Hahahahahhahahaha!
Found his serve and he's 5-2 up.
Double break please Andy so you kick off the first set.

[Chris83]

Federer is brainlessly rushing the net in absolute fear of Andy's ground strokes. Well he should be because Andy is notorious for playing his best tennis in atmospheres like this.

[JAMES4578]

Andy in a good position for the first at 5-2, come on!

[KnightOwl]

Tim Henman: "if in doubt, smack it!" :)

[supergran]

:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:Come on ANDY!!!

[Manaus]

Be greedy - get the double break and take the set!

[Manaus]

Net cord on Andy's side. :)

cmonnnnnnnnnn

[Bardot]

We have a Waza Ari now for the Ippon................I've been watching too much Olympics ;)

[RoastLamb]

Still not getting too excited. Fed could come back.

[Linda]

Wow, let's have another set like the last two :)

[RoastLamb]

I bet everyone wishes about now that this was best of three.

[traveller7]

Storm from up north that a couple of you have spoken about is apparently heading our way lets hope this match finishes before then

[KnightOwl]

Clare Balding just said there's a storm on it's way and it's currently in the Coventry/Nuneaton area.

YES I KNOW!

But unfortunately, I can confirm it's moved on - heading south but hopefully slowly!

[traveller7]

Yes I cant seem to get too excited yet half in disbelief and half cos I know that Fed can come back

[KnightOwl]

Love hold from Fed - I guess we had to assume he wouldn't just go home :)

[Manaus]

Love hold for Fed, he's going to go for it now. Please serve well and hold Andy!

[davech]

As long as Andy wins this set, the weather shouldn't be an issue.

[-J-]

has Andy lost a 2 set lead before ?

[Jan]

come on Andy! we're all behind you!
just brilliant play, but trying not to count those chickens
:GBflag:

[davech]

Andy's playing dodgeball out there. Anyone know the rules?

[Jan]

wish he could find a few more first serves, but maybe I'm being picky!

[-J-]

now then Andy lets look for a cushion
cmonnnnn

[KnightOwl]

I bet everyone wishes about now that this was best of three.

I've been wishing that since the beginning :)

Edit: although, if he does end up winning, the fact that it was in 5 sets will make it that much sweeter!

[Manaus]

Easy love hold for Andy too. :thumbup:
Please get the break Andy, stop Fed from having any chance in this set!

[traveller7]

has Andy lost a 2 set lead before ?

I dont believe so but Fed has won coming back from 2 sets down

[-J-]

I dont believe so but Fed has won coming back from 2 sets downthat's why I ask both have come back from 2 but they didn't mention Andy has never lost from 2 up

[Manaus]

2-1, still on serve, just keep holding Andy.

[rondun]

Andy's playing dodgeball out there. Anyone know the rules?If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!

[-J-]

safe hold for now please
cmonnnn

[KnightOwl]

More heavy rain here - maybe the storm got bored heading south and came back here..?

[Sallydaisy]

Come on Muzzah!!!!!

:swingin::swingin::swingin:

Don't let Feddykins back into the match AT ALL.

[Caro]

We love you Andy we do, We love you Andy we do, We love you Andy we do, oh Andy we love you!

Yes, but that was a looooong time ago!

[-J-]

little glimmer
cmonnnnn

[davech]

Another MASSIVE forehand winner from Andy!

[RFS]

There was some drunk dude on Friday night as we were walking back after the Handball singing Walking in a Murrayland - and I was going to say something, then he got all abusive yelling at people that they didn't give a [/insert expletive here] so I left him to it.
Some of us do care. We also like other sports and want to experience the Olympics too!

[Manaus]

15-40! BP chance! You can do it Andy!

[KnightOwl]

Too good. Too good.
