of those performances by Anderson that'll ultimately be described as "gutsy," on the BBC website tomorrow. He can't keep this up indefinitely and I'd expect Djokovic's superior fitness will shine through but he's playing very well indeed just now - 15-30 up as I type this.

And Djovokic broken! :shock:

Djokovic a set and break down.

Another shock could be on the cards. Anderson serving well.

Corazon de Leon · PostRe: The Tennis Thread by **Corazon de Leon** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 7:23 pm

Gah, broken straight back. Djokovic always seems to have an extra gear when he looks like he might lose it.

!!!!

This Anderson guy is amazing

PostRe: The Tennis Thread by **Infibeyen** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 8:01 pm

Djokovic has a long way to go if he wants to keep this!

PostRe: The Tennis Thread by **PaperMacheMario** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 8:01 pm

And he's taken the second too! Anderson's playing incredibly, quality match.

Corazon de Leon · PostRe: The Tennis Thread by **Corazon de Leon** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 8:03 pm

I watched Anderson play Murray in the Queens final and he simply didn't look like he was capable of this - he's ground out an amazing position for himself!

PostRe: The Tennis Thread by **TigaSefi** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 8:21 pm

Novak got this. Will win now in 5 which is ok as he has to stay out longer.

PostRe: The Tennis Thread by **PaperMacheMario** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 8:28 pm

That wasn't surprising. Let's see what Anderson's got left.

And finally normality has returned to the highlights show. Nice simplistic studio, with a great view.
