Andy romped through his match against Lukas Lacko in just over 57mins.
Stan struggled to beat Chardy and took 2hrs37mins to win 7'6, 6'7, 7'5.
However, they both get a rest from the singles and don't meet in the Quarter-Final until Friday.
Andy leads their H2H (http://www.atpworldtour.com/Players/Head-To-Head.aspx?pId=MC10&oId=W367) 7-4 with the most recent win being at the Olympics 2 months ago.
(Andy beat another Swiss player in that event ............)
;)
On hard court Andy leads 5-2 - see their match record below of which only 2 have been in straight sets. Fair to say that Stan gives Andy a tough match when they meet and that includes 2 famous 5-setters in 2009 (Wimbledon) and 2010 (USO).
Hopefully, Andy has now got the measure of Stan the Man.
We'll find out on Friday morning ...

Andy seems to be on a high at the moment: I reckon he'll have a very HARD time LOSING to Stan.*
*Antijinx
ooh that's early! Not sure I can get up for this!!!
:grrr: Oh well, since there's pictures of this it's worth setting the alarm...
I'm on a long weekend as of tomorrow, so I can get up for it and the doubles, and then go back to bed. Nice. :pirate:
For once I'm working tomorrow :grrr: Will have to record it and then avoid this place till I get in from work.
Best of luck, Andy:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::)

The record makes it look close between these 2. But Andy has won 5 of the last 6 against Stan and I reckon he's got the measure of the Swiss in recent times. Best of luck Andy, keep up the charge to world No. 1

I'm pretty sure I won't be! It'll be another hour or more before I get to bed. However I should be able to watch the match by rewinding the tennistv stream.
Tipsarevic / Raonic are 3-3 in the 3rd, so another half an hour or so before Andy is on.
Go out there and show them who's the boss Andy!! All the very best of best luck. Won't be able to watch as having eye operation this morning but will look forward to hearing what score you won by! :swingin:

But Andy's just won that point. and another 30-30

Thing is he needs to get this match over quickly so he can rest and then go win the dubs as well. It's scheduled for not before 07.00 UK time - 15mins Muzz?

eekkk hes stretching his back
wow , what great defense there !!!!!!

05-10-2012, 05:52
Aside from his opening service game Andy has pretty much controlled this set and will now serve for it at 5-2, don't give Stan any 2nd chances!
Great stuff, Andy - 6-2 :clap::clap::clap:

2nd set 6'3 to Stan the Man; loose play from Andy in the early game let him back in and believe.
Andy has to blast him off the court if he can in the 3rd set.
Nice hold to start the final set.

Stan saved both and now has Ad.
Stan deals with them well, but here's a third!
A fourth deuce in this game, this could be big mentally either way.
Morning all - I thought this would be all over by now.
Come on Andy!
A great get from Andy brings a fourth break point.
Sallydaisy
05-10-2012, 06:54
Wow! How did Andy get that!!! Error from Stan and another Ad for Andy.
Lost count of the number of deuces.
A lucky let cord gives Andy the break!

An extremely dodgy dropper there from Andy...

Fortunate for Andy there but awesome from Andy the previous point!
Stan's turn to break a racket and get a warning...
Sallydaisy
05-10-2012, 06:59
Some racquet smash from Stani ..........
That's one apiece in this match.
:smashed:
Two great serves from 30 all and it's 4-1* Andy.
has it been a good match?
Some good quality in the first set, but a lapse of concentration early in the second set cost him. Just the odd flash in the third set.
*4-2
Sallydaisy
05-10-2012, 07:06
has it been a good match?
Andy found a curate's egg for our breakfast ..........
He dominated the first set, went walkabout in the 2nd and is now ahead in the 3rd whilst not playing at his best. Has been clutching at body parts from time to time ...
He's still the Andy we know and love with or without a Slam and Gold medal.

Shot!!!
Sallydaisy
05-10-2012, 07:10
And that was a missed 'tweener and a lot of beating up of the net.
Did he get a warning for that?
Deuce (Andy thought he'd served an Ace on 2nd serve).
Bit of a daft 'tweener in that game but it's 5-2*. Let's finish this with a nice break.

WELL DONE ANDY. How nice it is to feel that confidence of 'oh well, it was a dodgy service game but he's entitled to one - he'll tie up the third set' and feel sure that he can and will.
Its always been a pleasure to be an Andy fan but so much easier on the nerves at the moment

I determinedly stayed clear of forums until I could watch the match on tennistv's rewind function. What a pity, then, that as I opened the stream, they were just saying "Match point Murray"! I had thought the match would be over by then. Ah well, it saved the fingernails during the second set.
Well done Andy! Despite the blip in the 2nd I knew he would come through!

I did the same Madeline and clicked on catch-up. It actually took me to a two-minute summary of the previous match and then I saw the full match. Perhaps it was the "match point" of the previous game. Or if you did it at 08:xx presumably a live match cannot have "catch up" (the philosophers can work that one out....)
Anyway, well done Andy. Stan played some good tennis. A few lapses of concentration from Andy but some good tennis in patches. Good enough to get through I suppose, when all said and done!
Thought Andy looked imperious in the first set. Stan fought well but Andy was on top. Then the lapse in the second set *sigh* and he started clutching at his back (I do hope it's nothing). Managed to pull out the win but this won't do against the Missile tomorrow. He can't afford to lose a service game and so far as I'm aware, there's no wind issue in Tokyo to affect the Missile's serve. So could go to tiebreakers.

Great he got the win.
I was following the score up until 7.30 when I left for work.
I thought that it must be a lapse of concentration - it would be good if he could address that in his game.
When is this televised?
Is Lendl with him for the Asia stint?
