Can't see him winning the French but I reckon he could win another half a dozen majors.

If he did win them both though it would be a "Super Slam" not a Grand Slam as he has won the Olympics and the end of year World Championship thing.  Only Agassi has ever competed a men's singles Super Slam so would be some achievement.

Only Djokovic stopped him in French last year so why can't he win it?

Djokovic out! Murray has every chance now. Only maybe Federer in his way....

Great win for Konta today against Wozniacki losing only 3 games. How about an Andy and Johanna double!

Dan Evans has a lovely single-handed backhand.

Another major shock Murray loses to a player aged 29, who has previously not got passed the 3rd round in a major. Only watched the last set, whilst gutted for Murray, it was good to see a player winning a game, using serve and volley tactics for a change.

Sadly as expected Dan Evans is also out. Have no idea, whose going to win it now.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Murray game, Zharev was superb and it's nice to see an underdog for years finally get some time to shine. He fully deserved it.

Murray will win the Aussie. Be good to get career grand slam polished off this year.

Good call!

Last Brit standing Jo Konta through to the quarters, still to drop a set. Next up Serena, I reckon she might lose a set in that one, on her way to the semis.

Whilst I'm disappointed that Murray is out, with him and Djokovic being knocked out, it does make the tennis a bit more exciting.

Just hope that Monfils can knock out the cheating, whinging, arse-picking, rat-faced Nadal now and then I can enjoy the tournament fully.

Until reading this thread I had no idea that Sirandy had been knocked out. I had SkySports News on several times yesterday and it wasn't mentioned and didn't appear on the scroll. I assume that because Sky don't have the TV rights, they don't give Tennis much attention

They had it scrolling across the yellow ticker when I switched onto it to be fair.

She is a convict really.
