I'll be impressed if Roger wins in 3. Quite possibly 4 though. That said, Kei's serving can be extremely poor so if Roger takes care of his own serve well, then he may win in 3. Needs to win quickly to be fresh to face Murray.

Yes. Fed will win one way or other today. But his chances against Andy might crucially depend on how fast he gets it done today.

While Micha Zverev played well, Murray downplayed to his level. This is where Murray is using more of his brain than his instinct.

Muzz in all kinds of trouble. Down 2 sets to 1 and a break in the 4th to older brother of Sascha.

This is one of those matches in which Murray is using too much of his head rather than just playing aggressive tennis. This allowed Micha to frustrate and outmaneuver him all round the court. Once Murray realizes that he does not need to play cat and mouse with Micha, he could win this match.

Stan takes the first 2 sets in breakers. I like this Evans kid. He takes the breaker over Jo Willie.

But will he figure it out in time? He's got 3 more games or he's toast. :s

It looks I am wrong...Murray's head in his return game is just all over place.

That's the problem when a player mess around and allowed another player to have a lot of confidence.

Murray allowed Micha to hang around especially on his own serve and he might lose the match.

I will tell you this: Micha had answered the bell in this 4th set. He did not allowed Murray to dictate the points.

While the shock value are the same, the Murray-Zverev match is more disappointing match than Istomin-Djokovic especially if you are Murray fan.

Murray was outplaying Zverev in the 1st set until Murray decided to let his own head get to him. Since that 5-4 game in the 1st set, Murray allowed Zverev to frustrate him all match long and it cost him the match.

I give full credit to Micha though because he used those opportunitues to strike Murray especially in the 4th set. He made some tough volleys and did not allowed Murray to gain momentum. So, kudos to him!

Yes, fedal is a possibility. A lot depends on wawrinka. How he shows up. Ridiculous. We were talking about a possible first week match between Federer and Rafa and here we are talking about the possibility of a fedal final. Times change quickly. However, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Many obstacles in the path. But none that is insurmountable.

Fed dropping serve already to Samurai. Not the start he wanted

Kei is returning great already early on but I think Roger will break right back as Kei's serving sucks.

Kei looks great, Roger looks like he wants to party like it's 2013.

Roger's got his work cut out for him if Kei continues returning this well.
