No it's the latest model of the +HD ones, it's about half the size of my old one as is the adapter box. Q isn't a necessity for me anyway and I've already got a load of discounts running from when they mucked up my upgrade to fibre.

Good win for Andy. Goffin's been playing well

Haha if you read the BBC sport article Andy will play either Simon or "Jock Sock"

Over in Hong Kong, defending champ JJ gets past Cornet in 3. She'll face Woz in the SF.

I'd happily take that deal too! Interesting that he said FO over AO, after his many heartbreaks there I would have expected him to want that more.

Just on twitter: Moscow - Kuzzy and Kalinskaya. Lux - Minella, Dodin and Schiavone.

Keys through to the SF. She does everything that bit better than Dodin and has the experience advantage.

You could have got Sky Q for the same price as Sky HD.

Either would be great, but maybe he feels like his clay court skills have improved enough to be considered a proper contender. Losing five AO finals isn't great, but he has won a hard court slam, Roland Garros would be something extra special.

So they tell viewers to switch to Eurosport 1 but keep the tennis on Eurosport 2!

What a terrible call in the Cibulkova match, the serve was obviously in, and Domi loses the game on a double.

And that one looked out! The world needs more Eva's if you're going to have tourneys without hawkeye.

Clearly they do things differently in the Challengers... not sure this method of court drying will catch on.

The world needs more Eva's anyway. That's why I was so offended when Novak told her to pay attention. How dare he?

Thanks. So Konta still plans on having next week off?

All that effort from Pavs to get back from 1-5 down to then flop in the TB.

Sounds like she didn't even ask for a WC, because of her abdominal injury. She's relying on Cibulkova not making the final and flopping next week or Serena deciding to no show again.

Looks like Cibulkova will go level with Konta.

And if it stays level then Konta would go through to Singapore in the tie-breaker scenario.

If Cibulkova fails to reach the final then she would have to reach the semis in Moscow to overtake Konta I think.

Almost a mirror image of the first set, but Cibulkova does just enough to quash the rebellion.
