I think this must have messed with Nadal's head. Literally

 

[Merlin5]

Dimitrov has pulled it back to 4-4 in the 3rd set! I wonder if he can win this set and take it to a 4th.

Federer through.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

His run to the title looks brutal on paper, possibly his toughest ever, but if he can deal with Dimitrov that easily can anyone stop him?

 

[Merlin5]

I think of all the top players, Federer has won all his matches more easily and convincingly with straight sets wins. He's the man to beat.


Meanwhile, Nadal is looking like he's about to go out.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Match point.

 

[Merlin5]

Hope it gets to deuce!

Yes...

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Balls of steel.

 

[Merlin5]

Back from the brink. 5-5. Exciting!

 

[marc2003]

Impressive stuff from Muller. After getting pegged back to 2-2, you'd have thought Nadal would have run away with the 5th.

 

[Merlin5]

Yep, he's done really well. Still anyone's match.

Djokovic match has been pushed back all evening, new time is 7.30pm.

It's due on court 1 but they're surely going to have to move it to centre court and use the roof.

Joined just at the right time, looks like a decent came.

Poor Nadal in that tunnel

 

[marc2003]

Standard from Nadal but you just don't expect this from Muller.

 

[el_dazza]

This is turning into a classic.

 

[Merlin5]

This is an amazing match. Nadal keeps pulling incredible things out of his bag of tricks whenever he's in trouble.

Matchpoint again though to Muller!

 

[el_dazza]

What a chance on that second serve as well.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

What a shot!

 

[el_dazza]

10 all. Get the kettle on folks.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

The longer this match goes on the easier Cilic will brush them aside.

 

[Merlin5]

Lol, this could turn out like that Isner v Mahut Wimbledon match in 2010.
6-4 3-6 6-7 7-6, 70-68.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Operation human shield.
