After all the excitement of Laura Robson's dazzling efforts can focus back on the men now.
Murray really struggled at times v Lopez and Roanic was devastating v Blake. Murray's a great returner, should be one hell of a match!
Fed v Fish, home crowd for Mardy v an in form Fed, who would bet against a 5 setter?
Nole is doing everything he needs to right now, and has blitzed his opponents off court.
I'm at the Paralympics this evening, hope Murray match doesn't start till 01:00 or later so I can get to see it!
Back to the mens

You could only expect a near sell out in each event, here in the UK. We are sports mad!!
Feel slightly ashamed that i have not watched any of it!
The one thing on Murrays side is the match is a night match where he is yet to lose a match, 6 and 0?
I really hope ive not put the mockers on him now

Another thing which might make you a fraction more positive is that Andy Murray is ten times the player James Blake is, and if there is anyone who will be meeting a player of a slightly higher class than he has done up to now, then it is Raonic
Andy to beat him in 3 sets.

Murray can deal with the big servers, just hope he's on his game tonight.

Hope so Maksi. But Andy does struggle against a ball basher!!!
They only way Andy will win is by playing agressive Tennis and taking away Raonic's time on the ball!
I do really see this as a dangerous match!

Murray needs to just focus on making sure he holds serve, cracks will eventually appear in Raonic serve.

Good morning all
I see Raonic found the level of tennis that comes at the business end of these tournaments a little hot to handle?
Andy has been playing at this level for years.
Easy win and he marches on.

Wasn't great to see Murray muttering to himself in early points but v big server you just need to hold your Steve as theirs will crack at some point.
Excellent win for Murray, Raonic definitely one to watch for the future.
Hope Mardy Fish is ok.

What a magnificent performance from Andy, some fantastic shot making. He really did make easy work of Raonic! I should have shared your confidence Maksi
Raonic will surely be a contender in the next few years?

i stayed up to watch it and glad i did, shattered now right enough
that was an absolute masterclass from Andy. every shot in the book was there and neutralised possibly the best serve in tennis.
Raonic will be even more dangerous in the next few years
