Sixth seed Milos Raonic was a little bemused when a journalist opened his post-match news conference with a request for some special insight.
"It's a very important question. Who is going to win the Nadal-Muller match?" the reporter asked.
A puzzled Raonic replied with a simple "I don't know".
And when the journalist pushed his theme, asking Raonic what the score in the final set would be, the confused Canadian replied: "Do you want to be there watching instead of being in here, but you have an obligation?"
Raonic had good reason to be a little bewildered, having just come through an epic battle of his own, beating Alexander Zverev 4-6 7-5 4-6 7-5 6-1 to reach a quarter-final with Roger Federer.
Nadal was beaten 6-3 6-4 3-6 4-6 15-13 in a four hour 48 minute thriller.
