[JennieF]

It's like watching two gladiators.

[ljs]

[Bardot]

The wind at the nearest end seems to be more troublesome, well done Andy for holding.

[Alis]

Insurance break now Andy please.

[Aussie Andy]

4-2 up for Andy in the first set. Good going, just hold serve and it'll all fall into place. For the first set, anyway.

[-J-]

[RFS]

Quit with that lazy slice now. Just quit it

[Mandiemoo]

Now i can celebrate the break, yeah, go Muzza!:-D

[JennieF]

[Manaus]

Brings it to deuce! You can break him Andy!

[Jan]

I love watching Andy play like this

[rainy days]

The slice is not working...

[Alis]

Easy hold please now Andy.

[Manaus]

Djoko holds. Never mind, just keep holding Andy, that's the most important thing.

[JennieF]

New balls for Andy's serve.

[Jan]

[ljs]

important to hold here Andy !!!!!!

[-J-]

now just focus safe hold & consolidate
cmonnnnnnnnn

[banskogirl]

This is great :) nothing for sure but always a bonus when Andy starts bouncing!

[Mandiemoo]

My breathing is like I've got an elephant sat on my chest!

[Alis]

C'mon Andy - take it to 5-3 and then there's real pressure on Djoko.

[ljs]

[banskogirl]

Don't give an inch Andy!!

[Jan]

[Aussie Andy]

[banskogirl]

poop

[Alis]

Djoko's getting into this now. C'mon Andy you've got to raise your game.

[Jan]

bit ominous from Djoko

[Mandiemoo]

Well, we know Andy is going to give his all... And so is Novak. Buckle up, peeps!

[traveller7]

stream froze and he loses his game
sigh
it was never gonna be easy

[Manaus]

Andy has to be careful, Djoko is settling.

[Jan]

now I'm getting worried

[Nina]

djoko feels okay at long rallies

[rainy days]

Andy hold now! Please!

[-J-]

crucial tenth game

cmonnnnnnnnnn

[Alis]

Pleeease hold this one Andy.

[banskogirl]

Okay Andy just hold serve :)

[ljs]

ugg i feel sick

[Mandiemoo]

Come on Fred, lend a hand down here!

[Caro]

Oh ****, nervous now. Andy cannot lose this set after having the upper hand for most of it....

[banskogirl]

Okay I'm having a Freddo and a cup of tea.......... don't think it'll help! Come on Andy!!!!

[david1610]

Stay calm. Find those good first serves. You can do this.
C'mon Andy!

[Alis]

C'mon Andy - I really wish Becker would shut up!

[Sallydaisy]

Come on Muzzah!!!

:swingin::swingin::swingin::swingin::swingin:

Must not let Nole win the first set - he'll run away with the match if you do.

[Alis]

sensational shot!!!

[Sallydaisy]

Cracker of a backhand down the line from Andy!

[Caro]

:sofa: what a shot there tho

[Alis]

well got Andy!

[JennieF]

That's more like it!! Come into the net!

[Alis]

First serve now please!

[-J-]

close it oot
cmonnnnnnnnnnn

[JennieF]

Is Andy being too defensive? Like he used to be?

[Jan]

:phew:

[Alis]

Well held - now break!

[Manaus]

Really big hold, 5-5, would be great if Andy breaks now.

[banskogirl]

Brill under pressure Andy!

[-J-]

good lad
now lets see if we can get some chances
cmonnnnnnnnnnn

[Helen40]

Can't believe he's let Djokers go ahead. Phew..

[Mandiemoo]

Tight as a drum I am :S

[JennieF]

If Nole wins this first set I'm not sure I'll be able to watch the rest.

[Helen40]

Break, break ,break ,break, break!!!!! Cummon!!

[Helen40]

If Nole wins this first set I'm not sure I'll be able to watch the rest.
I'm just listening to it, and I can completely relate to that.

[Hawkeye]

Nole holding too easily now.

[Helen40]

Aaarrggghhh!!!!

[Alis]

Hold for a tie-break now Andy. Djoko's really getting into this.

[Manaus]

Easy hold for Djoko, 6-5, another big service game for Andy now, need to take it to a TB. :sofa:

[-J-]

one job secure the TB
CMONNNNNNNNNN

[Nina]

Every single ball is in nole hits

[banskogirl]

Oh I really feel sick now
Come on Andy!!

[Hawkeye]

The winner of the first set in their last 13 meetings has gone on to win the match apparently.

[Manaus]

Maybe it's just me but I think the wind is dying down a bit which is good for Djoko.

[Mandiemoo]

Can it be any more tense?

[pippadaisy]

:nailbiter:

[Caro]

Hells bells! Not sure I can watch this next game :sofa:

[JAMES4578]

Feel Andy hasn't fully capitalised and Nole playing better now, let's hold for the breaker and step it up again!

[JennieF]

Apparently in all their other encounters whoever wins the first set goes on to win the match. SO....Andy had better win this game and then the tie-break.

[banskogirl]

has everyones streams gone off?
