Pretty cool experience for Konta -- great match!

[Strange Brew]

I will obsessively cheer for all things Canadian and will take great interest in even the most obscure tournament if Canada is representing.

But I'm not sure I'll be pulling for Raonic over Federer. Maybe it would be different if it was the final?

[dash_pinched]

If Roger does defeat Milos on Wednesday, I'll be cheering for him the rest of the way. Definitely rooting for Milos tomorrow though.

[Inglewood Jack]

if it were Davis Cup Canada vs. Switzerland, I'd cheer for Milos over Roger...I think?

CoCo McEnroe with the "Have you ever played tennis?" question to the chair umpire...

Do we know which Men's QF games will be on which TSN feeds tomorrow? I want to set my PVR now for Milos-Fed. I'm assuming it will be on TSN1, but better safe than sorry.

TSN1 and TSN4 (with tweet goodness below)

TSN Tennis‏@TSNTennis
TOMORROW: 🇨🇦(6) Raonic vs 🇨🇭(3) Federer Quarterfinal match on Centre Court @ approx 10:30aET / 7:30aPT ON TSN1 & TSN4. #Wimbledon🌱

[GirlySports]

With Halep losing today, Pliskova will become the new #1 despite losing in the 2nd Round of Wimbledon

Women's tennis is a trainwreck right now. Anyone in the top 150 could win a major right now and I wouldn't even be slightly shocked. I'm rooting for the Slovakian whose name I don't know and who I've never seen play, just because it'd be the perfect summation of the current state of the women's game. I'm starting to wonder if Serena won't play to 45 and win another 8-10 majors, could easily happen. Just shamolic, and kind of underscores where Genie is currently at that she's such a non-factor in such a weak time.

Also scalpers are on edge tomorrow no doubt. Going into the tournament the likelihood of a Rafa-Andy, Fed-Djoker final four was high. Now there's the potential for a Querray-Cilic, Raonic-Berdych final four. I'm pretty sure no one wants any part of that ####.

We're in the quarters and only one of those four is out. That's nothing but good news for the scalpers isn't it?

Matches like this just reinforce that Andy having three majors and two gold medals is borderline miraculous given his non-existent mental game.

Come on Sam!

[Senator Clay Davis]

Even if Andy pulls this out of the fire everyone who's left outside Muller will walk through him. And the only reason to not believe Muller would beat him is Muller will be totally gassed.

[dash_pinched]

Sam with an early break in the fifth set to lead 2-0.

[dash_pinched]

Sam serving for the match up 5-1 in set 5. Wowza.

Edit: Pretty incredible that Sam wins the match taking sets 4 and 5 by identical 6-1 6-1 set scores.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Wonder how often the same guy has eliminated the defending champ in back to back years at a major. Can't have happened much. One of Querrey, Cilic or Muller will play for the title.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Also obligatory Britain's Andy Murray qualified for the quarter finals, where the Scotland's Andy Murray was defeated

[dash_pinched]

Tennis fans getting their money's worth today as Muller and Cilic are going to a fifth and deciding set.

[Karl]

Great to see Muller and Cilic will go the distance.
