Shanghai Crisis Center, Day 6

Good morning. Today the last two Round Robin matches in Shanghai are being played. First Gilles Simon plays alternate Radek Stepanek. The second match of the day is the one that's meaningful, however. It's probably the most interesting match of the Group so far, as it's between its two highest-ranked plyers, Roger Federer and Andy Murray, and will deternine whether Federer or Simon progresses to the semifinal.

Please use this space to discuss the matches, and any other tennis-related issues of the day. After the tennis is over, some off-topic drift is OK***.***
