[Elenive]

[banskogirl]

Oh Andy! come on!!!!!!!!!

[Jan]

[Helen40]

Hope he's not going to do a Tim.

[Manaus]

Can't believe this is happening, it was in Andy's hands to win this set but he's pretty much giving it away at the moment.

[banskogirl]

Pants

[Jan]

must hold Andy

[traveller7]

[Aussie Andy]

Hold, hold, for the love of tennis hold! And then break back!

[Alis]

C'mon andy - you've got to win this game!

[-J-]

cmonnnnnnnnnnn

[Sallydaisy]

Hold your serve Andy!!!

[Manaus]

Andy being too defensive I think and Djoko confident, not looking good. :sad:

[Alis]

I really can't believe this is happening.

[Nina]

This is crazy!
Focusssssss

[Mandiemoo]

Well, he was never gonna just hand it over! Muzz still ahead, C'mon Muzz!

[hfwardhouse]

Much better point from Andy - more aggressive!

COME ON ANDY!

[banskogirl]

A come on! :)

[JennieF]

Greg is referring to Andy's leg. Says it's locked or something?

[Alis]

Let's have some first serves Andy.

[Helen40]

Lloydy commentating well on 5 Live.- unlike Overand :grrr:

[davech]

The momentum in this match is swinging around like crazy. It's not good for my blood pressure.

[Aussie Andy]

Good on you for holding, Andy. Now break him, smash him, blast him out of the set!

[pippadaisy]

LET'S GO ANDY LET'S GO!

[Manaus]

15-30, small chance. :sofa:

[JAMES4578]

Andy should'be had this set already, thought 2 breaks would've been sufficient but Andy wavered and Nole was able to go for broke. Still Murray steadied the ship and has 15-30 here at 6-5, come on!

[Helen40]

[david1610]

You beauty! You beauty!

[Mandiemoo]

I am not capable of coherent speech or thought

[Manaus]

Still not over, Djoko is going to come out throwing everything at Andy. Need one more set. :sofa:

[pippadaisy]

my sound has gone off but its my computer do you think i should switch it off then on again:hmm:

[Helen40]

I'm tired already.

[Alis]

Focus Andy, focus and you've got this one.

[Niknak's Mum]

:dance: :dance: :dance:

[Elenive]

Don't choke dammit, don't choke! One to go!

[clancy]

He's made heavy weather of those two sets; Djokovic will throw everything at himin the third but can he make up 2 sets?

[-J-]

now can folk please leave the chicken counting to the farmers

[Manaus]

my sound has gone off but its my computer do you think i should switch it off then on again:hmm:

Are you using head/earphones? That sometimes happens to my computer and unplugging then plugging the earphones fixes it.

[JAMES4578]

Andy forces a few crucial errors and goes 2 sets up, terrific-really stepped it up there! Of course could have made it easier but hopefully will be strong in the 3rd. Nole though not likely to go down without a fight, Murray must keep the focus.

[Sallydaisy]

I'm getting hungry - how about a bagel Andy?

[traveller7]

oh.my.god i cant bear it i still feel sick arghhhhhh 2 sets to love the most sets he has ever taken off anyone in a final
i cant speak

[Manaus]

Oh heck, 0-30, HOLD ANDY! :sofa:

[Alis]

C'mon Andy, please don't drop serve on the first game.

[Mandiemoo]

Heres comes the kitchen sink....

[JennieF]

That's better. Get him on the runaround.

[ljs]

Andy has to keep focused here , and really play like his life depends on it !!!!!!! cmonnnnnnnnnn Andy !!!!!

[Alis]

Djoko's going for broke now - Andy's got to keep his head.

[cazza99]

stevegtennis ‏@stevegtennis

1949 since player won from 2 sets down in #USopen final. Djokovic has come back from this defecit 3 times before, once in the open.

[Helen40]

I feel like I did at the Olympics, not daring to believe it until he'd actually won. :sofa:

[Manaus]

Oh Andy! :sofa:

[rainy days]

Ugh. Why can't this ever be easy?

[banskogirl]

Ok Andy :) can we just have a calm set? please? :)

[ljs]

please Lord pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[JennieF]

I'm so tired, but afraid to go to bed and afraid to keep watching. Wish it was out of three sets......I'd be in bed now!

[pippadaisy]

Are you using head/earphones? That sometimes happens to my computer and unplugging then plugging the earphones fixes it.
tried that and switched the computer off its not coming back:grrr:

[Manaus]

Deuce. I should be happy that he's winning (at the moment) but I'm so stressed out right now!

[banskogirl]

Ugh. Why can't this ever be easy?

Aw come on, we love it!! Wouldn't miss this for the world!

[Hawkeye]

Advantage Murray in more ways than one...

[Hawkeye]

Get in!

[Alis]

Well done that man!!!!!

[davech]

That was some of the best serving all match from Andy! Nicely dne.

[pippadaisy]

wowser ace to take the game well held

[Sallydaisy]

WOW!!!

That is more like it; finding the first serves right when he needed them to get out of trouble.

[hfwardhouse]

Wow Andy :cheer: :cheer:

Can you serve like that the rest of the match please :thumbup:

LET'S GO ANDY LET'S GO!!

[Jan]

good hold Andy - no let up

[-J-]

good lad
tuffed it out
to much to ask for a kitkat ?
cmonnnnnnnnnn

[Manaus]

tried that and switched the computer off its not coming back:grrr:

Hmmm, checked that the volume is not muted? Or if your speakers/earphones are disabled?

Get the break Andy!

[Helen40]

4th glass of wine....

[traveller7]

we will realise when this is over how fantastic he is playing but i cant relax til match point is over and andy wins!

[Helen40]

Hmmm, checked that the volume is not muted? Or if your speakers/earphones are disabled?

Get the break Andy!
Stick it on the radio while you're sorting it.

[JennieF]

4th glass of wine....
And still able to focus??

[pippadaisy]

Hmmm, checked that the volume is not muted? Or if your speakers/earphones are disablednope sound just left all of a sudden
OH WELL bORIS WAS GETTING ON MY NERVES ANYWAY lol

[ljs]

4th glass of wine....

your allowed Helen , 3rd for me :lol:

[-J-]

little glimmer
cmonnnnnnnnnnnn

[JennieF]

Is it the odd conditions - wind etc - on court that's making this such a strange match?

[banskogirl]

Oh dear Nole doesn't think he's out of it!

[Manaus]

Hmmm, checked that the volume is not muted? Or if your speakers/earphones are disablednope sound just left all of a sudden
OH WELL bORIS WAS GETTING ON MY NERVES ANYWAY lol

Ah ok, not sure what else it could be sorry.

Damn, Djoko holds. Keep holding Andy, don't let Djoko in.

[Alis]

Nice easy hold now Andy.

[Caro]

Can't drink cos have to drive early in the morning. Actually feel strangely calm at the moment ... it may not last!!

[cloudygirl]

stress

[-J-]

sok andyy lets settle for a period of consolidation
cmonnnnnn

[Sallydaisy]

Well played Nole ... great play at the net.
He holds an we get a wry smile from Andy.

Just keep holding your serve Andy ...

[hfwardhouse]

Keep serving well Andy

COME ON!!!

[ljs]

cmonnn Andy , shut this down , give him no hope , u hear me !!!!!

[davech]

Time to put Djoko back in his little box.

[Nina]

stop wasting challenges

[ljs]

I need a smoke

[Helen40]

And still able to focus??
Better than having no nails left. :laugh:

[JAMES4578]

All credit to Nole, thought Andy had the measure of him on that point. Just hang tough Andy!

[Alis]

stop wasting challenges

He didn't waste that one.

[Manaus]

Djoko getting confident, please hold Andy! :sofa:

[banskogirl]

Oh commies are so annoying!

[JennieF]

I can't help liking Djoko. Don't want him to win a set though.

[hfwardhouse]

yup Andy you just said it :lol:

COME ON ANDY!!!

[Manaus]

Now a DF.:sad: 2BPs. :sofa:

[rainy days]

DF... No. :sad: Come on Andy!

[Sallydaisy]

*15-40 and the net is playing it's part here.
He just told himself to 'take your time'!!!

Come on Muzzah!!!!!!

:swingin::swingin::swingin:

[Helen40]

nooo!!

[Sallydaisy]

Nole breaks and it's Andy *1-2.
:sofa:

[Alis]

Now he needs to focus and break back straight away.

[Jan]

nooooooooooo
come on Andy - remember how you broke him before

[Manaus]

Dang! :sad: Djoko breaks. Not good start.

[-J-]

forget it andy
look to break him back straight away
cmonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Aussie Andy]

Andy Murray, do not let Djoker into this match. Keep going! Don't rest on your laurels until it's over.

[Maza1987]

stay calm.

[KnightOwl]

Ouch. Still plenty of fight left in Nole, as expected, but it's only one break and Andy's still two sets up :)

[Helen40]

I can't help liking Djoko. Don't want him to win a set though.
I like Djokers too, and Rafa.....but...I still want Andy to win!

[JennieF]

Better than having no nails left. :laugh:
I have no fists left!!

[Alis]

Don't. don't let this set run away from you Andy.

[JAMES4578]

oh no Andy broken, Andy didn't have his best game and Nole seems up for the challenge-must try and break back!

[JennieF]

Come on Andy.....break back!

[traveller7]

andy is still2 sets up and has been breaking Nole its fine

[rondun]

I like Djokers too, and Rafa.....but...I still want Andy to win!I can't stand him when he starts with all the chest beating stuff, Who does he think he is?

[JennieF]

I have a sneaky feeling that Nole really wants Andy to win.

[Helen40]

I have no fists left!!
I'll be gutted if I have no wine left :laugh:

[Nina]

I can't stand him when he starts with all the chest beating stuff, Who does he think he is?

I don't like it too!
horrible

[Manaus]

I have a sneaky feeling that Nole really wants Andy to win.

Not taking any chances. :cauldron:

Break him Andy!

[JennieF]

How DID Andy do that?! He's just MAGIC!!

[ljs]

dont think so jennie

[Alis]

I have a sneaky feeling that Nole really wants Andy to win.

He has a funny way of showing it!

[Helen40]

I can't stand him when he starts with all the chest beating stuff, Who does he think he is?
Well he was world no 1. I get that, i8t's good to be proud of your acievements. However, I can't bear SmugFed and his false modesty.

Cummon Andy!!

[Manaus]

Andy has to keep holding, don't give Djoko anymore!

[Alis]

Andy really must hold this one - otherwise Djoko is going to run away with this set.

[Aussie Andy]

Andy, time for a comeback.

[JennieF]

Not taking any chances. :cauldron:

Keep stirring Manaus!

[-J-]

close it out
cmonnnnnnnn

[Helen40]

I have a sneaky feeling that Nole really wants Andy to win.
I was thinking that too in the first set, but now it's like Djokers has decided he can't bear to lose - I can relate to that.

[-J-]

cmonnnn andy finish it

[Maza1987]

nice hold
now get back into him

[Manaus]

Good hold. Now pressure him!

[Jan]

well held Andy
now let's think about a kitkat

[Alis]

Good hold - now break.

[traveller7]

It will be highly unlikely if Nole doesnt win a set in this match

[banskogirl]

Come on Andy....Kit kat!!

[Helen40]

Dreading the hangover tomorrow. :wino:

[ljs]

Dreading the hangover tomorrow. :wino:

[Helen40]

I don't care about the crowds having a good match, I just want Andy to win quickly so I don't get a hangover ;)

[Alis]

[traveller7]
