If this goes to 4 (which it has to now for Nole to win) it's going to be 2 or 3am!!!

[-J-]

[Manaus]

Really big service game for Andy now.

[rondun]

who ?? djokos mom ??? heheno the stupid cackling witch who cost him a set point

[Sallydaisy]

Vital now to hold serve in this first game of the 2nd set - and find some first serves n'all.

[Aussie Andy]

Andy won his second set in a Grand Slam final! Why why why did I not buy wine for this match?

[Manaus]

my stream is pants! I missed half of the tie! Everyone else's the same?

Mine keeps freezing now and again but it's not too bad.

[Mandiemoo]

Mypremium.tv, right side, click play sky sports 1

[traveller7]

Nolelost 1st set to delpotro remember kids

[Alis]

FOCUS Andy!!!!!!!

[JennieF]

How is everybody keeping themselves together??!!!
I am installing software on a computer network and cleaning up the desktops to keep my mind from worrying too much!!!!
I'm sitting with fists in mouth, afraid to budge!

[Mandiemoo]

If it went to 5 sets and each was 90 minutes, that takes us to about 4.30am (faints)

[pippadaisy]

I am in trouble for shouting LOL

[Sallydaisy]

This stream works well: http://www.sportlemon.tv/v-4/2/196/v-439754.html

[JAMES4578]

That was pretty nervewracking but Andy came up with the goods in the end to seal the breaker and the set but so dramatic, marvellous! Long way to go of course!

[Alis]

Great shot!!!

[Sallydaisy]

my stream is pants! I missed half of the tie! Everyone else's the same?

Try this one http://www.sportlemon.tv/v-4/2/196/v-439754.html

[clancy]

Phew! Nobody said this would be easy! Andy deserves that first set, just! That will be a huge boost - now knock him dead; I know that's easier to say than to do with Djokovic on the other side of the net!

[ljs]

How is everybody keeping themselves together??!!!
I am installing software on a computer network and cleaning up the desktops to keep my mind from worrying too much!!!!

:wino: works for me

[-J-]

No drama

[davech]

I think I might have to take the day off work tomorrow...

[pippadaisy]

How does Nole do that Sliding on all surfaces

[Mandiemoo]

Is it me or is Novaks grunting getting annoying?

[Manaus]

Good hold from Andy, now try and push for the break.

[ljs]

That was pretty nervewracking but Andy came up with the goods in the end to seal the breaker and the set but so dramatic, marvellous! Long way to go of course!

marvelous is right James !!!!!!

[banskogirl]

Dunno if I can take another 2 sets of that, never mind another 4!!!!

Just enjoying the nerves david this is why we are andy fans

[Niknak's Mum]

I am in trouble for shouting LOL

[JennieF]

I can't help but like Nole! A great character.

[Hawkeye]

don't think Petch can ;)Fortunately I have US commies.

[banskogirl]

Is it me or is Novaks grunting getting annoying?

Actually it's making me laugh which isn't going down too well with the hubby who's trying to watch all creatures great and small! what a comparison!

[davech]

[JennieF]

Hey Andy. A bit of a chance here?

[davech]

Big glimmer.

[Hawkeye]

I'm not getting excited until this is consolidated.

[-J-]

kitkat:boogie:

[Alis]

............. and a break to start the second set - keep concentrating Andy - don't let it slip this time!

[Manaus]

Breaks!!! Ok, means nothing until you hold!

[Sallydaisy]

Andy to serve at *1-0 after breaking Nole to love in the opening game of the 2nd set.

[JennieF]

I wouldn't mind Andy winning in three straight sets.

[pippadaisy]

I can't help but like Nole! A great character.
Yeh I like him too one of my favs

[Helen40]

I wouldn't mind Andy winning in three straight sets.
Would do wonders for my nerves, then I could concentrate on Hev.

[Alis]

C'mon Andy - hold pleease!

[-J-]

give him him nothing andy
cmonnnnnnnnnnn

[-J-]

close it out now
cmonnnnnnnnnnn

[pippadaisy]

That looked out ages ago

[davech]

Not sure I'm happy about this passive stuff from Andy. It worked that time, but...

[Helen40]

Yes! 3-0

[davech]

3-0 Andy.

[Hawkeye]

Come on, break him again whilst he looks rattled!

[daveollie]

This is yours Andy C'MON!!!

[Manaus]

Game Andy, 3-0. :) Keep going Andy, give him nothing!

[-J-]

cmonnnnnnnnnn

[Alis]

Good hold Andy - just keep holding - although the odd break wouldn't go amiss!!!!!

[Jan]

don't let up Andy, please

[supergran]

Just ran upstairs and, bless him, Supergramps is still awake and watching. He hasn't heard my very loud support. We keep telling him he needs a hearing aid. He definitely does as I'm screaming.:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

[banskogirl]

Toilet..........

[JennieF]

Is it too soon to start relaxing and feeling happy?

[Jan]

Is it too soon to start relaxing and feeling happy?
definitely

[Sallydaisy]

Keep holding serve Andy and try for another break ...

[pippadaisy]

Is it too soon to start relaxing and feeling happy?
Yes LOL

[Hawkeye]

Is it too soon to start relaxing and feeling happy?Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Manaus]

Is it too soon to start relaxing and feeling happy?

In short - yes!

[Sallydaisy]

Is it too soon to start relaxing and feeling happy?

:cauldron::cauldron::cauldron:

[traveller7]

yep still early days

[RFS]

I actually think I am having palpitations ...

[Mandiemoo]

Is it too soon to start relaxing and feeling happy?

Yes, unexpected murraycoasters can strike at any time, but you can stop holding your breath so much!

[Alis]

Why is my heart thumping now - it wasn't in the first set????

[Manaus]

0-30, keep it up!

[RFS]

Not sure I'm happy about this passive stuff from Andy. It worked that time, but...

Yeah very sticky-footed from time to time. But right now I am not complaining

[-J-]

little glimmer
cmonnnnnnnnn

[davech]

Break point Andy!

[Alis]

Wild from Djoko!

[Manaus]

2BPs! Go Andy!

[JAMES4578]

Looking good right now at 3-0 but Andy must keep it going and pile on the pressure. Nole seems a bit flat after losing that long set but could still spring into action.

[-J-]

chances
2 bps
cmonnnnnnnnnn

[traveller7]

i still feelsick

[Elenive]

Eyes on the prize!!!!

:sofa:

[Mandiemoo]

I'm trying to live only in the present game, rather than the set

[JennieF]

Is it too soon to start relaxing and feeling happy?

Ha ha!! Guess you've all answered that one for me! :lol:

[davech]

4-0 Andy!

[WimbledonAce]

Ram it home Andy! We DO NOT want 5 sets!

[Elenive]

Double break! YEAHHHHHHHH!

[Alis]

4-o - keep it going Andy.

[Manaus]

4-0!!!! Awesome Andy! Keep holding now!

[Sallydaisy]

That's the double breaker, Andy to serve at *4-0. Keep it going Muzzah!!!

[JAMES4578]

Terrific right now from Andy and surely Andy should take the 2nd with a 4-0 lead!

[-J-]

double kitkat :boogie::boogie:

[-J-]

oh for a hold & a break
cmonnnnnnn

[ljs]

i still feelsick

well hopefully you wont for long :swingin:

[JennieF]

Ha ha!! Guess you've all answered that one for me! :lol:
Though I AM feeling rather happy!! 4-0 and serving for the 5th! :swingin:

[Elenive]

i still feelsick

Hopefully if Andy gets the second set that will pass!
What am I saying if... WHEN Andy wins the second set ;)

[pippadaisy]

keep it going Andy if you can come from 5=2 down so can he

[Manaus]

Terrific right now from Andy and surely Andy should take the 2nd with a 4-0 lead!

For safety, :cauldron:

[WimbledonAce]

Do not let him back in! Come on Andy! Petch does my head in,such a jinx!

[Mandiemoo]

Boris: Take that board and ride it baby!

[-J-]

[Manaus]

NOOOOOO!!! Breaks. :sad:

[Jan]

hmm come on Andy - no room for complacency

[Elenive]

Nole is on the board.

[davech]

Oh dear. That was a bit of a mental wanderage.

[WimbledonAce]

Gifted him that game,not good.

[Manaus]

Clearly, I should have posted more of these in my last post.
:cauldron: :cauldron:

[pippadaisy]

with these guys a set is NEVER over until it is won

[Jan]

another break here please - nerves need a bit of relief

[rainy days]

Why the hell is he doing this? If he chokes this set now... Ugh.

[Elenive]

Still a break up, two solid holds and we're 2-0 up!

[Sallydaisy]

S'ok, just break him again Andy to stop the rot.

[Alis]

Another break now would be a bonus Andy. Boris is driving me nuts!!!

[-J-]

with these guys a set is NEVER over until it is wonexactly no one ever wins a set with 4 games takes six at leat :grrr:

[Mandiemoo]

Batten down the hatches, theres a djoker storm on the horizon!

[RFS]

Nole just not even moving ... Thinking about the 3rd set I guess

[Elenive]

Another break now would be a bonus Andy. Boris is driving me nuts!!!

I think Boris drives most people nuts! :rolling:

[pippadaisy]

[Nina]

[Hawkeye]

Right, time for a solid hold.

[davech]

Nice safe hold required here.

[Jan]

hold pleeeeeeeeeese

[banskogirl]

Okay I'm watching on mypremium and it has just stopped!

help... stream need

http://lsh.lshunter.tv/streams/1/lshtv1.html

[Hawkeye]

http://lsh.lshunter.tv/streams/1/lshtv3.html

[hfwardhouse]

Right, time for a solid hold.

What he said :thumbup:

COME ON ANDY!!!

[Manaus]

Djoko holds and seems to have settled again. Andy really has to hold now.

[Alis]

This is a MUST hold Andy - first serves please!

[-J-]

sok andy
still have the break
now focus safe hold & consolidate
cmonnnnnnnnnnnn

[Elenive]

Andy still with the advantage in the set. Just serve well like we KNOW you can.

[-J-]

2 more points
cmonnnnnnnn

[rondun]

Good plan - hold here, break him for the set to go into the 3rd serving

[Hawkeye]

Get in.

[Alis]

Good serving so far - one more will do it.

[davech]

That was exactly the kind of game we wanted.

[-J-]

close it out
cmonnnnnnnnnnn

[Helen40]

Phew 5-2, keep it up!

[Manaus]

Nice love hold! :thumbup:
Would love a break now Andy

[Alis]

That'll do - now break and start serving in the third.

[Elenive]

:yahoo: One more game for 2-0!

[Jan]

brilliant hold.
my heart is starting to thump again!

[Helen40]

Hope people aren't going to say he only won it cos it was windy :grrr:

[Nina]

My friend (Nole fan) told me he's playing with the injury

[JennieF]

Well, know what? I actually am feeling rather happy right now!

[rondun]

"Gamemrrreee"

[-J-]

good lad
now without being to greedy is it to much to ask for a kitkat
cmonnnnnnnnnnn

[-J-]

Hope people aren't going to say he only won it cos it was windy :grrr:won what ? hes won nothing yet

[WimbledonAce]

Nice hold.I did warn colleagues I would be next to useless tomorrow!

[Sallydaisy]

Much better in that game from Andy, Nole still trying to pressure him but he held on and played a couple of shorter more aggressive points which helped with holding serve.

Nole serving at *2-5 in the 2nd set.

[Hawkeye]

Hope people aren't going to say he only won it cos it was windy :grrr:They can say whatever they damn well please it this keeps up.

[Elenive]

"It's the gold baby, it's the GOLD!"

Hahaha! I love the commies on radio5live :)

[Alis]

I'll feel happier when he takes this set.

[davech]

Still a long way to go.

[ljs]

oh gosh , cmon Andy !!!!!!!!!!!

[Mandiemoo]

Now i am even more nervous than the 1st set!

[Alis]

Good serve from Djoko.

[Sallydaisy]

My friend (Nole fan) told me he's playing with the injury
Nole's got some strapping on his shoulder (which was visible when he changed his shirt) but there's been absolutely no word so far during the tournament that he's carrying an injury. He might have a tweak but by now most of the players will be feeling a bit sore! Maybe it is just precautionary?

[Alis]

Now i am even more nervous than the 1st set!

Me too!!!

[Alis]

Right Andy - no nerves now - serve it out!!!!!

[Hawkeye]

Right, let's get this set done.

[Manaus]

Djoko holds. Big service game now, hold and take the set, no dips or muppetry please!

[Elenive]

Big service game now :sofa: :sofa: :sofa:

[Jan]

deep breaths, first serves

[supergran]

Come on Andy now!!!

[Helen40]

won what ? hes won nothing yet
I'm being optimistic, we're on the Murray fan forums after all.

[WimbledonAce]

I feel v edgy.is nicely poised but write nole off at your peril.

[Sallydaisy]

Andy to serve for the 2nd set at *5-3.

Come on Muzzah!!!!!!

:swingin::swingin::swingin:

[hfwardhouse]

Right, let's get this set done.

What he said again ....

COME ON ANDY!!!!!

[KnightOwl]

C'mon Andy - stay strong!!

[Alis]

Not a good start.

[Jan]

I feel the need for a :sofa:

[Manaus]

0-15, I'm already getting nervous!

[-J-]

ok andy this is just a routine service game
focus safe hold & consolidate;)
cmonnnnnnnnnnn

[Jan]

oh boy

[WimbledonAce]

Bottoms.

[Manaus]

[Sallydaisy]

*0-30. Focus Andy, Focus!!!

[Hawkeye]

Come on...

[Alis]

Noooooooooooooooo!!!!

[Elenive]

Four straight points please

[Hawkeye]

Ach.

[Helen40]

Nole's got some strapping on his shoulder (which was visible when he changed his shirt) but there's been absolutely no word so far during the tournament that he's carrying an injury. He might have a tweak but by now most of the players will be feeling a bit sore! Maybe it is just precautionary?
He's always sporting, not like Bird brain.

[Alis]

Oh no, no, no!!!!!!!!!!

[hfwardhouse]

:sofa: :sofa: :sofa:

COME ON ANDY!!!!!

[KnightOwl]

No no no!! C'mon - sort it out...!

[rainy days]

[davech]

Djokovic has woken up. A slight worry.

[ljs]

[-J-]

point at a time andy

[WimbledonAce]

Ouch!

[Alis]

[Elenive]

[Hawkeye]

:sigh:

[JennieF]

What!

[Elenive]

Oh no!

...

Must break now.

[Jan]

oh Andy

[davech]

Eek.

[Helen40]

Nooo!!!

[Manaus]

Oh ship! :sad: Andy, you're letting him back in! :angry:

[KnightOwl]

Bother. The wind won that point...!

[Alis]

O.K. - it's back on serve - now break!!!!!

[supergran]

Don't believe it!!!!!:facepalm:

[rainy days]

This is such a choke he was two breaks up ffs. Makes me think of that Cilic match.

[-J-]

cmonnnnnnnnnnnn

[Aussie Andy]

Andy, break back! For goodness sakes!

[traveller7]

bum whats he doing?

[WimbledonAce]

Disaster strikes!

[ljs]

:thumbup: have faith people

[Jan]

come on Andy - you'll be really mad if you lose this set (and we might too)

[Helen40]

kit kat, kit kat, kit kat, kit kat! Cummon Andy!

[hfwardhouse]

OK Andy - kitkat please

LET'S GO ANDY LET'S GO

[banskogirl]

Ok Andy deep breath! Go Andy!

[Sallydaisy]

Nole is doing what he does well - digging deep and playing solid.

Andy must now break him in the next game to ram home the advantage.

[Alis]

Momentum with Djoko now for sure. We need a break Andy!

[david1610]

Have to just let it go. All about the next point, the next game.
You can do this Andrew Murray. Do it!

[Sallydaisy]

Come on Muzzah!!!!!!
