    Break back :o That was mostly of Dimitrov's own making though.

    Dimitrov hasn't done anything that outrageous though. He's just playing his game.

    Yeah it's not too different from what he's shown all grass-court season. Including slight walkabouts.

    I don't know how anyone could be an objective 'fan' of Murray's style of tennis. It's grim. I guess I can appreciate people wanting him to win from a 'British winner' perspective but surely not because of how he plays.

    Being able to sustain a high endurance game grinding out several long rallies mainly from the back of the court for 4 or 5 hours (even 6+ hours) if necessary is what it takes to win grand slam titles these days.

    It certainly wasn't "breathtaking," to quote Petch. He was just waiting for Dimitrov to make the error. He needs to be more proactive.

    Tim, why was that the most important point of the match? Nauseating commentary setting in.

    Who's the young guy in the suit sat next to Roger Rasheed? In my imagination it's Dimitrov's boyfriend as they'd make a really cute couple.

    Petchey is ludicrous. I've no idea why he's so popular. He only opens his mouth when Murray wins a point.

    It's one of his agents.

    Why on earth did he just push that return back?!

    Wouldn't it be awesome if Sharapova was just a beard?

    It's actually so embarrassing for the WTA that Bouchard, who stinks, is through to her 3rd successive semi-final.

    Halep is just ruthless tbh. Still can't believe she bagelled it. :D Wimbledon champion I think.

    I'm rooting for Dimitrov this match, anything to stop Andrew Castle creaming his pants over murray.

    Plus I need more Grigor on my screen, Sharapova has flawless taste.

    Cilic has the break in the second set. 3-1.

    I know he's British etc. but this crowd are getting on my nerves.

    It's a tough call but I think the ones who sit side-by-side with letters that spell things like "Muzza" are the most desperate.

    In my imagination 'agent' is a euphemism for something else entirely so I'm happy.

    I think Dimitrov is more his thing.

    Well I've had my doubts about all of that for some time :D

    Wimbledon may be the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world but it's also stuck in a time warp. The linesmen look like they've stepped out of a 1950s golf club, the women look like old matrons.

    Lol, Dimitrov for me too. Murray such a humourless,miserable git. Castle is not the only one, Sue Barker has an orgasm every time she says his name:)

    Come on Grigor, you don't want the Rasheed death stare.

    Grigor has nothing in his game to hurt Andy. Andy should be bossing this match easily.

    I'm not a big fan of Genie, but that's a pretty ludicrous statement, the girl has all the shots, intelligent play, power when needed, and is a fighter.

    Without stating the obvious too much this set is so vital in the match and championship.

    Oh gawd keep looking in the box rather than the nose-breathing Brit fans.
