General, Lady TT, well, I'm kind of relieved we didn't get the Nadal-Federer match. I don't think it would have been pretty.
As we've talked about, Rafa just doesn't have it to call upon when needed. He's now lost 2 straight to Lopez who will be 34 next month, who played well and with confidence, like he knew he had a good chance to beat Rafa. Before this year, Rafa had not lost to Lopez since 2010 on grass at Queens.
Commiserations to Kevin Anderson who suffered his worst defeat on tour ever, losing to Roger Federer 6-1, 6-1 in 50+ minutes.
But I think anyone in the tournament playing today would have lost to Roger as well as he played. This court suits him.
Congratulations to Roger who will play Lopez next.
Both Djokovic and Murray were fortunate to win their battles.
Dimitrov was up 5-2 in the decider and lost the final 5 games and had match points, but really got nervous and couldn't cross the finish line.
And poor David Goffin had a 3-0 lead in the decider, after winning the second set easily 6-2, and breaking Novak twice to start the 3rd set, then got nervous and lost 6 straight games, while Djokovic only had 2 winners in the set.
Let's see what happens in the quarter finals.
Respectfully,
