Thanks, it's been weird. The commentators were talking about because the rain was odd. There was stoppage, but then some on some other courts play resumed, so I was so confused. I thought there were two courts based. I noticed that too. I was looking online and some courts stopped, but others didn't. That's why I was shocked that Novak's match was suspended.

Hopefully, Novak will come back refreshed and play better. Not a good thing for someone so valuable to the tournament to go out so early.

Certainly staring down a barrel. 2 sets down... Looks like it started raining at the right time for the Serb. Big job to come back but one man who is equipped for the job.

Watching the replay I see that Querrey was playing very good, serve and shots but the rain has helped Novak a lot. We'll see tomorrow how much the Becker's advice can help Novak but if Querrey would play like today I doubt Novak could win

Didn't really see this coming. Tiebreak maybe but a second set breadstick. Massive day for Novak on Saturday...

I'm sure he'll be ready tomorrow. That was unreal. I wonder how Sam is feeling being up two sets to none and now being under pressure to repeat that feat tomorrow, or whenever they play. Sam was in the moment, but now he's got too much time to think about it. A bad situation for them both.

Novak just seemed out of sorts, like he wasn't expecting that aggression from Sam; which was a big mistake. Now that he has time to regroup, I'm sure he'll get it done. Can Sam replicate what he did today without facing a stiff test from Novak? I don't think so. I would be surprised if he did.

What a day, Serena and Venus barely escaping. Feliciano digging himself out of a hole, and Stan going down, or was that yesterday, LOL. Strange tournament so far.

What about that British guy that Federer played today? I've never heard of him, what do you know about him? I didn't even see his ranking. Is he a good prospect for the British? It was obvious that he lacked experience, but his game wasn't bad, just too many errors.

Ha ha ha, Novak and the crazy eyes. He scares me at times, LOL!

I'd be surprised if Novak didn't turn it around... but Sam's always got a chance while he's serving well. One set....

Must watch entertainment.

By the way, Novak is still the clear bookies favourite. His odds are 1.57, Querrey is at 2.37.

So would I. I can't believe that Novak won't regroup. I can't imagine the bookies would be that skittish over today's match. That would be crazy.

Dan is 26, so probably not what you'd call a prospect these days.. and basically an honest journeyman. He's currently at his highest career ranking. He probably wouldn't go much further into the Top 50. Kyle Edmund is probably the best prospect at the moment coming out of GB.

Thanks, that's terrible when you're only 26 and it represents a crossroad in your career. Usually, I'm familiar with the players, but he and Marcus Willis I had never heard about. At least he made it to the main draw. That's a great thing and should be celebrated. We tennis fans have gotten too spoiled, but these guys need acknowledgement too for hanging in there.

Yep, Sam was very inspired making very good serve and shots but tomorrow is another day and maybe he couldn't be able to repeat that good game. But I said for long time that most of the players are not playing well and honesty I'd like to see better competition and more 'inspired' days like I saw the previous years

Zverev is locked in a fifth set decider with Mikhail Youhzny after being two sets up. He's 2-1 up in the decider before rain called an early end to proceedings... and it's on serve.

I hadn't heard of Marcus Willis either... nice article here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tennis/2...ackle-the-darker-side-of-the-marcus-willis-f/

Question, I don't see Vesely playing tomorrow, what is going on with him?
