    Why does the BBC allow that ape Andrew Castle to commentate,he is insufferable.

    Agreed, he's so partisan.

    Why do the number of sets get lower as the tournament progresses? I thought they would get higher ala snooker darts etc

    Barry Davies should commentate on all the big matches a great of the BBC

    I used think Andrew Castle was annoying til John Inverdale commentated on Gasquet's QF

    If Andy wants to win this he's gonna have to up the aggression, which it now looks like he's doing. That passive bullsh*te isn't going to work on Federer.

    Federer looks in that sort of ominous form he's used to get into where he was making any shot he tried. Murray looks a little impatient or something at the moment.

    Did Rodger even care about the Olympics?

    I think the BBC are over egging that one.

    He wanted it bad, and had said so many times.

    It's the only thing he hasn't won. He's even got Olympic Doubles Gold but no single. Rio will probably be on clay so I don't fancy his chances of getting it now. 2012 was his best shot.

    Rio is on hardcourt.

    He was spent in the final in 2012 ,the semi final with Del potro the previous day was a marathon match.

    Really, I assumed South America would mean clay. Well then, you never know. He might get it yet.

    True, but on paper, Olympics at Wimbledon was the one he should have won.

    But does the Olympics mean anything to professional tennis players?

    I've seen chalk fly on grass. Infact a little flew on Feds Ace in the last game.

    They use titanium dioxide to mark the lines on grass. It's a pigment which is also used to colour anything from paint to food.

    Its been a steady ship from Fed so far. Murray needs to up his game considerably.

    One thing I have always noticed about the roof on centre. Its like its never fully open, ie, juts out more on one side compared to the other.
