Andy Murray can flex his muscles after winning the match against Richard Gasquet yesterday.
But wait until he meet Rafael Nadal in their fourth quarterfinals.
Murray might have the British fans backing him up tomorrow but tennis fans want to see Rafael Nadal instead in the semifinals or to be precise, the final match this Sunday.
Win or lose, Mum Judy Murray and girlfriend Kim Sears will definitely be there to cheer and support him. Seems they really enjoy themselves.

Lleyton Hewitt: Bouncing baby on the way but Wimbledon campaign stops short
Lleyton Hewitt revealed that wife Bec Cartwright is expecting the couple's second child during the Australian Open campaign next year.
Hewitt and his ex-television soap star wife have a daughter, Mia, who turns three last November. “Yeah, it's fantastic”, Hewitt was quoted in OK magazine from London. “Mia will be just over three when the baby arrives and we think she'll be a good little helper”, added Bec Hewitt.
However Hewitt celebration stopped short after losing in the fourth round to top seed Roger Federer. Hewitt lost in straight sets 6-7, 2-6, 4-6. This means Federer has booked his place in the quarterfinal match against either Fernando Verdasco or Mario Ancic.

Wimbledon 2008: Racquet abuse
Every tennis player wants a piece of that fame and fortune and their names to be remembered in the history book of Grand Slam. The championships do not just take the physical toll out of the players but also their emotions as well.
I'm not a fan of racquet abusers but I guess I understand how frustrated these players are especially when they are playing in such a prestigious tournament like the Wimbledon.

I'm not a fan of racquet abusers but I guess I understand how frustrated these players are especially when they are playing in such a prestigious tournament like the Wimbledon.
Jurgen Melzer throws his racquet onto ground, during the third round match against Arnaud Clement. Arnaud won 4-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4.
Janko Tipsarevic throws his racquet, during the third round match against Dmitry Tursunov but won 7-6, 7-6, 6-3.
A chair is broken after Czech' Radek Stepanek smashed on it during the match against Mikhael Youzhny. Youzhny won 7-5, 6-7, 6-4, 6-7, 6-3.
Lucky no one is hurt in these racquet abuse incidents.

Quote of the Day: Marat Safin dumps Novak Djokovic
~ Marat Safin
Probably this is the best news ever. Thank you Safinator! I've never really been a fan of Djokovic. With him out of the 2008 Championships, there's now a high possibility for us to see Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to go head-to-head again in the Wimbledon final.
It's great to see Marat Safin, the former world no. 1, gaining back his confidence again. Perhaps his little sister, Dinara Safina inspires him to make a strong come back?
