I know reading is difficult for you, but we did seem to come to an agreement yesterday that Mr Fred Perry was the winner of 8 grand slam singles titles, the last of which was in 1936.

Over 20 years ago, man.

Meanwhile in the present day, what is Lleyton's current ranking?

Right, so we're now talking about single mens open titles in the Open era. Anything else you want to add on to this increasingly narrow band?

Well done to Laura Robson, beat the top seed and made the final. Hope she can convert her junior success into the pro game.

5th seed Robson will meet Russian 3rd seed Ksenia Pervak in Saturday's final, due on at 2am.

Should she win that match, Robson will become the junior world number one.

Nadal is finding it tough against an inspired Verdasco. 3 hours in and they haven't finished 3 sets yet. Federer must be laughing into his iced drink.

Amazing match, if Verdasco can keep this up and keep his nerve he has every chance.
