I was so angry. We sat at Hisense all day to watch him and he just gave up. What was he doing towards his players box? Just completely changed during that 3rd set. Seeing our two best Aussies not give a **** makes me miss Hewitt more and his never say die attitude.

Loved his opponents gracious victory speech. Seemed embarrassed that he won. Looked like he was going to cry. Great moment and brilliant interview by Courier who seemed to understand the moment for the bloke
Never been a big fan of the joker but earnt my respect with his behaviour in defeat.
Just need Murray to lose now and then anyone in the field can win and I will be happy

100% agree with you Bathy. He actually looked embarrassed that he just beat one of the best players to grace a tennis court. Being a tennis fan all my life I do enjoy seeing a big gun get knocked out. Be good to see someone new in a final. Although I'd expect Murray to be in it it's hard to predict who the other could be. With Fed and Nadal slowing down a bit they're now more valunarble when they come up against a top seed.

I would think Raonic or Monfils would be the ones from the bottom half to make a run. Though its Murray's to lose from now on on this surface

Don't discount Rafa, looked in the best shape I've seen him for years. Still needs a bit of luck but would love to see him there at the pointy end

If they both win, Monfils and Rafa play 4th round, should be a cracker

Just not sure whether rafa will go the distance given his lack of game time

Nadal was on Djokovics side of the draw so it opens up nicely for him. Would love to see Raonic make it and win it. One of the best big men around who has more than just a serve as a weapon. Hopefully he doesn't get riddle with injury like Del Potro did

BathyBet I mean Sportsbet have Murray v Field both paying $1.87. Unfortunately I have a few too many Bathybills currently but I'd love to load up on the field. Huge RF and Raff fan so it would be sensational to see one of them in the final

Draw is as wide open as it has been in a decade or more.

Will someone like raonic grab his first or will fed or Nadal get another one
