Yeah, at midnight I think.
Fantastic to see Caro’s form take up since she got rid of that pube headed cunt 
She should get to the final. Delighted she beat that screaming wench Sharapova.
Nishikori takes the 5th set 6-4 to knock out Stan. Terrific match, best of the tournament so far. Two huge scalps for him taking out Raonic, No. 5 seed in last round and now Stan, the No. 3 seed. He’s been on court for more than 8 hours in those two matches. At least he’s not back in action again until Saturday.
Good in patches last night from Andy, but Novak a comfortable enough winner in 4. Andy just hasn’t been able to get back to the level he was at, since the back operation this time last year.
Cilic a set up on Berdych.

When I seen the nishikori match going to a fifth set I thought he would retire as he usually does. Bet he carries an injury into his semi final with djokovic.
Djokovic is on another level this year. I still think Murray is getting over the back operation and only recently said he was back to training 100%. Next year I would expect Murray to be back challenging.
The Greatest came back from 2 sets down and saved 2 match points before beating Monfils in 5.
Cilic up next for him

It was pretty fraught stuff from Roger. He showed champion resolve to dig so deep but he was helped by the fact that physically, Monfils flagged very badly the longer the match went on. Cilic has been impressive this tournament, but I would expect a straight set win for the Great Man there.
How is our girl Caro progressing?
Semi final today. She should make the final.
That was a bad end to the wozniacki match. Very difficult to watch that Chinese girl trying to play when she could barely stand and then been wheeled off the court in a wheelchair.
Nishikori and Djokovic are in a third set tie-break here having shared the first two sets. Nishikori served for the set at 5-4 but Djokovic broke back immediately. It’s 5-2 to Nishikori here.
Nishikori takes a mistakes riddled tie-break 7-4. Djokovic got it back on serve at 4-5 before Nishikori took the last two points on the Djokovic serve. Double faults creeping into both players’ games now.
Novak in real bother now. Nishikori breaks first game of the fourth set.
Still on serve. 4-2 to Nishikori in the 4th.
Nishikori holds to love. 5-3.
Are the big 4 in decline or are the chasing pack making ground?
Perhaps a bit of both but definitely more of the former. Nadal is losing his battle with injuries more and more as the years progress, Djokovic seems to be having some very peculiar problems with his stamina - some days he is like the marathon man and other days he looks to be badly out on his feet after one set - he particularly seems to struggle in the midday heat. Murray has regressed badly ever since he parted ways with Lendl. Federer seems to have more or less kept his form in check and has taken advantage of the drop in the others.
Nishikori breaks and wins the set and match!
Novak is out. Nishikori wins in four 6-4 1-6 7-6 6-3

More a drop off from the big 4. Playing at the top for so long has taken a physical toll on all but Federer, who is now reaping the benefits of having a less demanding style of play. I really think coming back from the op is a bigger deal for Murray than the coach switch, seems to be the consensus from any ex-pro who has been through that kind of a back injury anyway. We’ll see next year I’d suppose.
