Two sets all in the Czech derby (Berdych v Vesely).

For Murray's sake I'm hoping that the latter comes through, as I've never heard of him before this tournament.

Just seen Kerber beat Halep. Not a fan of women's tennis, but have to say that was a cracking match.

Cilic takes the first set against Federer on a tie break. Don't think either had a break point before the tiebreak.

Think this is the hardest Quarter-Final to call.

Cilic 2 sets up and it's looking gloomy for Federer, in what may be his last real chance of a Grand Slam.

Raonic is also 2 sets up against Querrey, with late breaks in each set.

Murray has undoubtedly got the easier side of the draw. If he beats Tsonga, which he should, he probably will meet Berdych in the semi, as oppose to possible meetings with Raonic, Cilic or even Federer, though that seems unlikely at the moment, as he is sets down, at the moment.

Murray should have the easier draw, he's the top seed left in it  :)

I don't think there's a huge amount of difference between Raonic and Berdych. Raonic probably has the more devastating serve, but Berdych has way more experience.

Federer wins the 3rd set, whilst Querrey is just hoping to hold serve and maybe get to a tiebreak against Raonic in the 3rd set.

The matches are mirroring each other as Querrey wins the 3rd set 7-5.

Cilic struggles whenever you can get him to come forwards, away from the baseline.

Tiebreak in the 4th set between Cilic and Federer; Cilic had 1 match point in Federer's last service game.

Federer wins the tiebreak 11-9 to take it to a 5th set! Great stuff. Both players had chances to win it and failed.

Raonic through I think, missed the end of this one.

Federer into the Semi-Finals after coming from 2-0 down.

Might flip onto the other match, never seen Pouille before.

Good to watch a game of tennis without grunting and the like from the players.

Murray's aggression is down today and he's struggling.

Don't worry he's got Lendl's enthusiastic backing behind him!

You smell quite Pouille.
