AWESOME ANDY - Champion in Bangkok 2011, 6'2, 6'0

[Sallydaisy]

Andy is through to the Final of the Bangkok tournament - the first time since 2005 when, as an upcoming 18yr old WR#109 he lost to Roger Federer WR#1.

His opponent is Donald Young, who earlier today beat Gael Monfils in a tie-break for the 3rd set, and against whom Andy has a 1-1 H2H. (http://www.atpworldtour.com/Players/Head-To-Head.aspx?pId=MC10&oId=Y124)

Andy lost to Young in R1 of the Indian Wells Masters earlier this year - not long after losing his 2nd AO Final.
He avenged that defeat in some style at the USO in August with a 6-2, 6-3, 6-3 win over the American.

The match is on Sunday 2nd October - 9am UK time.

No lie-ins but a sofa might be useful.

[Linda]

Unfortunately I'll miss it as I'll be at church. Good luck Andy!

[pabbers]

Gulp - sofa definitely required. If Young comes out volleying and makes fewer errors than at their last meeting............:help:

[RoastLamb]

Up at 4 a.m. for me. This time I will ensure the power outlet for the laptop actually works.

[davech]

Any chance this is going to be on the telly?

[JAMES4578]

Any chance this is going to be on the telly? It certainly doesn't look like it as not in the listings. However, we all should be able to catch a stream if it's a suitable time. Young can be tough of course but Andy must be favoured to take another title! Glad to be on the new forum!

[Aya]

Hey all. Long time. Couldn't register with my former username as it has to be longer than 3 characters. I miss all of you. I've been studying a lot lately.

Hope Andy can get the title tomorrow!

Thanks to all who worked on setting up the new forum. It's great to have it back! :)

[Arjun Jethwa]

Blimey, we are back in business!

I'd pick Andy in two, just can't see Donald winning this one.

[_Michelle_x_x]

Im a bit nervous about this one, i'm gonna be honest! But in saying that, he's looked so relaxed on court all week and not let much phase him, so hopefully if he keeps in the zone then he can pull it off. COME ON ANDY!

[davech]

I reckon Andy will beat Donald pretty comfortably. :sofa:

[JAMES4578]

He did that at the Us Open of course but every match is different and we know Donald can be tricky on his day. Still in a final Andy must be the clear favourite, go Muzzah!

[_Michelle_x_x]

Exactly! Tricky is a good word to use lol

[patmoren]

Go with the flow Andy, you are serving and returning well and staying focused, no problem

[jeannie13]

Of course Andy can win this match. I see that Young has lost more matches than he has won this year. --win/loss 21/22. Food for thought!
Many thanks for setting up this site & it's wonderful to have the Thanks button back :clap:

[KnightOwl]

Nice to see you again Jeannie and :welcome:

[Madeline]

I had to miss most of today's match as I was out singing, but I'll set the alarm to make sure I don't oversleep tomorrow.

Thanks to all those involved in setting up this forum :clap:

[Maza1987]

Gl Andy.

[galagirl]

Big thank you to all for setting up this new forum :thanks:

Good Luck for tomorrow Andy:trophy:

[david1610]

I am sure Andy will expect Young to come out guns blazing. Might be one of those matches where Andy has to get inside his head.
Just needs Andy to focus hard for two good sets out of a maximum of three! C'mon Andy!

[ljs]

hi everyone :) formerly ljs now Lynda

Im sure Andy is gonna lift this trophy , unfortunately I will miss it , but sending good vibes ... go Andy :trophy:

[Linda]

Hi Lynda - I hope people won't get confused with a Lynda and a Linda on here! Many years ago, when I joined the original forum shortly after it was set up, I called myself Granny. Then someone joined called, I think, Granafan (or something very like that). and everyone got us totally confused! So I reverted to my real name of Linda and she reverted to her real name of Pam :big grin:

I won't be able to see the match either, as I'll be in church - but I have complete confidence in Andy! :big grin:

[Pam]

If Andy can keep up the consistency he has shown so far this week he should win this. I may be around to watch it - not sure yet.

[HenFan]

I've a strong suspicion Andy will take this - Young is having a great year and of course beat an out-of-sorts Andy earlier this year, but if Andy plays anywhere near his best I'd be shocked if he lost. Be great for him to get another title in the bag ahead of the final two Masters series and the World Tour Finals! :)

Take care... :)

[ljs]

:wave: Hi Linda .... different spelling so should be fine , if it gets confusing and i can go back to ljs then I will

[Linda]

I see you've gone back to ljs! So no confusion at all!

[Alis]

Hope you're right Davech - hope I'm wrong but I think this could be a murraycoaster!

[FoxyFi]

I've not managed to see any matches this week due to work, however will be cheering Andy on tomorrow.

C'monnnnnnnn Andy

:trophy:

[Joyce]

Go, Andy! Will be watching via livestream on Bet 365.

[lynne]

The Very Best of Luck Andy!!!:thumbup:

[supergran]

Good luck Andy!!:thumbup:

[danglingman]

Andy is at such a level now where it would be a big shock for him not to stroll through and take a 250 title like this.. If he concentrates tomorrow and keeps Young frustrated i think a win in 2 sets within 80 minutes... I really hope Andy has a great Asian swing and eats up the ranking ground on Fedward.. massive thank you to everyone who's worked to get the forum back!.. x

[xenon21]

Good luck Andy!!!!! Could be a bit of a banana skill but one Andy should avoid tripping over especially if he starts well and serves decently :)

[LindyDRed]

Good luck Andy :) Annoyed I won't be able to watch.

[Jean]

:thanks:Firstly i would like to thank everyone for all the dedication and hard work it must have been over the past while in getting this forum back and up and running - although we had use of the 'other' forum - i now feel 'back home' again - so a Big :thanks: :thanks: :thanks: to you all




Goog Luck Andy- :clap:Bring the Title Home :clap:

[Alis]

Good luck Andy - make it the first of three in Asia! :thumbup:

[RoastLamb]

Shouldn't it have started by now???

[-J-]

its not up on LS yet :confused:

[JAMES4578]

Doubles has just finished, Marach and Qureshi beat Kholmann/Waske in two breakers.

[Oscar]

I second all the thanks to everyone who has got this new forum up and running

I don't suppose the match is being actually televised by anyone? Only livestream I expect

Go Andy, make it your third title this year

[Madeline]

My tennistv stream has been saying, "Live event will be starting shortly" for ages. I could have had a bit longer in bed (it's been a hard week, and only Andy could have got me up early)

[RoastLamb]

Doubles has just finished, Marach and Qureshi beat Kholmann/Waske in two breakers.\

Oh I see. :thanks: I'm in bed and I was starting to feel like I was in the twilight zone.

[Madeline]

Yes! we're in business now.

[-J-]

pictures up now

[Hawkeye]

Players coming out!

[JAMES4578]

Checked again and definitely not on tv unfortunately. Andy coming on to court now!

[RoastLamb]

OK, feel better now.

[david1610]

Andy warming up - images now up! On tennis tv that is....

[Jane]

Best of luck, Andy:thumbup::thumbup::)

[RoastLamb]

Got Ozzie commies on tennistv. Always enjoy the Ozzies. :thumbup:

[Aussie Andy]

Phew, got registered here just in time! Must check out the smilies.

[-J-]

great start from andy

[Aussie Andy]

Yes, got a sofa! :sofa::yahoo:

[david1610]

Wonder if Andy chose to receive? Great choice if so.... Young clearly nervous and is broken. Now consolidate please.
Focus. Safe hold. C'mon Andy!

[RoastLamb]

Nice Kitkat to start with! :yahoo:

[JAMES4578]

Andy gets the immediate break, come on! Welcome Aussie Andy!

[david1610]

Equally impressive hold. Andy is fully there. Now a double break.....

[-J-]

andy looking good

[Aussie Andy]

Livescores playing up, grrrrr. Glad to see Andy's forging ahead already. Drat. I predicted a tough scoreline. Oh well. :thumbup:

[Aussie Andy]

Young serving, 15-30... 30-30... come on Andy... 30-40 break point for Andy... COME ON...

And ANDY MURRAY 3-0 up in the first set and to serve. :yahoo:

[Oscar]

Andy must have his flight to Tokyo booked early! Great start

[RoastLamb]

:cheer::cheer: :cheer: Double Kitkat. Andy playing very well so far. :cheer::cheer::cheer:

[-J-]

3-0 double break up
couldnt ask for a better start

[david1610]

Double break! We know one set does not a match or a tournament make, but as long as Andy stays focused, looking good.
Focus. Safe hold. C'mon Andy!

[Aussie Andy]

Murray holds serve. Could he bagel Young, perhaps? 4-0 already.

[Pam]

Great start from Andy 4'0

[david1610]

4-1 ....
Focus. Safe hold. C'mon Andy!

[Aussie Andy]

Bye bye bagel. Perhaps we'll have breadsticks instead.

[david1610]

After the runaway start, Young starting to hold his serves. 5-2 Andy.
Focus. Safe hold. C'mon Andy!

[JAMES4578]

Young held again but Andy willl surely serve it out and has been a class above! Donald though waas a bit edgy in the opening stages.

[Jane]

Wey hey - first set to Andy:cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer:

[Aussie Andy]

Well, I reckon we already know the winner, don't we? (Alright, perhaps just a little premature... :))

[-J-]

GETTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNN:swingin::thumbup:

[greatunclebulgaria]

1st set in the bag :cheer::cheer::clap:

[RoastLamb]

:yahoo: 6-2, Awesome first set.:yahoo:

[lynne]

Great start Andy!!!:cheer::cheer:

[david1610]

Well done Andy! 29 minutes.
He is likely to come at you at the beginning of the next set and you just need to stay focused and make sure you hold your serve in the first part of the set, at least, then you can put pressure on and break him.
C'mon Andy!

[davech]

Oops! Overslept. Looks like it's going pretty well though.

[Oscar]

Good to see such positive play from Andy. Young must be nervous though - first final and anxious to beat Andy again.

Keep focused for the second and hopefully final set

[JAMES4578]

Fab set from Andy, though he must try and keep the pressure on and not let Young in, come on!

[pabbers]

Well, I reckon we already know the winner, don't we? (Alright, perhaps just a little premature... :))

SHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh or I'll have to go find me anti-jinx potion! :big grin:

YAYYYYYYYY great first set but Young now managing to hold serve.

[david1610]

I understand the feeling Andy but we have seen Andy lose after bagelling opponents in the first set so one set, game, point at a time!

[Sallydaisy]

GETTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNN:swingin::thumbup:

Someone is on for a perfect FTM score then ..............
:)

[Aussie Andy]

SHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh or I'll have to go find me anti-jinx potion! :big grin:

YAYYYYYYYY great first set but Young now managing to hold serve.

*whispers* sorry. Surely I meant Young as the winner, eh?

[JennieF]

HIYA everyone - so good to be back on forum. Thanks to all for all their work! Now......can I get a livestream???

[david1610]

Well broken. And now the key game perhaps.....
Focus. Safe hold. C'mon Andy!

[RoastLamb]

ANOTHER Kitkat. Can hardly believe my eyes.

[-J-]

Someone is on for a perfect FTM score then ..............

[Aussie Andy]

Andy Murray 2-0 up in the second set, good gracious, admire how Young is beating him!

[david1610]

Yeah! 2-0. One more please just to make sure! C'mon Andy!

[JAMES4578]

Awesome Andy cruising right now and Young can't make an impact on him really, keep going!

[Aussie Andy]

3-0, double kitkat - I'm seriously scared. Suppose Donald Young loses?! Oh the agony.

[david1610]

3-0 Well done. Now......
Focus. Safe hold. C'mon Andy!

[-J-]

awesome stuff from Andy:worship:

[davech]

Andy's thrashing him right now. I'd forgotten just how good he could be on indoor hard courts.

[JAMES4578]

Incredible stuff and fabulous winner to seal the double break!

[RoastLamb]

Blmey! Unbelievable stuff. :shocked:

[JennieF]

http://www.sportlemon.tv/v-2/10/100/v-310127.html

Thanks -J-. :wave:

[Sallydaisy]

Loving this. Andy's playing a fantastic match.

[Aussie Andy]

4-0 to Andy Murray in the second set! It'll be over before dinnertime.

[davech]

Commentator is annoying me a little - suggesting Young is a bit tired after playing well all week, and that's the reason he's making all the errors.

[david1610]

4-0 Andy did not have to do much then to be honest. Slight feeling of "rabbit in the headlights" with regard to Young.
But still some work to do....
C'mon Andy!

[Aussie Andy]

5-0. Murray serving for the match. Or is that championship?

[Sallydaisy]

5-0 and another break - incredible stuff from Andy!
:)

[-J-]

one more game required
would be just like Andy to get broke here

[david1610]

5-0 You have to feel a bit sorry for the crowd I suppose (was the doubles final beforehand a good match?) but still want .....

Focus. Safe hold. C'mon Andy!

[greatunclebulgaria]

wow :clap: no need for :wino: this morning just as well as it's a tad early :rolling:

[JennieF]

Wow!

getiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Jane]

Congratulations Andy on a great and speedy win.:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::):):):)

[david1610]

And he completes the bagel. A number 4 player turned up on court today and a (newly-joined) top fifty player did not, really.
Good decision to go to Thailand. Just one tricky set. 48/49 minutes for a another title!
Well done Andy.

[Aussie Andy]

That was less than an hour, I demand my money back! Wait... I didn't spend any, thank goodness.

[davech]

Fantastic win! Young just didn't know what to do about Andy's game today - Andy was better in every department.

[-J-]

oooo my teamie :grouphug:michael got the first set right to
btw sorry missed the overall life is a tad manic at the mo

[Oscar]

What a match! A pleasure to watch

Now off to Tokyo and Baghdatis who is currently 3-2 up against Tipsarevic.

[JAMES4578]

Andy is the champion after a stunning display, well done Andy- marvellous! Didn't get too much of a challenge but Murray really was on top of his game. His 3rd title this year and 19th overall:cheer::cheer::cheer::trophy::trophy:!

[RoastLamb]

That was less than an hour, I demand my money back! Wait... I didn't spend any, thank goodness.

Yeah, you have to feel sorry for the poor crowd.

Amazing easy final. Wowza!

250 points. Great going, Andy. Keep it up and you'll be No. 3 in no time. :flowers:

Amazing to think Andy has more titles than Fed and Rafa this year.

Brilliant from Andy today - all over in 48 mins.

WELL DONE ANDY!! Back in Champion mode! Good luck in Tokyo! :swingin::swingin::swingin:

More than RAFA! :hug: Superb, Andy!

[-J-]

Amazing to think Andy has more titles than Fed and Rafa this year.has fed won one ?

[JennieF]

When's that trophy coming out??!!

[Aussie Andy]

Federer? Yes, Doha, in January.

[RoastLamb]

has fed won one ?

Yeah - Doha at the beginning of the year.

[davech]

Just saw a "Love Hawk Eye" sign in the crowd - he's a popular chap, you know.

[Aussie Andy]

A great win to start off the new forum!

[-J-]

Sheesh! The trophy presentation is taking longer than the actual match.

[Aussie Andy]

Now I'm looking for pics of Andy and the trophy. :help:

[RoastLamb]

Now I'm looking for pics of Andy and the trophy. :help:
They've not given it to him yet.

[pabbers]

Now I'm looking for pics of Andy and the trophy. :help:

They're still presenting the doubles - it's a bit shambolic!

[Aussie Andy]

They've not given it to him yet.

That must be why I haven't found any. :shamed: :trophy:

[-J-]

i like the idea of a joint presentation ceremony

[Pam]

Very long drawn out ceremony in Tailand. They are doing the doubles first.

[RoastLamb]

Nice they're giving a lot of time to the dubs players. Not much in prize money though.

[Aussie Andy]

Well, hopefully this will be a confidence boost in time for Tokyo.

[david1610]

Very professional Andy! Seeing some of the Youtube clips of meeting the Thai PM, having to eat his food while being (over)interviewed, Andy has been very ambassadorial this week.
Well done on and off the court this week Andy!

[RoastLamb]

Awww Andy was nice about Donald. Feel a tad sorry for the American esp. when he said he didn't get into Tokyo coz he missed the qualies. Anyway, I'm off to bedski.

[FoxyFi]

Superb from Andy today, looking good:yahoo:

[silver]

A great performance from Andy and lovely to see how well he has been received and appreciated in Thailand. He seems to have a lot of fans out there.

[Madeline]

That has to be the weirdest way of presenting the trophy I have ever seen. . .

[Alis]

Livestream went down just as Andy got on the podium - very frustrating!

Well done Andy - focussed and professional - very well deserved win. :cheer::cheer::cheer:

[Katie]

Well done Andy! :trophy: Great to see him win another title. Very professional and focused performance today.

Tough for Donald, it's never easy in your first final - and facing one of the top 4 is the toughest it gets.

[Aussie Andy]

That has to be the weirdest way of presenting the trophy I have ever seen. . .

I don't have livestream or TV, what was weird about it?

[KnightOwl]

He got taken over to the side by an official, then he and the official bowed, and Andy had to walk forwards by himself and pick the trophy up off what looked more like a shrine than anything else - with a photo on top of some guy in imilitary uniform!

[galagirl]

Andy------BRILLIANT!!!!!!!:clap:

[JAMES4578]

It was a lengthy cermony with the doubles at the same time too but good to them centre stage too. Think rthey expected the final to last a bit longer so took a while to get going! Anyway was delightful and seemed very pleased with the victory, good to see him appreciated too! Though I thought it was a bit odd he had to pick up the trophy himself! unfortunately though I was on livescorehunter and the audio when when Andy and Donald were speaking wasn't that great.

[Hawkeye]

Just saw a "Love Hawk Eye" sign in the crowd - he's a popular chap, you know.

[Aussie Andy]

Well, none of us predicted the score correctly! :grrr:

[Aya]

Only had 5 periods in school today and expected to catch a bit of the final but it was so straight-forward and I came just a bit late. Anyway, I'm so glad Andy won and did it comfortably. I'm over the moon. Hope I can catch a re-run later. Well done braveheart! :)

[ChrisMac]

Congratulations Andy :wino: Flawless performance. :cheer::cheer: So very happy for you, 19 titles now, no bad eh!

Congratulations Andy for a brilliant win! Completely dominant, fantastic shots, controlled play and brilliant movement. Loved it!!!

[rouges]

Hello everyone, I've missed a lot as I've been away and so happy to be in our new home and look forward to chatting to you all on a daily basis. Wasn't Andy just awesome. I felt sorry for Young but happy Andy did not lose too much NRG cos a long end of year season for him now. Japan, China, Paris and London here we come. :cheer::cheer::wave:

[Linda]

Just got in from church and delighted to see the result! What an emphatic win! Well done Andy :clap: :clap: :clap:

Had to go out early and thought I would be back to pick-up a livestream but instead came back to some great news.
ANDY HAS WON YET ANOTHER ATP FINAL :trophy:

[Nina]

I'm happy Andy won 3rd title this year!
Go for 3 spot in the ranking Andy! :clap:

[Maza1987]

Great stuff.
Gotta show 'the don' who the boss is after his loss to him earlier this year.

[LC the fan]

If, like me, you are anxious to see any pictures of Andy with the trophy there is one on the front page of the old forum Andymurray.com.
The only one I've seen so far - he has a rather dejected looking Donald with him.

If anyone can come up with some video, post match interviews or other pics- just let us know...pleeeese

[Elizabeth]

Great win for Andy - so happy for him and so happy I have found this new forum, it is brilliant. Many thanks for all involved in setting up.

[VamosVixs]

Congratulations Andy!!! Step nearer to number 3!!! :swingin:



Missed his match as I was still in bed after a mega late night!! :wino:

There's a report with picture here (and Young is smiling in this one!): http://www.thesportreview.com/tsr/2011/10/andy-murray-thailand-open-donald-young-federer/

[hfwardhouse]

There's a nice pic on the BBC sport page (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/15142359.stm) reporting on the match too ....

I was delighted to come home to the news of Andy's win - he was 4-0 up in the first when I left but as we all know with Andy, that isn't always how it carries on :laugh: No Murraycoaster today - way to go Andy :trophy:

[patmoren]

Shame I couldn't watch this live. Sounds as though it was an Andy Master Class. James4578 kept me updated with the scores whilst I was travelling to Liskeard and back which saved my sanity. The match was so quick that it was all over before we got back home! Well done Andy the gap is closing!!

[ljs]

WoooHooo so glad to see he won , hope he can keep it going .

Does anyone have a link or something where I can watch highlights of this match? Sounds like Andy played a blinder and gutted I missed it!

Great to see a new permanent forum for Andy fans. Thanks, guys, for setting this up. And perfect that we have an Andy win to kick it off ... a sign of things to come, I hope.

I;m fine--my eyelid was unstitched just over a week ago--It's nice to see 2 eyes when I look in the mirror. :pirate: my sister Isla is improving all the time. Just uses a stick when she is outside.& is managing a bit more driving.:thumbup:

Andy looked so tall & mature beside the wee Thai gentlemen!!:worship:

I so much prefer his black outfit to the red - very distinguished!

Love him in black...he should wear it more often.:)

Well done Andy. Fantastic performance.

It was great to see Andy playing so well, I'm sure that this will give great confidence to have all areas of his game in such great shape. It is good to be back as I couldn't find the temporary site after the plug was pulled on the Andy Murray forum, So hi everyone.:swingin:

Welcome back Mickey. Seems like there/s only you and me chatting at the moment! Hope Andy takes the momentum of his win to Tokyo with him. Good luck Andy!

What a fantastic tournament for Andy, so thrilled for him! I was away for the weekend with family and so couldn't watch the semis and final but I was following on livescores yesterday and what a treat it was!:clap:

Brilliant Andy!!! I was away without internet over the weeked, so had to rely on BBC ceefax! But they were pretty good, so I found out the result!
Glad to hear that Andy played well. Another 250 points towards the goal:trophy::trophy::trophy::trophy:

Jeannie - interesting you mention the black gear - I've noticed that players wearing black often win!

It certainly works for Djokovic!

Well done Andy, maximum result in the minimum time! :trophy: It was a great weekend all round - new forum, new climate, taken sofa to the tip as clearly no longer required. And as if all that weren't enough, we have jiggling smileys and a thanks button, hurrah!!! :cheer::clap::dance::yahoo:
