Maria Redsox is currently injured, therefore tennis does not exist at the moment.

Murray going well so far, as is Federer, who had an interestingly easy time against Tsonga. Does he have one last title run in him?

Supporting 'anyone but Nadal' as usual.

He's changed his racket, which seems to be helping at the moment. I'd like Federer to have one last hurrah, as he's been one of the great sportsmen of his or indeed any generation.

I just can't see him being able to beat Murray, Nadal and Djokovic in succession though.

And now working with Stefan Edberg I read somewhere? Brilliant, my favourite modern tennis player working with my favourite player ever.

Seems to be a trend of hiring 80/90s players as coaches just now - Lendl with Murray, Becker with Djokovic and Edberg with Federer. Now that would be a brilliant doubles series!

Novak getting a real test 2 sets to 1 down.. just watching  djokovic is fascinating.
Federer is expected to beat Murray Wednesday morning the legend fed has played a lot more tennis recently that he has done previous few seasons ...and Murray only just come back. Rfed proving he still awesome and a crowd favorite. Will be a good match up but roger to take that one

Djokovic - Wawrinka now 5-5 in the final set, both players having broken serve once this set.

If by watching you mean checking the BBC website every 10 minutes or so, then yes, I am watching :-)

Always nice to see a shock, just need Nadal to go out now and I'll be happy.

Wawrinka was playing some great stuff at the US Open so I'm not sure just how much of a shock it is. Obviously a shock that Djokovic is out so early though.

Federer partying like it's 2005. However, I can't see even him beating Nadal in the semis - Nadal's had his weak match, that's it for the tournament.

Now that Azarenka's been knocked out, I challenge anyone to name (without looking it up) two of the women's semi-finalists.

Well, remembering who was in the earlier rounds I'll go for Li Na and Ana Ivanovic, but may have now been knocked out.

I think Cibulkova knocked out Sharapova.
