Big hold for Djokovic that to take a 4-1 lead in the second set. Both of the last two games had lengthy deuces and Djokovic won both.

One of the all time great matches.

If you can, watch the *3-4 game in the 4th set on YouTube. Highest quality single game I've ever seen. 12 straight high quality, back and forth clean winners.

Anyone fancy Robredo to upset Ferrer today? Great effort to come back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 in his last few games but maybe the hours will get to him for this one.

Kuznetsova has taken the second set against Serena Williams, saved three break points whilst serving it out. Upset possibly on the cards.

Serena Williams vs Kuznetsova (6-1, 3-6) at the moment, while Errani is in the lead with 6-4, 4-3 against Radwanska. Go, Sara, go!  ;D

Absolutely fantastic match this. Massive hold for Williams in that last game to avoid going a double break down.

Edit: And Williams gets the break back in the very next game. Only one winner now you would think.

Tough one to call. Wouldn't be surprised if Tsonga won but i think Federer will just about get through it.

Fuck knows what he's doing here! Although he's my favourite ever player hopefully it continues as I've got absolutely no interest in seeing Fed - Ferrer and potentially Fed - Nadal.

Tsonga wins the second set as well. You never know of course, but with the way Tsonga and Federer have played so far I really can't see Federer coming back from this.

Federer double faults on break point to hand Tsonga the break in the first game of the third set. Federer just hasn't turned up today.

Get in Tsonga! It would be fucking brilliant if he went on to win it.

Even getting to the final will be tough though, Ferrer looks to be playing very well.

That missed overhead smash by Federer just summed it up - he is long way off Nadal and Djokovic in this very moment.

Federer's backhand isn't the wand it once was. It's weak now and power and accuracy beats it.

Would love to see Tsonga go on and win it now. Be nice to see someone new win a grand slam and a Frenchman in his home slam at that.
