They seem to have split the QFs over two days, rather than ladies tomorrow and mens on Wednesday, I was surprised to hear Djokovic and Norrie are both playing tomorrow, but it may be better to save some late night matches on men’s QF day

Djokovic in control, to getting schooled by a kid for a set and a half, to possibly in control again.

He's such a difficult player to beat, really hope Sinner learns from this and wins Wimbledon one day.

Norrie joins an exclusive club of British men's singles semi-finalists :)

Really pleased for Norrie. Very tight match but a great fightback. He seemed to revel in the crowd noise. Think he'll get creamed in semis though! :-) G

Disappointed to have missed this today. Only just home so no time for highlights and with cycling as well to catch up on I’ve got a backlog! (And going to be now anyway)

I really hope Cam Norrie starts to get the sort of adulation Murray and Henman got in the past, he was shoved onto outside courts in the first week which I thought was harsh, and he’s done a fantastic job to get to SF when most people won’t have heard of him.

Will have to think of a suitable name to call Henman Hill now ;-)

I found it a struggle watching Norrie's match yesterday. He'd clearly been told to try to involve the crowd to shore up support, but his attempts to do so felt very inauthentic, very out of character for him.

Hopefully he'll not need to use such tactics against Djokovic - but I don't see him taking more than a set off him, as much as I'd love to see him in the final.

A Kyrgios/Djokovic final would be fascinating. But possibly not for the right reasons.

Djokovic was never my favourite player and his anti-vaccine nonsense that was so thinly disguised before the Australian really put me off. But he is good to watch. I really thought Sinner had him beaten today.
