Murray wins 12-10 in the fifth set - incredible match.
Arguably best of the tournament, in terms of shotmaking as well as drama at the end. Incredibly when they came out at 7-7 they were right back up to the quality of the previous day.
Looks like we have a repeat of the Wimbledon QF then, Murray vs Verdasco.
While Verdasco has the potential skillset to win i suspect he'll choke like at Wimbledon (and yes, while the 4th and 5th were Murray being better, the 3rd was a blatant choke).

Not too sure. I'd give Verdasco the edge on clay especially as Murray doesn't seem to be back to his 100% yet.
I actually think it's more mental than physical at this point. There was no reason for Murray to not close the match out in 4 sets and getting distracted by a camera to hit 2 double faults is not good enough at this stage. Hopefully he gets his head back in the game, I think not having a coach might be contributing to his frame of mind
Berdych has flown into the Quarter Finals meanwhile - beat Isner in straight sets with one break in each set. He is looking very, very good - could conceivably make the semis
What a talent Raonic is when he plays well, he's probably the best outside of the big 5 at being able to dominate from the baseline. Needs to take net lessons from Djokovic though, seems only to be able to smash.
