    Hope not, I really don't like him and he's not at all popular behind the scenes.

    Really, I thought Djoc was the unpopular one and Federer was Mr Nice Guy. Perhaps that's just with the fans.

    Djokovic confirms that he won't play in the Davis Cup against us later this month.

    I have a friend who works for the ATP, travels the world with the tour and is on site this fortnight at Wimbledon. He says that Federer is arrogant, impatient and rude to the staff behind the scenes. They all vote at the end of the year for their favourite players - it's normally between Nadal, Murray and Djokovic for the favourite but those three are always in the top 5. Federer is never in the top 10. Speaks volumes...

    I hope there's nothing seriously wrong. Hopefully he's just tired.

    Very interesting Saturday!! Having completed the career GS, Djoko looked very jaded both physically and mentally. Well played to Big Sam for taking full advantage of a below par Djoko. I do not know which part of the draw the young Aussie Krygios is in, hopefully on the other half from Murray, Maybe he can step up to the plate and prove himself by getting to the final and even winning it!!

    That would be the "dream" final. I hope someone emerges from the Djoko side of the draw and get to the final. Which side of the draw is Krygios? This could be the start of a new wave winning GS.

    If Kyrgios wins his 3rd round match which he's playing now he'll meet Murray next...

    I don`t like Federer either, too smug - wearing a cardigan after games from his own clothing range, with his initials on it. Naff.

    Krygios may not be everybody's "cup of tea" but if he can win his third round match, Murray will feel the pressure. I do sense someone will remove Federer before the final.

    Maybe, but Murray's record against Kyrgios is 4 out of 4. Federer could meet Cilic in the next round if they both get through; it'll be either Cilic or Nishikori who certainly wasn't 100% fit when I saw him beginning of the week.

    He's not everybody's cup of tea because he's a complete knob.

    I guess he's entertaining though.

    What is it about Isner? Is he trying to beat his own record?

    Some way to go before the record is broken. Isner beat Mahut 70-68 in the final set in 2010.

    Yes Tom. I know, my point was it's another long 5th set with Isner involved.
