I thought that Murray had an excellent comeback - doubt he will ever be world number 1 again, but it sure looks as though he could be very competitive.

Massive surprise after Murray had beaten Stan so comfortably last week. Haven’t seen any of the game yet but wasn’t expecting that result.Dimitrov out, wow. Was a nightmare 1st round for both of them really but it would be great to see Wawrinka get back to good form.

That alongside Monfils playing/beating Gasquet have to be two of the biggest games seen in a first round for a long time (would normally expect them to be last 16 ties)
Also great to see the young Brit Swan (19) beat the world #40 in the Womens draw
I'm not a big follwer of Tennis so I'm no expert but I'm just watching Edmund v Djokovic and it occurred to me that a couple of years ago Djokovic was absolutely unplayable, best player in the world by a country mile and I wonder how he has lost form so badly.
The answer I guess is that you can't maintain that level for a long time at the top of the game which led me to another realisation, Federer has been there for over a decade, how does he do it? Is he an automaton or is he just possibly the best player ever, an absolute phenomenon?
Main difference is Djokovic’s game is based on athleticism and out lasting the opponent by chasing every ball. Whereas Federer is so compact in his movement floating around the court with minimal effort that he’s able to be more effective while spending less energy (plus he’s an absolute phenomenon ? )Federer has been there for over a decade, how does he do it? Is he an automaton or is he just possibly the best player ever, an absolute phenomenon?

Anderson now serving for the match. Just broke with Federer making a few bad unforced errors
Wow, definitely didn't see that result!
Fair play to Anderson, was hitting some pretty massive groundstrokes.
Anderson looked the stronger at the end, and served out well, especially after losing the first point.
Can he go further, and win it? Or will he react to that win and play like me* in the semi?
* maybe not that badly!
