    I'm sitting under the roof support which has air-conditioning.:D

    It's lovely isn't it! Just wait till you pop out to get something though, you don't realise how hot it is!

    I popped out for pizza earlier.:o:o:o

    Is that Bruce Forsythe sitting in the Royal Box opposite me? He hasn't moved an inch since he sat down. Is he still breathing? :D

    I would like to see Berankis beat Cilic.

    Haha, crowd singing 'Belinda' as she takes the first set.

    Meh I don't

    It pretty much ensures Novak has a bye to the semis. Isner v Giraldo doesn't exactly appeal to me as a quarter final play off either

    Cilic on his day is dangerous and could well put it up to Novak

    That said this match is far more interesting than I thought. Berankis did look very handy v Andy at AO 13 though

    That was a great shame. Berankis is a very exciting player to watch.

    He's keeping his powder dry, so that when there's been some exciting play, he can say, 'Good game, good game'.

    baghdatis is a legend. What an atmosphere for his match v Millman even the Aussies were giving Baggy a standing ovation afterwards

    Love seeing characters like that still playing well

    Heather is cruising here and going very well. Hantuchova is just moonballing all over the place now, Heather should power home

    This has been a very assured performance from Watson, better than I anticipated. Still, she has to get herself over the line yet. Anyone know who she would play next?

    Hev's serve is on fire now, Dani just a passenger in this set.

    A very average player by all accounts :p:D

    Some Williams

    Go Watson!

    What's with the terrible line calls?

    That's what it's all about though, playing Serena on Centre Court

    What an opportunity for any player

    Oh goodness. Well, it was nice while it lasted Heather. :p

    She could sneak a set if Serena has any of those loss of concentration moments we saw so often at the French and v Cornet here last year

    I'm not sure that she would have the fire power to do even that. Today may have been the best performance I've seen from her though so you never know.

    What on earth is up with Cilic

    If Berankis wins this Novak's draw to the semi is beyond laughable

    Another poor call on that baseline.

    Straight sets for Hev. Lovely stuff, really clicked into gear in that second set.

    Good work BBC! Giving the Serena the victory before she's even played!! If she loses now they'll feel like idiots....

    Yes, what a ridiculous thing to assume...

    Bernakis is returning so well. He's giving Djoko a run for his money.
