Should demolish him on grass. Should.

He has never won against him on grass! They've played 3 or 4 times, and granted the last time was in 2013 and Dimitrov has improved, but still - hope he breaks the "curse" tomorrow/today, as I'll probably be up watching... No loss yet with me watching him I think lol

Nadal is slowly turning in to the Tiger Woods of tennis. I wouldn't completely write him off but it's a remarkable slide in form. Injuries looking like they may have finished him

Shame - you could see yesterday that his head had gone. On his day he's unbeatable though.

The quote below is spot on too - all the pressure was on Nadal, like Everton playing a lower league side in the cup.

They have an advantage because they literally are expected to be hammered, although Brown had beaten Nadal on grass before so I wonder did he also have a double mental advantage?

They key is acting like it means nothing when it means everything.

Can see wawrinka being pushed a bit for the first time today- see what he's made of

I thought Dimitrov plays well earlier than he actually plays.

FFS.

In his early years Djokovic used to fall apart in long matches, but after going gluten-free in 2010 he has pretty much been the top player ever since, going from strength to strength in contrast to Rafael who loves pasta but whose physical decline is now well under way. Now I don't say that it's a magic bullet, but Rafael for needs to look beyond training and Tennis, and more to his health in order to get the best out of the rest of his career. As a sportsman, as you get older, your body will not forgive you unless you feed and fuel it correctly.

Dimitrov starting rather slow as usual...

.....Raonic is like a robot, big hitting serve but expressionless. Notice both him and Kygios have one arm covered and one short sleeved.

I am actually so pissed off at Dimitrov right now.

This match has got 5 sets written all over it. Quite boring to watch when you've got two massive servers

Well in the Dimitrov - Gasquet match Dimitrov keeps serving quite well, but failing to return anything properly and losing, so it's a back and forth exercise of annoyance really.

Think I'll switch over to that one. This Kyrgios/Raonic match is just an exercise in serving...
