Richard will play Dimitrov at the Hurlingham exho event today. ( I think he is replacing Wawrinka, who has withdrawn)

Time to take revenge for last year!!!

I was at the match, I was soooo happy to see Ricard for the first time since 2007 Wimby vs Roddick. Seeing Richard play so well in the flesh from metres away was a privilidge. I was very vocal in my support for him and he did have a fair amount of support due to his beautiful style. The sets were tight but Richard served well and stayed composed. Gasquet and Dimitrov have beautiful styles so it was a pleasure. Seeing Novak and Watson vs Williams was not bad either.

Glad Raonic is out as well.

Allez Richard!!

Richard had 2 match points in the 3rd and now its in the 4th. Richard has missed too many 2nd serve returns recently. Allez Richard dont let it be a repeat of last year!!

[blazer]

allez!!!!!!!! Richard stayed mentally strong as Kyrgios choked. Richard played pretty well overall and did well to avoid a similar fate to last year. I am so happy he is in the quarters. He has to serve better in the next round. Keep the ace tally but he cant let his serve decline as the match progresses. His return completely went away for a large chunk of the match.

If he can improve he will have a chance of making another semi but glad he made the quarters. Allez!

So happy with that result! Watched the whole match, really solid performance from Rich. So many big shots of big points. I don't think those two match points in the 3rd could be put down to nerves at all. Rich is looking really mentally controlled. Wish he would break his racquet more often though! Also, I think Kyrgios crossed the line with his behaviour today.

[amurti]

Totally agree civ3. I felt Richard would win this match today. He was in the match and yes, loved him smashing the racquet. Awesome match from Richard and just cannot contain my happiness since, sweet revenge. Now, on to the next match and hopefully the same result. This may be Richard's wimpy.
