Kyrgios believes he is popular in the locker room and that Tsitsipas has 'issues'. Funniest shit ever.

Nadal also had a go at Sonego for screaming during Nadal's swing today, high drama over very little. Nadal still looks amazing.

In fairness, Tsitsipas was no saint yesterday. I think he was more of an asshole than Kyrgios.

For sure, but it's a hilarious new level of a lack of self-awareness.

Norrie and Watson have been such pleasant surprises.

There was a centre court centenary ceremony today and damn - what a gathering.

And perhaps the biggest reception went to the retiring Sue Barker.

It's a shame some of the other champions weren't available for the ceremony, getting Sampras, Agassi, Graf and Serena in among those that were would be incredible.

Perhaps it's wrong to assume, but I'm guessing that Martina Navratilova wasn't there because Margaret Court was, and frankly they shouldn't have invited her. Angelique Kerber's facial expression and forced applause when she walked out said it all.

Sinner is a set and double break up against Djokovic.

Make that 2 sets up.

lol, Novak wins.

Cam Norrie has been having a tough time over on No. 1 against David Goffin. Just doesn't look altogether comfortable despite rallying to win the second set, and is about to go 2 breaks down in the third.

[Bobfoc]

Norrie has edged through. Britain has now had five different representatives in Grand Slam semi-finals since 2016. That somehow doesn't seem possible.

[Adam]

He showed incredible guts to come through that, Goffin didn't do a lot wrong really.

What a tremendous year Norrie has had.

[gunnar hendershow]

Great for Tatjana Maria. 34 years old and reaching her first Grand Slam semi.

[Bobfoc]

Nadal seems to be struggling with an injury. If he doesn't shake it off, they might as well just give Djokovic the trophy now.

[Bobfoc]

He's ended up winning it. It's amazing how, after several serious injuries, at the age of 36 and 17 years after his first Grand Slam victory, he still has the stamina to pull it out of the bag in a Grand Slam semi-final. I hope he stuffs Krygios next.

On another note, I'm glad they aren't doing the old fifth set tiebreak rules now. The "new" system just gets it done quickly without sacrificing drama.

[Adam]

Great set of semi-finals we've got. Is it Women's tomorrow then Men's on Friday or are they split over the two days?

[Baddar]

That was amazing.

[gunnar hendershow]

Taylor Fritz will get his one day. He's just missing some small parts of his game, which good coaching can help develop.

[The Kraig]

Nadal has been forced to retire from this year's competition. Sadly, that means Kyrgios goes on to the final unopposed. I wonder if Kyrgios will complain about that too.

[Baddar]

Shame, and even worse, Novak is definitely winning it now. 🤮

[Bobfoc]

A Djokovic/Kyrgios final would be a depressing prospect. I'd say Djokovic would beat Norrie nine out of ten times, so I'm going to hope that tomorrow will be the 10% in Norrie's favour.

[Adam]

That's a real shame, was looking forward to the match.

Djokovic/Kyrgios as a final is a miserable prospect as well.

[gunnar hendershow]

Big time heel vs heel final if it's Djokovic/Kyrgios.

[Baddar]

Djokovic-Norrie has just started.
