Aaaand Murray doing his classical "waiting til halfway through the match to get out of bed" thing. Why is this always so prevalent in Wimbledon QF's for him, I wonder? It's like he does that shit on purpose.

Could go out here to be honest. From what little I've managed to catch Dimitrov looks to have him sussed.

Given what he's pulled in the past I'm assuming nothing, but going down 6-1 in the first set is hardly encouraging.

It's truly bizarre how a leading player can be so inconsistent from one match to another, let alone one tournament to another. Dimitrov isn't having to do anything special here.

[Grandad.]

Another break down.

[Grandad.]

Broke back. Huge game now!

[leicsmac]

This set crucial.

[leicsmac]

Tiebreak time.

[Grandad.]

Two sets down.

It's Verdasco all over again.

[leicsmac]

Really hard way it is once again, then.

[Buzzell]

Big ask from Murray now but he's done it before.

[Manwell Pablo]

If he starts doing worse than even I think he'll do then he's in serious trouble

I don't actively dislike many people in sport but Andy Murray is certainly one of them.

[Buzzell]

A very big ask now.

[Grandad.]

What a limp performance this has been. Back to the drawing board Andrew.

[Buzzell]

Ahh well....

[bovril]

G'won Dimitrov you sexy bastard.

[leicsmac]

Crap performance being rewarded with what it deserves.

I hold my hands up...I honestly thought this was where he would come good, but the inconsistency is still there. There is clearly a massive problem with his game, what and why I don't know, but until it's fixed he's going to have real trouble getting back consistently into the top 5, let alone the top 2/3.

I don't actively dislike many people in sport but Andy Murray is certainly one of them.

May I ask why?

Answers including any mention of the 2006 World Cup lies or regarding his (supposedly, but not really) boring public persona will be rewarded with one way trips to the worlds biggest blender. While it's spinning.

Serves him right for being coached by a woman, poof.

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Just comes across as a complete cvnt every time I've heard his mouth open. Hope that will suffice.

I've never heard a mouth open so this seems very harsh on the bloke.

RE those players you've managed to talent spot that the rest of world have somehow missed during their rise to the top 15, they wont get close. Seen off by the big guns before the semis with ease.

[Manwell Pablo]

EDIT: Ah right I see now

Well done Kingfox you've finally said something correct. Only taken 6 years.

Fair enough man. Believe what you want to believe, no matter how erroneous.

Djoko to win it all now.

Come on Matt, you can do bantah better than that.

[Guest MattP]

Bloody baffling though isn't it?

Lendl to Mauresmo? Very weird. I have no idea what she can do to help Murray, she was pretty shit herself apart from one season given the attributes she was blessed with and one of the most nervous players on the tour when she was about.

Has Judy turned? That could be the reason.
