Game, Set and Match to Bartoli by two sets to Love.

I thought Sloane Stephens might have gone further but I guess it isn't her time just yet.

Nice last 4 line-up though - with the guarantee of not just a first time Wimbledon winner; but a first time GS winner to boot!

Would love a Bartoli - Lisiki final

 . . . with Bartoli winning

That's brilliant isn't it?

In recent years I have to admit to completely losing interest in women's tennis - mainly due to the sheer dominance and predictability of the Williams sisters.

All the doubles matches are scheduled to start at 11:30on courts 2 and beyond.

The men's singles are due on Centre and Court 1 at 1pm.

First up we will have Berdych v Djokovic on Court 1 whilst it's Ferrer v Del Potro on Centre, then to follow it'll be Verdasco v Murray on Centre and

Kubot v Janowicz on Court 1.

The winners of the first two matches will meet for the Semi-Finals and the winners of the second two matches will form the other Semi.

So on paper that should be:-

Djokovic v Ferrer

AND

Murray v Janowicz

But with the way things have gone this year....who knows?

Verdasco and Kubot are unseeded players.

Juan Martín del Potro can beat David Ferrer... i think

I think so too.

Oh no! Del Potro's had an accident, he might not be able to play out the match!!!! And he had break point too, but now Ferrer has held.

Djokovic/Berdych 2-2

Ferrer/Del Potro 1-1

Del Potro has just broken Ferrer!

What a cracking game that was,I am sure that the male players are far more handsome than they were years ago,now to settle down and watch Andy .

So we have a Djokovic/Del Potro Semi-Final

Never ................there has been many a tennis player I've swooned over across the years.

and my all time fave

It was indeed! I was torn between the two, If I stayed too long on one match I was desperate to find out what was going on in the other!

Murray v Verdasco:-

Murray won the toss and has decided to let Verdasco serve first.

Verdasco holds, 1-0 Verdasco 1st set

Murray holds, 1-1
