I donāt expect either Nadal or Federer to make the semi final.
Nadal is very unlikeable.
He really gets to toffs like you with the blue collar industry and never say die spirit he brings to tennis, youād much rather an arrogant lad in a cardigan going around making snide barbs at match officials and trying to bully them rather than an honest chap who refuses to accept defeat and finds an inner spirit to win points he has no right to.
Seppi has just beaten Federer.

Surely this will be Federerās last year?
I hope so. I see sick note nadal was all better today. Must be the wolverine blood.
His utter dominance over Federer really rankles with you guys, doesnāt it?
If heās playing on to win more Grand Slams, he should quit immediately. He should have quit at the end of 2012.
He doesnāt have more than 2 maybe 3 sets at a push in him and if he doesnāt come out with close to his A game on any given day heās liable to lose to anyone. The roll call of players heās losing to in Slams over the last 3 years is getting fairly ugly now - Seppi, Robredo, Gulbis, Stakhovsky and even Berdych.
If heās playing for the sheer love of the game, god knows how long heāll go on for.
Well, his missus isnāt the best lookingā¦
Its a big tournament now for some of the long touted next generation of top players. I would fancy Dimitrov to beat Murray (assuming they both advance to the quarter final). I have serious doubts as to whether Andy will ever be a really top player again after that back surgery.
Iād give Tomic a good chance of beating Berdych. They met at the Championship last two years and Tomic gave a good account of himself both time before ultimately losing in 4. Heās at a stage now though when he needs to start delivering a few serious scalps.
Kyrgios has a good chance of making the quarters too. Seppi will find it hard to raise his game again after todayās win.
No shocks today. Draw taking shape now as last 16 line up is complete:
Novak Djokovic (SRB) [1] āv- Gilles Muller (LUX)
Feliciano Lopez (ESP) [12]-v- Milos Raonic (CAN) [8]
Stan Wawrinka (SUI) [4] āv-Guillermo Garcia-Lopez (ESP)
David Ferrer (ESP) [9] āv- Kei Nishikori (JPN) [5]
Tomas Berdych (CZE) [7] āv- Bernard Tomic (AUS)
Kevin Anderson (RSA) [14] āv- Rafael Nadal (ESP) [3]
Andy Murray (GBR) [6] āv- Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) [10]
Nick Kyrgios (AUS)-v- Andreas Seppi (ITA)
Nadal through to face Berdych after a straight sets win over Anderson.
Murray vs Dimitrov starting now. Hard one to call but I think Murray might just nick it.
Kyrgios after coming from two sets down against Seppi and is a break up in the 5th. Heās a great character.
On serve now at 6-5 to Kyrgios. On Eurosport 2. Kyrgios is wearing a shirt, the bottom of which looks like a brunch ice cream.
Kyrgios gets it done 8-6. 
Great stuff from Nick the Greek! Hopefully he can get himself up again for the quarter finals. He looked physically shattered last set.
Berdych destroying Nadal so far. 6-2 6-0 and Nadal finally wins a game again, 1-1 in set 3. Nadal hasnāt won a point on his 2nd serve in the match yet.
As I said to you last Wednesday, neither Nadal or Federer will make the semi final. Berdych beats Nadal 6-2 6-0 7-6 in the first of the quarter finals.
