I'm guessing Djokovic is pretty worn out at the moment, mentally if not physically.

I'm cheering a little for Del Potro, it's nice to have him back.

Remarkable to see Djokovic that lost today. Andy Murray is now the favourite to win the tournament, but he'll probably screw up somewhere along the way.

I'm hoping this will open up the door for Federer to get his 8th Wimbledon title.

Federer has injured back. You can see that he is in a lot of pain when he plays. But with Djoković out his chances are increased.

+ 1.

 

[Night Prowler]

I hope not, he has enough.

 

[Black Wizard]

Yeah, time for him to share.

Better for the sport if Andy Murray wins. Better yet if someone else wins.

I'm cheering for Federer and Tsonga. Murray is the favourite, of course.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

The Murray/Fed. final is still on!

Did the same.

Milos Raonic defeated Federer today, and becomes the first Canadian male to reach the finals of a Grand Slam tournament.

Stan Wawrinka takes out Novak Djokovic to win the U.S. Open. It's his 3rd major title, and first U.S. Open trophy. He now only needs a Wimbledon title for a Career Grand Slam.

 

[Lampwick 43]

Anyone following the Australian Open? Djokovic was upset in the 2nd round. Murray, Federer, and Nadal are all still alive.

 

[Ariana]

I am. Our boy Dimitrov is currently playing Gasquet for a place in the Last 16.

EDIT: And he made it!

 

[LooseCannon]

Murray is apparently out.

 

[Lampwick 43]

Murray is apparently out.

Yup. He lost to Mischa Zverev, a German who's ranked no. 50 in the world. (Murray is ranked no. 1)

My dream is that we get a Nadal - Federer Final.
