That must be the worst line call ever, the ball was almost in the middle of the service box.

Come on Tipsy - I love Ferrer's gallant heart, but would so like to see Tipsy do this.

Have just sat on my long distance glasses (don't laugh it comes to us all!!!) and so the tv is a bit blurred atm and I can't make out the ball Luckily reading specs okay so relying on you lot to keep me up to date (nobody mention bi-focals please!)

Weakest Umpire performance I've seen for a long time. Keeps saying he doesn't know.

Oh man, I feel your pain!!!!!

Wow...that lob

Good to know I'm not alone bb

Oh what a lob!! But I bet you missed that TP.

Lol TP....hope your normally balanced views don't get all short-sighted
Tipsy almost 4-1....come on!

Tipsy being aided a bit by the calls I think. It is keeping him fired up and keeping the adrenaline pumping. He is playing some fabulous shots and dare I say it looking set for the semis.

lol TSJ and lydian

Yes I did miss the lob - but only because I had to let the dog in!

Did I just hear Cowan say something rude about Tipsy in the 4th set...lol.

Oh ouch.....that fall.

Surprised you could find the door TP.

Anymore needed evidence that the USO surface svcks, has just been answered. Tipsy :o

Ouch, that looked really sore. A man of Tipsy's size (he's all muscle of course) falling on his hip on a hard surface.... I'm surprised he hasn't done any damage. But thankful of course.

And that was a really excellent point from Ferrer. That sums him up perfectly. A bit lucky with the net cord but he deserved it after all that running.

Raonic fell over a few times against Murray although whether that was down to his own doing for over-reaching I'm not sure.

I will remember how you all enjoyed my misfortune!!!

Tipsarevic hitting the ball far too hard at the moment. There's no need for it and Ferrer will surely go on to win it now. I wonder if Tipsy is hurting a lot and was going for clean winners.

Tipsy is probably worse at approaching the net than Roddick at this point...sad way to hand the break back. This looks to me like a 7-5 finish.

Superb match, tipsarevic is great to watch. So much respect for ferrer too

TP, you should have seen the hotdog Tipsy just played, shame you couldn't see it

Oh dear Tipsy broken back. Have given up trying to watch fuzz because giving me a headache.

Going to rely on you unsympathetic lot to keep me posted!

(I hope that is the appropriate smiley because have inadvertently now hit something on computer that reduced print size to ant poo and can't rectify) think I might give up and go to bed!

Ferrer levels at 4-4, that one point at the net was incredible. Huge pressure on Tipsy now.

Level at 4-4 and Tipsy now looking very tired and Ferrer still keen to bounce around and show he has more running in him. The tide has turned.

What I want to know is how the length of this match is going to affect the scheduling of the Adam Sandler game?

Actually on the subject of glasses, are Tipsy's just sunglasses or does he actually need them like Shvedova?

Lol, good luck finding your way up the wooden hill TP...er, Mrs Magoo, let me know if you woke up in the bath.

This match is going down to the wire!

Really disagree with the trainer for cramp. It's not an injury.

Trainer (Marin Cilic's twin?) is on for Tipsy now. It's not looking good.

I hope Tipsy can finish the match. Trainer on court.

Is it for cramp or is it the side he fell on?

Nice Tipsy, Ferrer deserves to have this potential win taken some gloss off it, Ferrer will be easy money for either Djok/Delpo.

Fog-Montanes comes to mind.

What injury? 2 BP's saved!

Momentum has certainly changed.

4 straight points after the break.

Ferrer called an MTO when 2-1 down, you would think he isn't going to play more than 2 games. Naughty pusher

Great serving from Tipsy, how is he clinging on?
Massive game coming up...

Match is 4 hrs 07 mins old.

TB?

I am in a quandary. I would love to see Tipsy win for sheer guts and as reward for the greater amount of jaw-dropping shots he has played. However, how fit will he be if he makes the semi? Fit enough to be competitive? I am not so sure.

Tipsarevic to win and conveniently withdraw if Djokovic wins tonight

(Please note: I am joking).

Hope this doesn't go to TB

Tipsy starting to exhale those Fedshanks now. Needs to bite his tongue and go at him.

Match of the tournament?

Come on Tip...break break break...

Do they always play that music at the final changeover?

Whats up? Everybody lost their posting abilities?

We're all too tense to post.

Just got a nagging feeling Ferrer's gonna win

Ferrer wins an epic Now for the main event

Well played Ferrer Unlucky Tipsy, I thought the fightback to take it to a TB after that fall was magnificent.

And with that, I'm off to bed. Del Potro to beat Djokovic! But much, much, much more importantly, Adam Sandler to win!
