Unfortunately Sabine Lisicki was overcome by the occasion. They always say 'play the match, not the occasion'. Marion Bartoli did that whereas Lisicki was overwhelmed until the match was out of her control. If Lisicki held her very first service game having broken Bartoli in the first game, then...

Lisicki wins 9-7 in the deciding set having been a break down at one stage. Much like the Murray-Verdasco match yesterday, the match ebbed and flowed and Lisicki lost her serving rhythm completely in the 2nd set. She rediscovered it in the nick of time and despite Radwanska's energy around...

Garry Richardson. As ever, completely inane and sounds as though he's never watched a tennis match outside of Wimbledon.

He'd rather have faced them, yeah, but 'bitten your hand off'? Verdasco certainly is a far better player than a ranking of #54 suggests. Being that he is left handed though should suit Murray's game.

He's erratic with his serve. However, when it is working for him it is mightily effective for him on grass, as it was against Almagro in the 3rd round. He was less fluent against Melzer though. Kubot is more a conventional grass court player, so their quarter-final is a good match-up because of...

If Andy Murray can thrash arguably the best men's tennis player of all time to win an Olympic gold medal in front of a British crowd 3 weeks after the same player beat him in the final at Wimbledon, then I'm pretty certain he'd have handled the pressure of beating a guy he beat in the...

How did you see Ferrer beating Murray exactly? Murray beat Ferrer at Wimbledon last year and has beaten him twice since, if I recall correctly and Murray is a much more accomplished player on grass than Ferrer. Del Potro is playing a blinder considering his injury at the start of the match...

It's down to ranking points. Federer had a lot of ranking points to defend which he lost by virtue of him losing in the 2nd round. Whereas, win or lose, Ferrer has reached the same stage in the tournament he got to last year. Indeed, even though Nadal went out a round before Federer, it won't...

Far from being graceless, Serena Williams actually seemed very graceful after her defeat yesterday. She made sure she waited for her opponent before leaving court, which very few players have done after they have lost this tournament and she spoke very well of Lisicki in her press conference...

Jerzy Janowicz is another player who could make a run to the semi-finals now after today's carnage. He's a big serving Pole and his game should be ideally suited to the conditions, judging by some of the results so far.

Things seem to be rolling Murray's way. As well as the withdrawals, he has avoided a potential banana skin in the next round against a specialist grass court player Nicolas Mahut who beat Murray at Queen's last year as Mahut lost in straight sets to Tommy Robredo, who is normally more adept on clay.

Probably yes, when you consider that there is 4 months between the Australian Open and the French Open, but only a fortnight between the French Open and Wimbledon. I think that from next year or the year after, there will be an extra week between the end of the French Open and Wimbledon...

Both of the most likely quarter-final opponents for Murray should he get that far have gone out of the tournament due to injury today, Tsonga and Cilic, as well as John Isner who once played in a 138 game 5th set, today lasted only 5 minutes. The bottom half of the draw has opened up as a result...
