How boring are you?
Talking of boring, I wish the BBC would show John Inverdale the door. He's such a cock; completely full of himself and never seems to have much of a clue.

| Murray made it look easy last night, he was never in trouble and he should hopefully do the same with his next opponent.

| Federer first up on Centre at 13.00. Djokovic third on. Serena is a set up already.
Down to last 32, and theoretically seeds playing lower seeds.

I'd be surprised if he serves at 70%+ again in the tournament tbh. It's how well he copes when he's having to bang a higher percentage of second serves in that could dictate how far he goes.

5 - 1 in the 4th though and serving. Game over.

| Murray 3rd up on Centre again, so could be looking at 5 or 6 pm again. Depends how long Roddick takes against Melzer beforehand.
Brilliant match last night between Tommy Haas and Marin Cillic. They had to come off for bad light with the score at 6 - 6 in the last set, both having had match points.
It's a bit of a lottery now as either could just win with a minimum of 2 games. The momentum and dynamic is completely different to last night.

| Haas wins it 10 - 8. Deserved it.
6th seed Jelena Jankovic bottles it for a change against 17 year old American qualifier Mel Oudin. Ana Ivanovic had her head on for a change and won surprisingly easily against Aussie Sam Stosur.

| A Rod ripping it up.
A Murray v Roddick semi could be a great match.

| Roddick drops the third 6-4 after taking the first two in tie breaks.
I still feel there's not enough variety in Roddick's game to challenge the top four. Not comfortable at the net, and playes far too much behind the base line which you ca't get away with on grass against the best.
If Murray can get his first serve % up there against Roddicks if/when they meet in the semis, I'm confident he can beat him.

| Roddick is still pretty much just a big serve artist. I don't enjoy watching pure big serve/no rally battles at all. My nightmare match would be Roddick vs Karlovic. No breaks of serve and four sets going to a tie-break, then the last, over a period of 5 and a half hours.

Womens 5th seed Svetlana Kuznetsova bombs out against unseeded German Sabine Lisicki in 2.

| Murray won easily in 3, and next plays a fellow young gun and regular opponent Stan Wawrinka.

NO! He is Scottish in my mind, just as he likes it unless the English are backing him!
