Only one female. Tennis is in a sad state in Australia.

Who'd have thought that in the 2nd round both Nadal and Federer would be knocked out. You would think now that it will be a Murray and Djokovic Final, however with the way the seeds are tumbling who knows.

Didn't expect it either. The Wimbledon officials must be shocked with some of the top seeds going out in the early rounds.

Extremely tough ask to overcome Berdych. Wonder if by Tomic doing so well, will make him re-think his need to have his father as his coach?

Tomic loses in 4 sets and now Berdych will meet Djokovic in the quarters.

By all accounts Tomic played really well and was even gracious in defeat with his appraisal of his oppenent.

Didn't watch the game but saw that 2 sets that Berdych won went to tiebreaks so couldn't have gone either way there. How have you rated Tomic's tournament?

Interesting how this has all panned out.

At the start Murray was in the toughest half which included Rafa and Fed.

Nole was in the easier half.

Now Murray on paper has the easier match compared to Nole.

Fingers crossed Nole can get through and win!
