Nick not quite at that next level at this stage but he isn't far off.....

Dimitrov was stronger and made less errors on the bigger points....

Nick should go well at Wimbledon too.....

Tough tight match, Nick didn't serve great in the tie breaks unfortunately, and Dimitrov took his chances.

Nick played well, just got a bit tight in the key points in the tie break.

His post match presser showed good signs. He said this time last year he had no idea what he was going to do next, now he has a clear direction and plan in mind for the next part of the season.

He is a massive chance to be in that top 10 by the French Open. Clay isn't his thing but the seeding could be important at Wimbledon.

He had a good match aside from his service game. He will get better as time goes on, it was a good match.

I confess I really don't enjoy watching tennis on TV, the wife gets control :).
Infact at times I hate it. But tonight the young korean kid was something else. Sure it was good because he beat a huge dickhead, but his athleticism and the way he played I did enjoy it

What a win for Chung against an underdone Novak....

I'm expecting this for the semi's:

Nadal v Dimitrov

Federer v Chung

Had a shower and the match is over with Nadal retired hurt wtf?

If Fed doesnt make the final that's a bit of a blow for the organisers and ch7.

f**k I hate following Nadal sometimes... Retiring hurt is better than watching him lose in the final again, though.

Nadal and Feds never retire hurt, so you know there must be something seriously wrong with Rafa to go off like he did.

Shame. Was hoping for another Feds vs Nadal final

Feds will surely piss it in from here?

Fed will handle Berdych, Cilic and Edmund pretty easily. He should beat Chung but he is looking like a very tough nut to crack....looks the form player this open.

Chung is scary good. Hopefully he is consistent and this isn’t a one off.

You can sense he could pull off an upset and win the whole thing

Brilliant by Fed.....

What a match it'll be against Chung....
To me, this match decides who will win it. Fed should win it....but Chung is playing out of his mind tennis. Im certain Chung won't sustain this same form all year...but will be dangerous for Federer.

Federer will devour Chung's serve.

And they've never played in which case Chung has no idea what it's like to play an all court genius who can beat you in many ways.

But it's the serve where it'll be won. Fed breaks Chung at least once every set so I just can't see the Korean winning.

That being said I'm a huge fan of his. Once he improves his serve he'll be very hard to beat and with his mental strength I think he'll win multiple grand slams.

Also Berdych was playing peak tennis for two sets last night. But instead of breaking Fed it brought out Jesus Fed.

It was phenomenal tennis and now only peaking USO '14 Cilic can stop Fed imo.

The way this tournament has gone I wouldn't count out Cilic yet.....

I wouldn't be shocked if Chung takes a set off Federer either...
