    Bouchard is so crafty isn't she? Love watching her.

    Hope she gets her shit together

    Oh my days, what a gift to give away that set. Sort your serve out Genie.

    Probably Maria's best match so far. Genie next in the Quarters, should be a good one.

    Game Set and Mats reminds me of Acorn Antiques. They both sit with a daft grin because the producer is always late cutting away.

    I try to avoid it, partly because I don't like Mats but also because it's cringeworthy watching the inane grins as they will the producer on. I always think of those awful American soaps like Santa Barbara with dodgy sets and long lingering shots to camera to emphasise to viewers that X is a baddy. Not good at all.

    Nadal struggle through a couple of early rounds. Now all of a sudden ourpt of nowhere really he looks like a man on a mission.

    I was surprised that Anderson just capitulated in the second set after such a tight first. i wonder how Rafa would have coped had Anderson taken one of the 5/6 break points he had at 5-5.

    Rafa needs matches. The more he wins, the more he starts to believe. He is no where near his best yet, but he is improving bit by bit. I like the fact, that he seems to be enjoying himself, the water bottle incident at the end of the match was very cute!

    This is like a Davis Cup match. I don't know how Seppi can keep his concentration.

    Did Mrs Kyrgios give birth to Nick when she was still at school or does she just have youthful genes (or maybe she's had plastic surgery)?

    You can see where he gets his flamboyant side from.

    She looks in her 40's to me and he is only 19, so i'd guess she had him in her 20's. She does look good though.

    He has won the first set after being 3-0 down.

    Much better from Andy, Dimitrov was aggressive from the start. I don't know if it caught Andy by surprise or if he was just a bit slower to get going, he's definitely more aggressive now, particularly on returns.. And he's won the set!

    I think she looks about 35.
