rafa is being very defensive on muller's serve though, not helping him...

Murray is walking like a Weeble. I see the Ladies were unhappy with scheduling again and I agree. They need to split the 4th Round. Having the French champion against the 4th seed on an outside court is ridiculous. Kerber v Muga outside as well.

Almost certainly.
Then it is all on Cilic as to whether he has the bottle to beat the big boys when it matters.

Yeah Manny v Djokovic on a main court instead of Kerber is a little silly.
Surely they could do 4 games on the 2 main courts on Monday with a Midday start would be the fairest for everyone? The girls have been shafted somewhat over the years, pretty sure Serena was on court number 2 a few years ago at this stage

don't you value "tradition" at all?

It just seems odd to me how newer players haven't emerged for top rankings in tennis for a while now. Sampras emerged quite young as did Referee and Nadal. Where is the next big champion, I wonder.

yeah but 17 errors is outstanding for a 5 hour match even by rafa's standards and 77 winners is also unusually high for him...

He served as big as Muller in terms of service speeds and nearly as many aces.
What lost him the match was his rather conservative return position in the 5th set and inability to get into Muller's service games apart from that one game where he had 4 BPs. Got unlucky with the bad call and overrule on the 2nd serve, and Muller then promptly served an ace.
Was extremely impressed with Muller's ground game, volleying and composure in the 5th. Looked better and better in the long rallies as the match progressed, counter-intuitively.
