rafa nadal took the first set 7—5, four set points in the second the second but del potro took it ono took it on a tie—break and del potro currently leads 5—4 in the third set, so this could be a real battle with novak djokovic are waiting in the semifinals. let's look at the other quarterfinal, milos raonic in action as well againstjohn isner. this is a battle of the two big servers, nil other players have had more aces than these two. it is now leads —— cinema crewjohn is no leads. kevin anderson awaits in the semifinals for either of these, not roger federer. a real chance for them to progress and potentially secure a place in the wimbledon final. milos raonic has been there before, he was beaten by andy murray. 0ne story to bring you away from wimbledon — world champion peter sagan has won stage five of the tour de france. defending champion chris froome survived a problem with his bike — he's up from 18th overall to 15th, team—mate geraint thomas is now fourth. belgium's greg van avamart keeps the leaders yellowjersey, he finished in the pack as sagan sprinted to victory in brit

in the final. 0ne up against rafa nadal in the final.st matches ever played at wimbledon was in 2008. roger fedor are looking superb out at centre court at the moment. you mentioned those big seeds tumbling in the first week. the sole remaining top ten women's seed left. john, i don't think you manage to hear me there. sorry. she was the sole remaining top ten women's seed after a ll sole remaining top ten women's seed after all of the best had fallen by the wayside in week one. yes, the absence of those top seeds. the seventh seed was the only one remaining and she looked on course for potentially a semifinal with serena williams. she was beaten today. we now have none of the top ten seeds in the women's drop remaining in the second week of the wimbledon championships. the manic monday today. another major casualty. she had never been past the second row to previously, and she said that she was enjoying wimbledon at long last. she won't be now after that big feet on court today. —— big defeat. the full england team of 23 trained today a

rafa nadal, we must talk about him.given him if he had given wimbledon a mess after his victory in the french open? would we? you might not! i would not. but there is no doubt in my mind is can win here. he has won wimbledon, he didn't play at the queen's club because he felt he needed a rest. he w011 because he felt he needed a rest. he won virtually everything on the play, not just roland won virtually everything on the play, notjust roland garros. it's tough to convert a grass within one week and play another week on tour. he took a rest, done a bit of fishing and golfing in majorca, spend some time with the family. a good start today, winning in straight sets. the longer he remains in the championships, the more dangerous he becomes. if you had to predict who would face him in the final, lots of people i was talking to have a high hopes of a federer nadal repeat of ten years ago. chance of that? that is where my money is at the moment. his biggest threat is potentially one martine del potro, federer‘s because that w
