With no Rafa and Novak, Fed has a great opportunity to get Wimbledon #8 and GS #18.

Nishikori is out! All eyes on Federer, Murray, Tsonga and Raonic.

Murray is going to be hard to beat given his current form. But all it takes is one down/off day and Murray seems to have had a few of those in recent slams/tournaments. He ran out of fuel in the final at Roland Garros against Djokovic but I'm not so sure he'd run out of fuel if he made this final but it is a possibility.

And Cilic, he could cause some real trouble for Fed if he catches fire.
Nishikori is injured, which isn't good for the rest of his season.
Raonic has just survived a 5 setter against counterpuncher David Goffin, and will meet giant-killer Sam Querrey.
Good on Sam for making his first Slam QF.
Kyrgios and Tomic have both bowed out.
Tsonga I don't think will have enough durability to take out Andy Murray.
Czech teammates Jiri Vesely and Tomas Berdcyh is the only 4th Round match not finished.

Womens QF's on tonight:

Order of Play - The Championships, Wimbledon 2016 - Official Site by IBM

Draws - The Championships, Wimbledon 2016 - Official Site by IBM

Hard to see anyone stopping Serena Williams now, and may finally achieve her quest of equalling Steffi Graf's open era record of 22 slams.

He has, but getting through Cilic, then likely Raonic and Murray will not be easy.
Murray is highly favored for the title now.

Maybe Tsonga can stop Murray.

Which Men's Quarter is the least predictable?

Raonic vs. Querrey or Tsonga vs. Murray?

The first would be the least predictable.
2 big servers going for it, Raonic on paper should win with more big time experience, but no guarantee.
Raonic only just scraped by David Goffin in his previous match, but that is a much harder opponent than World Number 51 Nicolas Mahut - Querrey's last win.
In the other match, Murray should have too much versatility and all round game for Tsonga.

In the women's, down to the final four and the semifinals:

Draws - The Championships, Wimbledon 2016 - Official Site by IBM

Hard to see World Number 50 journeywoman with 2 career titles, in the form of Elena Vesnina, stopping Serena.
The WTA always seems to throw up a lot more upsets and surprises going deep in Slams- who usually end up as cannon fodder for Serena.
The other semi will have Venus Williams vs Angelique Kerber.

Great day of tennis. Murray showed great mental strength 5th set. And Federer was just unbelievable to come out winner in that match, stunning. Still tipping Murray for his 2nd Wimbledon crown but it'll be tough for sure.
