Really pleased for Millman. First ever win over a Top 10 player. Also the first Australian to beat Federer in a major since Rafter in 1999.
Didn't they play at Wimbledon recently?

Has always been Djokovic's to lose. Can't see anyone upsetting him now.

Djokovic beat Millman 6-1 6-2 at Queens

It would be optimistic to expect much different this time.

Watched the first two and half sets before it got ridiculously late and I needed sleep.

Federer could not get a first serve in, and Millman was running for everything.

He blamed the conditions.
Would have thought he'd have been affected less with his style of play and fast points.
Serving poorly would hinder that though.
Not like he is getting any younger

It's as simple as him being too old for it. His decline has really began. He got a bit lucky at the Australian Open and has hardly won a thing since. Time to go before he gets a bad injury.

Betvictor have priced up Serena to win 2-0, have most aces and least double faults at 9/2.

Same bet on Skybet - 5/4.

Worth a tenner methinks.
Big changes on the way ! We've heard it before but it's different this time !!!! , I believe Bdo gonna grow x

Del Potro at least looks like taking the second set.

Nadal wins just 7 points in the whole of the first set.

Absolutely incredible stuff from Thiem.

Into a 5th now. Thiem had a break then lost it but did well in the tie-breaker. Will probably choke now.

Thiem still holding his nerve on serve. Simply incredible standard match.

Glad I decided to stay up and watch this while getting some work done

Pity the French wasn't like that. Hope Del Porto wins now.
