Yeah, I think Vinci gave everything she had in the 1st and has wilted terribly. Shame really.

I swear Andrew Castle has not shut up in this 2nd set. I know it's not very entertaining but he is not helping.

That's a shame, the first set was really good. But being hampered in movement is a bad place to be in against Kerber, hence why Vinci had nothing left to give in the second set and that foot fault to gift the first was a bit of a kicker in the guts.

Can the people watching Eurosport HD on sky tell me if you too have noticed all this tournament coverage that the Eurosport logo graphic that zooms in and out of the middle of the screen breaks up pretty badly? Also when the camera zooms in close on a player there is a weird wavey motion on the screen on their face mainly. Picture is fine when it goes to the studio stuff. Just problems during play.

Yes it does. It's giving me a headache.

Andy is on 2nd tomorrow...but that means Delpo/Stan is on last at night Serena kicks off the night session.

Thanks. Glad it's not just me! It's well strange. Can't think what they are doing to cause it.

The HD quality on Eurosport is dreadful. Lot's of juddering and fuzziness. It's making me queasy.

Looks like he has run out of steam

No one has ever won four consecutive Five set matches at a Grand Slam in the open era

Monfils has breezed through this tournament 0 sets dropped; next match should be more challenging though.

The American interviewers are getting even more cringeworthy everytime i hear them

Gael, What did you do when you was younger in the rain, What is that about

I used to play tennis

Will you be watching the match between Djoker and Jo Wiley

Yes for sure

Happy Gael is through to the semis. I'm down with some bug, doubtful if I will be able to stay awake for any of the matches later. Enjoy!

Today has got to be the worst day of tennis of the whole tournament


Vinci and Kerber was good for the first set, but then it fizzled out

Monfils and Pouille was suppose to be a great match, but Pouillle did not turn up

And we have Wozniacki and Sevastova which could be good or could be bad

And Djokovic Tsonga could be over in hour as Tsonga does not have a great record against Novak


Bring on Del Potro and Wawrinka tomorrow

I've decided that from now on in any match where one player 'lives' in Monaco & their opponent does not then I will support the latter, it makes me angry to see these selfish people denying their home country of all that tax revenue which would pay for essential stuff like schools/hospitals/police/military/infrastructure & so on.

What about those that live in Switzerland, isn't there something to do with taxes there? Sometimes it might be Monaco vs Monaco

It does not look good for Sevastova

We might have to see a walkover


Would we still have to wait two hours for the Djokovic Tsonga match

Since the trainer has been out for Sevastova for rolling her ankle in the way game, unless she can move, it ain't gonna be good
