I admit I haven't really been able to focus on any match of his until this one. He hits the ball big. Can you imagine what he's going to be like when he gains a bit more control? Definite future number 1 I think. And thank goodness it's going to be someone I can stand watching!

Just wish he had a one handed backhand though! :)

I would prefer a ton of players above him, but he is definitely entertaining to watch, huge game. Lacks brains though, that will hurt him.

Yeah mentally he is def not there (yet).

5 - 2 down in the second.

Good news is that I get to see Djokovic sooner.

Just got home from work to find Murray up a set and a break! :clap

And now up by 2 breaks and Kyrgios calls the trainer.

It appears to be attributed to a wrist injury. That's too bad. Anyways don't really have a preference between Murray and Kyrgios, I like the "new" Murray enough not to want him to lose.

Give it time. If he can get that control, he'll be terrifying. He's just young

^ I think given the way the Murray match is going, it's time to switch to Nole

Kokkinakis is another player I haven't really watched. What a talent. He seems comfortable from the baseline against Novak. Early days of course. I can't imagine he'll be able to sustain the resistance against Novak given his 5 setter, but his game does look cleaner than Nick's. A lot of power there as well

Thank goodness for Eurosport 1 and 2 in England. Just flicking between to watch Novak and Andy. Spending more time on the Novak match now though. Don't think the other is going to last more than another 20 minutes
