Flavia Pennetta's fantasic form continued to take out Kuznetsova and with her dtc from our competition. One more win and it will be the 4th time out of her last 5 attempts where she's made it to the QF's (and then subsequently lost).

Kvitova's spent the last few days in hospital on plenty of medication so it's unsurprising that she went out today. Unfortunately I don't think Dave got the message

.

And finally the last women's match of the day caused absolute carnage. Giorgi played fantastically to put Wozniacki and half the remaining field in this out!

Isner's surprise defeat brings an end to our impressive run of predicting with Mike and Simon being the unlucky players to fall foul of the giant.

The bottom half of the draw is starting to fall into place now. With only 8 men left and our predictors having picked 3 or 4 of them (and unwilling to pick the likes of Nadal) there aren't many options left.

It will be interesting to see if Dimsum and Dean go for different predictions for the first time in 4 days

Yeah I only knew as have to constantlly check the tennis to run this to be honest, they didn't actually mention it much. She was also still a big favourite with the bookies despite this!

Berdych thrashed Benneteau with a loss of just five games, which means tso, DimSum and dean michael are safely through to day 8.

Again, you can PM me with tomorrow's predictions.

EPY

Carla Suarez Navarro has beaten Angelique Kerber, which means that Mike Teevee will win the WTA competition outright if Li Na beats Jelena Jankovic later.

If Jankovic beats Li, Mike and topgooner will share the win.

We could be about to crown the winner of the mens competition too...

EPY

Yup, unless Kohlschreiber somehow manages to topple Rafa... then we'd have a three-way tie!
