Apparently Netflix were making a documentary about Kyrgios and tsisipas and recording footage from this match

[Harry]

Kyrgios had the talent to be so much more, but his temperament has doomed him. He's uncoachable.

[Tommy]

Two Germans in the quarter finals!

Watched Jule Niemeier vs. Heather Watson on the tablet next to F1. She played amazing!

Cam Norrie keeps the British interest alive. His first run to a Grand Slam QF, well done to him.

[Stan]

Shame about Alcaraz. Sinner was just too good for him in the end. Very bright future for both.

Djokovic two sets down

[Tommy]

Remarkable achievement for Tatjana Maria. She's a two time mother as well.  

 

But I was rooting for Jule! Still a great run for her first Wimbledon appearance.

Goffin and Norrie going to the wire. Thought Goffin was on track to take it in four but Norrie has been really gutsy to stay in it and is playing his best tennis toward the end of the decider.

[RandoEFC+]

Norrie wins and makes the semi finals, very well done.

[Lucas]

Annoying to see Djokovic come back but even when they are two sets down, you'd still not back against Novak or Rafa to turn it around.

There are rare occasions of course bit usually the rest are not quite at that level enough to go for the kill against these guys.

Hoping for a Kygrios/Rafa semi tomorrow. That one would really fascinate me.

[Pyfish+]

Was impressed by Jannik Sinner v Djokovic - did well to take the 2 set lead and fought to the very end to give a good game to Novak.

[Stan]

Rafa looks injured

 

[Lucas]

Kygrios breezed through. He's getting better as he goes, that serve is really clicking for him.

Gameface on for him now, he's in uncharted waters, first Grandslam semi, you'd back him for the final at this rate.

[Stan]

Can't believe Nadal got through

Left just before the 4th and thought he'd end up retiring hurt. Shocked but happy to see he went through! 

[Stan]

Is this dodgy? Or nothing to be worried? 

 

[RandoEFC+]

Kyrgios is due to face some sort of domestic assault charge when he returns to Australia. Another reason not to buy into the "oh he's such a maverick, McEnroe come again, people just don't like him because he's confident and Wimbledon people are just being snooty and he's *Box Office*" stuff. He's a tit.

[Stan]

Sensational 

 

[Machado]

The mad man is going to do it  Nadal injured, Djokovic looks very beatable and the crowd is only going to be behind one man.

Nadal has withdrawn now, shame.

[Tommy]

Never thought I'd be rooting for Kyrgios, but here we are. 

[Lucas]

Shame for Nadal but ultimately I think asking to win a semi and a final was going to be too much with the abdominal pain.

It almost feels like it's Kyrgios' year, it's all falling his way and when he takes to the court on Sunday, he'll be well rested since Wednesday.

He's playing really well, as I mentioned before, that serve is clicking. He will never have a better chance.

Fingers crossed he can pull out another big performance. He could well have a lot of the crowd on his side.

[Stan]

Oh Rafa

 

Good luck to Norrie! Hope he wins the whole thing.

Djokovic v Norrie is live now on Centre Court.

Norrie broke Novak's serve for game 1, with Novak then doing the same to Norrie for game 2.

[Stan]

Easy for Djokovic in the end. Norrie never seemed to have the consistency after the first set. Almost tried too hard. 

Hope he beats Kyrgios. Don't necessarily like Djokovic but can almost tolerate him more than Kyrgios. And he's definitely more talented. 

[RandoEFC+]

Fair play to Norrie for taking that first set, more than I thought he'd be able to pull off, but ultimately comfortable for Djokovic.

You'd expect Djokovic to get the win on Sunday but Kyrgios is one of those players who despite being ranked 40th in the world is probably in the top ten that you'd back to potentially pull off the win against an all time great in his first Grand Slam final.

Djokovic a clear favourite though.
