I'm also looking forward to it. I think its great to see Safin doing well again and it looks like he has a good chance of getting to the semi final. His matches have been really good to watch. Federer will win his match. I want Nadal to beat Murray. Its great what Murray has done but Nadal is my fave player. Plus i want to see a Nadal nd Federer showdown. I'm not too bothered about the unseeded match.

I hope the rain isn't gonna be the winner today. Was looking forward to Federer v Ancic.

The women's final I think is gonna be boring if the Williams sisters both get through. And loud to with all the grunting Rolling Eyes

Safin is being dominated so far 4-2 down in the first set. Federer took the first set against Ancic very quickly.

Play now f*cking suspended!

Nadal has control of second set. Murray has no chance of a come back here. Not against Nadal. I'm really happy that Safin came back from 1-0 down to win 3-1. It looks like the break due to the rain helped him out. Should be a good semi between Federer and Safin. Federer to win though.

I hate how they are making excuses for Murray. Saying he is tired, its not his day and nothing is going for him. Thats a load of rubbish. The truth is he is just not good enough.

Piece of P*ss for Federer, Nadal always in control against the Whinger, the latter making some quite embarrassing errors at times. I thought Safin was done for in the early stages but he fought back well and beat Lopez.

Is the same with any brittish player.

Nadal is playing the best in tennis right now

Jammy how murray got through? I have watched every game he has played at wimbledon and he has not been jammy at all. Did well in every game he played in apart from nadal who tore him apart.

Embarrassing errors? Nadal just played better simple as that. But to say embarrassing i feel is wrong

Poor old Andy Murray. He did SO well to come back from 2 sets down to beat Gasquet but you knew it was always gonna be a different story against Nadal. The guy is an absolute machine. Looks all set for Federer Nadal final again then, although i reckon the Safin Federer semi could be a CORKER! come on Marat, deprive that Swiss kermit soundalike a 6th successive Wimbledon win!

Nadal was on a completely different quality level to Murray. As I posted earlier(Which got deleted due to the recent problem with the forum), Murray had no chance to beat Nadal and I said it'll be an enormous effort to even take a set out of him. And it just happened. Nadal never looked disturbed or uncomfortable.

@G_Man. Yes Murray made some bad errors and the match wasn't even close. Nadal's serve didn't go to deuce for the whole match. Also, I think the no. of mishits from Murray was around 10 which is high IMO...

Yes Nadal was by far the better player, but Murray made some criminal mistakes at times.

Although Murray made a few unforced errors, I believe he was pressured into finding a brilliant winner (thus making an error) as he knew that Nadal would keep the ball coming back. But even if Murray didn't make as many mistakes, there's no way he'd have won this match. Nadal outclassed him in every department. Quite simply, he is a much better player. Too quick, too strong, too smart...too damn good for the wee jock whinger.

I can't wait for the final, which will surely be contested between Nadal and Federer. Although Federer played excellently yesterday, Nadal still has my vote - I tip him to win it in 4 sets. Federer will be worried about how to handle those vicious swerving Shane Warne like topspinners. He can't handle them on clay, and the modern grasscourts play more like clay than a hardcourt now i.e. they are slower hence you see less serve and volleying.
