Surprised but happy that Djokovic was beaten.

What were those comments that the commentators made earlier about the seating arrangements of the Fed/Djoko families? Were they trying to suggest tension between them or something?

Am loving some of great angles I've seen from Murray in this and his last matches.

Really great 'gets' as well.

Yes. Think of all that tax he saved though. Then he saved even more by getting knocked out in the second round!

Didn't really get their point ..... but deduced it was that Mrs Fed usually sat on the left box and she was in the right hand side.

Perhaps they toss a coin for which side they sit on? Perhaps david Spearing would know!!

I didn't understand all that either.

McEnroe did say after the match that they're not really friends, but he didn't know the details.

That's the impression I got.. Becker made the remark about the families altering their usual seating order.. Post-match, he also commented that there was animosity between Fed and Nole.. So, I'm assuming the two camps prefer to avoid each other? Certainly, there have been issues in the past with Fed 'silencing' Nole's noisy brothers, etc. Nole's mom's infamous 'the King is dead' comment probably didn't do much to endear the Djokovic clan to the Fed-heads either..

He must be going back to Menorca really happy then ..... sitting on the beach counting the money has hasn't has to pay in tax.

Enjoy yourself Rafael.

Why is the umpire over ruling on calls like that?

I don't care who wins the title as long as it's not Federer. I'm one of those watchers who likes a change now and again. I donÄt even care if Murray doesn't win - too unsmiling for me. Actually I'd really like to see Jo-Wilfred win it... cute guy.

Going away from a semi-final to do a tour of the courts?

What is going on with BBC live event coverage, they have no idea anymore.
