Tweet of the day

Rivals welcome Murray comeback

Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal both reacted to the news of Andy Murray's impending comeback at Queen's Club after reaching the semi-finals. The pair were among those who took part in a farewell video for the Scot at the Australian Open.

Federer added: "It was an emotional moment. I think he just was at a breaking point. I think after we realised he wasn't sure, we were all hoping he would come back."

Nadal added: "I always thought that he will find a way to try to be back, so I'm happy to see that he's going to play again. "

Who's up next?

Novak Djokovic will attempt to join his big rivals in the semi-finals when he takes on fifth seed Alexander Zverev, who is bidding to reach the last four at a grand slam for the first time.
