I'm keen to watch the last few games here, obviously supporting Andy Murray.

Sadly I'm in Germany and the BBC stream doesn't work....

Does anyone know how I can see the action?

Looking forward to today. Unfortunately it'll be highlights only so I'l have to avoid the radio all day.

Wouldn't want to put money on predicting the final, but if I did, I think I would tentatively go for a Federer Djokovic match up.

I hope the winner of this semi final wins the whole tournament. It's incredible how well Federer is playing given his age - he's 34 in a few weeks and not many of the tennis greats managed to compete for slams at that age.

Some great tennis so far. Looks like we may have quite a few tie breaks today.

Federer serving incredible and Murray unable to sustain top notch serving for a full set.... so far this is what I feared. Also Murray is targeting the Federer backhand too much on the approach shots and second serves - Federer knows it is going there and he is just standing waiting for it.

Been mentioned on here already but Roddick really is a great addition to the bbc team. Going back to the Nick Kyrgios debate and 'characters' in the game well Roddick was a good character - had his fair share of arguments with umpires but it was never nasty and he always gave it his all and never 'tanked'.

That game there when the score was at 4-5 was sensational.

Not a lot in this at all, just a point here and there but unfortunately both of those have been set points for Fed.

The quality of this tennis is ridiculous though.

uhh.. I agree he is a good addition to the commentary team, far better than Castle or Lloyd. Although I would still like to hear a woman commentate on a men's match every now and then.

As for the 'character' business........ well actually Roddick was quite unpleasant to umpires in his time as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff6_UTPDO9s or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sr3A10qZkE for example. Time and rose tinted glasses make people forgive these things - which was really my earlier point.

Murray bottles it again. Always on the last games of the set when the pressure was on.

Wouldn't say Murray bottled it,.... Roger was top class!
