I think so too.
That's wawrinka at his absolute best. Two of the best rallyers battling it out is great tennis. Neither of them go long or wide that often.
Stark contrast was the karlovich/verdasco slug fest. I thought the boring days of big servers was over.
Hewitt was excellent today too.

Considering they practise together i'm not that surprised it went the full distance, although i'm not surprised Murray won, Wawrinka seemed to be running on empty in the last set.

Well played by Murray to grind that one out. His first serve will have to improve though, it was utterly rank for most of the match.

Also, is it just me, or has women's tennis taken a nosedive in terms of quality in the last few years? Everyone seems capable of beating each other, but there's no real classy players. No Federers or Nadals, ken fit a mean?

Yeah they are really lacking a big name at the moment. That Safina girl is a very poor number 1. Murray to steamroll ferrero tomorrow.

The women's game is missing a Steffi Graf or a Sanchez Vicario, someone who plays with style. There are too many Russian tennis academy drones.

Murray in 4 tommorow!

I think one of the big problem with the women's game is the length of the matches. They now get paid the same as the men but still only play 3 set matches in the slams. This enables average athletes to get to the top of the game. If the women had to develop the stamina needed for 5 set matches then they might see added benefits to the overall rankings and their general play. Fitter players are generally going to be stronger and quicker.

Murray's just taken Fererro apart in straight sets to reach his first Wimbledon semi-final. Good work

Got home halfway through the first set, and didn't even manage to finish my first beer by the time the match was finished! Settling on watching the Roddick v. Hewitt match...

I still can't decide... is Roddick or Hewitt's wife hotter?

Great to hear you are pondering the important questions. I'd go roddick personally.

Murray was solid today but that means shit all if he's up against federer in the final coz that guy has the game plan to suit any challenger as he proved today. I fancy Murray to get to the final but, barring a surprise in the other semi, Federer is a heavy favourite.

Watching the Hewitt v Roddick match just now. Watched Hewitt v Stepanik earlier in the week and it was an absolute classic. Hewitt was 2 sets down and looked totally out of it but came back to win 3-2. This match is in it's fifth set too, he was down 2-1. The guy just looks so fired up and never ever quits, if Murray doesn't win i hope Hewitt does.
