WIMBLEDON 2013, SEMI-FINAL: Andy pole vaults into the Final ... 6'7, 6'4, 6'4, 6'3

[Mandiemoo]

3 set shoot out!

[KnightOwl]

Brilliant! That's how you serve out a set :yahoo:

[hfwardhouse]

Wooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Well done Andy!

Now a quick 3rd set would be fab!

[harriet]

served for the set and made it! one set all, JJ to serve first

[ljs]

wooootwoooot cmon Andy !!!!!!!

[Mandiemoo]

Got to have sound off as mini moo in bed, is jerzy having words with umpire?

[traveller7]

Lets hope an early break happens here too for Andy
I believe I have predicted the first two sets correctly woop hope im right about the next two!
Woops no I haven't ah well lets hope its 4 sets

[ljs]

im finding this extremely stressful lol more so than any other match , even the USOpen final

[Manaus]

Levels! :cheer: Still got a long way to go though.

[Sallydaisy]

How to lob someone 6'8" tall ...

[hfwardhouse]

Wow - what a lob!

[Manaus]

And that's how you lob someone who is 6 foot 8. :)

[Manaus]

Need to hold Andy, don't give Jerzy anything.

[Mandiemoo]

He's not going away. Sometimes these players of an unknown quantity are very dangerous. No sign of nerves.

[KnightOwl]

Eeek! What was that?! :grrr:

[Sallydaisy]

:hmm:

[hfwardhouse]

Come on andy!!!!!!!

[david1610]

Look on the positive side... JJ had been broken... what 3 or 4 times in his previous 5 matchers, 73 service games.
Andy has already done it once and had other BPs. But we should not underestimate how difficult everybody has found it to break JJ and Andy seems to be doing really well so far. As long as he can stay focused on serve.
C'mon Andy!

[Sallydaisy]

Come on Andy, run him around and take the legs from under him!!!
And get him cross ...
And stop missing chances ... 'cos Jerzy has a glimmer here!

[Mandiemoo]

A few dodgy shots from Muzz, get back on it Andy!

[Manaus]

Oh no, BPs hold Andy! :sofa:

[Sallydaisy]

Luck of the net gives Jerzy 2 break points and it'd be hard to break this tree back!

[Sallydaisy]

Let's have another Ace Andy!

[Sallydaisy]

Let's have another Ace Andy!
thatlldonicelythankyouverymuch

[Hawkeye]

There you go Sally! Ask and ye shall receive!

[KnightOwl]

Two aces - two more please?

Edit: there's one...

[hfwardhouse]

And another .... C'MON MUZZAH!

[Sallydaisy]

Another Ace for Advantage Andy!

[Manaus]

:phew: I really want Andy to break soon.

[KnightOwl]

Great hold in the end!

[sid]

Well done Andy what a hold

[clancy]

Not enjoying this at all!

[Manaus]

Easier hold please Andy. :sofa:

[david1610]

Just focus everything in holding and hope to get lucky. If you cannot concentrate on every game, just concentrate on the serving.
C'mon Andy!

Janowicz again asks about roof at 1-0 in third. As someone pointed out, his contact lenses may make darkness more problematic. #Wimbledon

[Sallydaisy]

JJ plays bish-bash tennis; don't like it.
I hope he gets annoyed and loses focus over his wish to play under the roof.

It'll be OK though; I think Queenie has sent for Bond.

Neil Harman ‏@NeilHarmanTimes 9s


The roof currently being moved further back to allow more light on proceedings

[traveller7]

Hope he does get riled up about the light make him lose focus.
And I wear contact lenses, the dark light doesnt affect me one jot he is just whinging.

[cazza99]

Ben Rothenberg ‏@BenRothenberg 19s


"As long as we can? We cannot, because it's too dark!" -Jerzy Janowicz, as he gets up to resume play at 1-2 in the third. #Wimbledon

[david1610]

Story of match so far?
BPs Andy 1/7 JJ 0/6 TB - 1 clear victory for JJ.
C'mon Andy!

[Manaus]

Oh Andy! :sofa:

[Hawkeye]

What was that?

[hfwardhouse]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo :sad:

COME ON ANDY BREAK STRAIGHT BACK

[Manaus]

Oh no broken. :sad:

[Sallydaisy]

Freddy Fuddpuckers.

[Mandiemoo]

Ahem. Not the break i was looking for.

Seems his eyesight ok now.

Murraycoaster is in the station

[JAMES4578]

wrong shot selection and Andy broken, come on!

[pippadaisy]

eeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkk

[traveller7]

JJ box are really irritating with their clapping and smirks
Andy could lose this set if he isnt careful

[Hawkeye]

Janowicz getting on my nerves with the fist pumping and the pointing.

[traveller7]

Ahem. Not the break i was looking for.

Seems his eyesight ok now.

Murraycoaster is in the station

Yep as a lenses wearer dark light doesnt affect vision

[Manaus]

Jerzy consolidates, this is not looking good. :sad:

[david1610]

What happened? Did Andy just lose focus?

[pippadaisy]

Janowicz getting on my nerves with the fist pumping and the pointing.
me too

[traveller7]

Janowicz getting on my nerves with the fist pumping and the pointing.
I find him far too aggressive and sulky

[Mandiemoo]

Hmm. This is not the script i was imagining.

[harriet]

oooh, JJ has the break, andy now at 1-4

[clancy]

And me

[KnightOwl]

Fantastic serving - now we need a break!!

[traveller7]

Much better hold now break!

[Mandiemoo]

Fab serve game. But now for the break, please

[pippadaisy]

good hold now attack

[Manaus]

Jerzy has upped his 1st serve % as the match went on, this is getting harder:
Set 1: 57
Set 2: 50
Set 3: 74 :eek:

Really hope Andy breaks but with Jerzy serving like he is...:sofa:

[pippadaisy]

Is he lucky with the net cord or what

[KnightOwl]

That's how to handle Jerzy's droppers :clap:

[KnightOwl]

Is he lucky with the net cord or what

Hee Hee - now it's Andy's turn :pirate:

[pippadaisy]

yeess and the net has changed its allegence at last

[traveller7]

Woooooooooooooooo get in!

[KnightOwl]

And again!! Fan-tas-tic :yahoo:

[Sallydaisy]

Woweeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!! Andy has broken back.!!!

[hfwardhouse]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo ooooooooooo!!!!!

Awesome shot to break back!!!!

[harriet]

wowww! great stuff, andy breaks back, on serve now at 3-4

[KnightOwl]

And the crowd are getting in to this now, too :clap:

[traveller7]

Hold and with fear and terror

[Hawkeye]

Come on andy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hawkeye]

P.S. I am now half cut.

[KnightOwl]

P.S. I am now half cut.

Only half...?

[traveller7]

And thats exactly what I meant!

[Sallydaisy]

P.S. I am now half cut.
Am about to start on a bottle of Wimbledon wine .....
:big grin:

[JennieF]

Time for JJ to be intimidated methinks! Stop a bit of his arrogance and deliberate grunting.

[JAMES4578]

Andy rose to the challenge magnificently, now keep it going!

[traveller7]

P.S. I am now half cut.
Best thing to be!

[KnightOwl]

James Cordon is getting well excited :)

[JennieF]

I thought I liked this young Pole watching him previously, but there is something about him I find really REALLY unpleasant.

[hfwardhouse]

:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

COME ON ANDY!!!!

[JennieF]

Well done Andy! REALLY REALLY WELL DONE!!

[traveller7]

Fanbloomintastic another break fab playing from 1-4 down

[sid]

wow

[Hawkeye]

Come on!

[JennieF]

Glad to Smithy cheering him on!

[KnightOwl]

I thought I liked this young Pole watching him previously, but there is something about him I find really REALLY unpleasant.

I agree - I thought the same - but I'm not liking him at all today.

To be fair, though, maybe that's just cos he's playing Andy...

[harriet]

KITKAT! andy has the chance to serve for the set at 5-4

[KnightOwl]

Ok, Andy, I can't stress this enough - HOLD!!

[JennieF]

Let's get JJ all sulky.

[JAMES4578]

Andy on fire now and a bit of a dip from Janowicz, should have the momentum now!

[KnightOwl]

C'mon, don't let him back in this...!

[hfwardhouse]

SP!!!

COME ON Andy!

[JennieF]

I agree - I thought the same - but I'm not liking him at all today.

To be fair, though, maybe that's just cos he's playing Andy...
There's something big headed about him, like he thinks he's a god, and his family's constant rythmic hand clapping is getting on my nerves. It's not the way we do things over here.

[Jane]

Andy leads 2 sets to 1 - great stuff :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

[JennieF]

YES YES YES!! Love you Andy!!!

[KnightOwl]

Great stuff :yahoo:

[traveller7]

You champ 6-4 get in

[hfwardhouse]

:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

[harriet]

andy holds for the set, after a deuce and a final ACE!

[Mandiemoo]

Arriba! Fab-u-lous!

Still no sound here, whats being said?

[KnightOwl]

Andy just invented a whole new shot - I'm going to call it the 'body dropper' :)

[traveller7]

There's something big headed about him, like he thinks he's a god, and his family's constant rythmic hand clapping is getting on my nerves. It's not the way we do things over here.
Totally agree

Damn they are closing the roof Andy isn't happy!

[pippadaisy]

noooo dont shut the roof this is so unfair

[murrayfan89]

Some blistering form in the later stages sees Andy take the third set. More of the same please Andy.

[hfwardhouse]

I knew this was going to happen - Andy's fuming. Gutted for him.

[pippadaisy]

this is ridiculous

[traveller7]

What rubbish closing the roof all cos of JJ hope it doesn't affect him too much

[JennieF]

I don't believe this.....unbelievable. Andy is so right. There are no specific rules and they seem to be bowing down to JJ's request.

[RoastLamb]

Well at least they're closing the roof when Andy's two sets up. Could be much worse. I hope he can refocus and just channel his energy into winning the fourth.

And I REALLY DON'T LIKE JJ! What a drama queen.

[pippadaisy]

Tim is spot on, a british player 2 sets up and they shut the roof UNBELIEVABLE

[Mandiemoo]

I feel like Irate of Tunbridge Wells! Bah humbug.

[cazza99]

Its ridiculous closing the roof early. Andy is not happy.

Its funny though, that they are postponing Sherlock, Andy's favourite program, because of the match.

[harriet]

U N B E L I E V A B L E!!!!, andy 2 sets up, on a roll, and they close the roooof! delay of 20 mins.

[KnightOwl]

There's not a cloud in the sky, it's full daylight here and I'm a good 160 miles north of SW19, so why on earth are they closing the roof?!

Tim is right - it's an outdoor tournament, so it should be played outdoors wherever possible - when it looks like the light is fading and it's starting to get dark, THEN you close the roof :grrr:

[Linda]

Can't believe this. Do Wimbledon not want a British champion? :grrr:

[hfwardhouse]

They were saying on twitter the roof would close at the end of the 3rd set ... ridiculous though.

[JennieF]

On a positive note - Andy knows what it feels like to be under the roof and will be used to the atmosphere and change of pace. Let's hope it works. John M is quite right - it shouldn't be anything to do with players' requests unless both players are complaining.

[pippadaisy]

aaaaaarrrrgggggggg
Reminds me of the time at roland garros when it was really dark and they wouldnt stop the match again favouring his opponent

[Chris83]

Hi all. Wasn't going to post here until the match was over due to my prediction but I feel I have to. This decision is disgraceful as is JJ on court behaviour. He's moaned, grunted selectively, scowls constantly and worst of all he gone for Andy several times at net. He's vile and has fast become my least favourite player ever which is a shame as he has a lot of talent.

[cazza99]

From the Wimbledon live blog

20:42The players head off and will return in 20 minutes once the roof is over. Have to feel great sympathy for Murray who had all the momentum there - and his mood won't be helped by Janowicz pointing to his coach and telling him to come the locker room. The Pole has the chance to regroup.

Maybe JJ was calling for roof to be closed early to speak to his coach.

[KnightOwl]

Can't believe this. Do Wimbledon not want a British champion? :grrr:

To be fair, they can't let that affect their decision....

[Mandiemoo]

From the Wimbledon live blog


Maybe JJ was calling for roof to be closed early to speak to his coach.

Won't Lendl go see Muzz too?

[pippadaisy]

Can't believe this. Do Wimbledon not want a British champion? :grrr:
of course not idiots that would mean they had to stop saying seventy odd years since we had a british man blah de blah de blah
oh im so annoyed :grrr::grrr::grrr::grrr:

[JennieF]

What a difference this match is compared with the Nole/Delpo stunner!

[KnightOwl]

On the plus side - the long five-setter earlier today caused Dave & I to misjudge food requirements - we have nothing left in the house - so at least the fact they've closed the roof means Dave can nip out for an emergency burger :)

[ljs]

unbelievable , guess what JJ wants he gets , couldnt they have gone another set with the roof open , its not even dark yet

[JennieF]

From the Wimbledon live blog


Maybe JJ was calling for roof to be closed early to speak to his coach.
Are they allowed to do that?

[sid]

Bad call to close the roof,i hope Andy can close this out,the court will be slower i think.

[Helen40]

What a joke.

They were harsh on Muzza last year too, put him on Court 1 one instead of Centre when it was raining. Even Mac said it was a crazy British thing to do not to help the home player.
I am going to be so gutted and angry if Muzza loses the match let alone the next set.

Somebody needs to sack the Wimby refs! They've played until past nine usually before now, and as Muzza said, it is an outdoor tournament.

[Manaus]

Went to get something to eat but was watching on TV. Great fightback from him in that last set. :thumbup: Really hope Andy comes out focused, nothing he can do about the roof.

[KnightOwl]

Are they allowed to do that?

Well they can certainly talk to their coaches if there's an interruption in play eg for rain, so I'm sure they can now, too...

[Mandiemoo]

Emergency Burger? I am on the murraykins diet again, can't eat a ruddy thing, had lunch at 1pm but even turned down party ring biscuits with my cuppa earlier!

[WimbledonAce]

Not liking JJ at all, smug and arrogant. Also,typical British being politically correct-what is wrong with us? Poor Andy. Just hope this doesn't affect him badly and he can wrap it up. Reminding me or the Tim v Goran semi :sofa:

[ljs]

hopefully this **** of a decision will fire Andy up and he'll get this next set and match over

[JAMES4578]

Whilst its objectionable as there seems enough light for another set I'm sure Andy can deal with it, he must keep his focus and not be distracted.

[clancy]

I agree, another adjective for him is insolent.

[RoastLamb]

Let's not forget that thriller with Stan the Man in 2009 under the roof. Andy can do it!!! And JJ has never played under these particular conditions before whereas Andy has a few times.

[ljs]

Hope your right RL , so want Andy to get this one !!!!!!

[traveller7]

I dont think (hope) that it wont affect Andy he has played before lets destroy this man and get to the final!

[Mandiemoo]

Crowd will play a part in this so lets hope they make some noise!

[RoastLamb]

Hope your right RL , so want Andy to get this one !!!!!!

You want to come round to mine if he does? For the final, I mean.

[supergran]

Have been so angry, had to walk around the garden. I think Wimbledon officials have behaved disgracefully. It is still daylight, this is supposed to be an outdoor tournament and they have bowed to the pressure exerted by JJ and refused to listen to Andy. I am so mad. Just hope Andy blows him away now and the crowd raise the ****** roof.

[cazza99]

The sun is still shining here, but we have to remember that the further south you go at this time of year the earlier it gets dark.

Andrew Castle doesn't know about bad light... he has only ever presented Daybreak!

[pabbers]

Andy needs to be professional now and focus on the next set, not the closing of the roof. Let's hope Jerzy's wish turns out to be his downfall.

[Helen40]

Right, back to the match, only hope we're celebrating next time we're back here!

[Hawkeye]

Ok Andy, show this Pole that you'll reach your goal.

[Sallydaisy]

Andy needs to be professional now and focus on the next set, not the closing of the roof. Let's hope Jerzy's wish turns out to be his downfall.
Too right - I hope Andy blows him off the court.

[Manaus]

Getting nervous again. :sofa:

[traveller7]

1 more set and he is in the final. You can do this Andy!

[supergran]

Jeez, Bouncy is making me want to heave. He supported the decision and Mac disagreed with him. He's like the Vicar of Bray. Hate him.

[Mandiemoo]

Judy looks nervy, poor woman

[hfwardhouse]

OK here we go - all aboard ready for the fourth round of this Murraycoaster. Fasten your seatbelts.

COME ON ANDY!!!!

[Sallydaisy]

JJ likes playing indoors; i.e. he won the Paris Masters.

But this isn't like playing indoors on hard courts.

[Mandiemoo]

Muzz with his business face on

Lets get to it!

Tweet from British comedian @davidschneider


20:52"With this roof-shutting nonsense Janowicz has completely screwed up the planned parachute jump with James Bond and the Queen"

[hfwardhouse]

Fabulous shot from Andy!!!

[JennieF]

Andy getting the measure of JJ's nasty sneaky little drop shots!

[cazza99]

The crowd will be noisier under the roof, so I hope they get roaring.

[KnightOwl]

Andy getting the measure of JJ's nasty sneaky little drop shots!

You sound like Gollum :pirate:

Nasssty sneaky little hobbitsses...!

[traveller7]

No break but that's ok
Hold and break now

[Manaus]

Jerzy holds, please focus and hold easily Andy.

[Mandiemoo]

Jerzy has rolled the dice because Muzz was running away with it.

Tim is on the board or something so i hope he has strong words with the ref about this. But whats done is done.

C'mon the Muzz!

[traveller7]

I definitely dont like him sarcastic little twerp just immitating someone who called out come on andy

[JennieF]

Come on now Andy my precioussss!

[hfwardhouse]

Excellent hold!!! LET'S GO ANDY!!!

[Manaus]

Nice hold. :thumbup:
Now break him Andy, you can do it!

[Hawkeye]

Let's go Andy, let's go!

[JennieF]

Let's get into this unpleasant Pole's psyche now!

[Mandiemoo]

A love hold should show our young friend that it is going to take more than a roof to win easily.

[KnightOwl]

Woooohoooo!! :yahoo:

[JennieF]

Wow!! That's our man!!!!!!

[Manaus]

What a shot!

[JennieF]

You can do it Andy! This is turning into a circus!

[Mandiemoo]

I didnt think it would be possible to dislike a player as much as I do Federer...... Apparently it is.

[Sallydaisy]

*15-40

[Manaus]

BPs, take them Andy!

[JennieF]

Intelligence v hot-headedness

[JennieF]

I didnt think it would be possible to dislike a player as much as I do Federer...... Apparently it is.
Ha ha I'm with you there MM!

KITKAT - way to go Andy!!!

[Sallydaisy]

There's the break and he's really got his Gold Medal face on.
:big grin:

[Manaus]

There's the break! :cheer:
Very important hold now! :sofa:

[Mandiemoo]

Jerzy forgot the crowd would be more noisy with the roof closed....

[harriet]

KITKAT!!! andy to serve at 2-1, concentrate now

[Linda]

Vamos Andy! :swingin:

[traveller7]

Get in just as I said and now hold and break
Andys game face is on.

[KnightOwl]

Mentally, Andy is totally in charge right now - just hope he keeps it going...

I'm starting to quite enjoy this match ;)

[JAMES4578]

Andy breaks for 2-1 and will hopefully strongly consolidate for the rest of the set,come on!

[supergran]

Have been so angry, had to walk around the garden. I think Wimbledon officials have behaved disgracefully. It is still daylight, this is supposed to be an outdoor tournament and they have bowed to the pressure exerted by JJ and refused to listen to Andy. I am so mad. Just hope Andy blows him away now and the crowd raise the ****** roof. Just need to say that it was not a really bad word but was mad.:grrr::grrr::lol:

[JennieF]

Intelligence and experience v. Hotheadedness and arrogance

[Manaus]

What a service game! :cheer:

[KnightOwl]

What a hold! Andy's serving today has been phenomenal...!

[Sallydaisy]

Andy is going to prove that it only needed 25/30mins to finish the match ... that was his argument against them closing the roof.

[Mandiemoo]

Jerzy still hanging in there. Murray looks like he wants it more.

[JennieF]

Intelligence, experience and sophistication v hotheadness, arrogance and losing it

[Mandiemoo]

I can see some 'early Murray' in this guy and he sure has talent but his attitude needs some attention.

[KnightOwl]

Get innnn!

[Sallydaisy]

What a wonderful shot to level to deuce; so well planned and executed.

[Manaus]

Keep holding Andy, doing good so far. :thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Tee hee ... a joker on twitter:

Thats the face my brother used to have when my mum used to say 'home by 8pm, its a school night'

I must be slightly relaxed if i am recounting childhood tales lol!

[Manaus]

Need 2 games Andy, breaking now would be a great way of getting 1 of them.

[traveller7]

JJ has upped his service game

[Manaus]

4-3. Just need to keep holding. I'm still nervous despite how well Andy is playing.

[JennieF]

Don't let him in Andy. Keep playing clever and get under his skin.

Apparently Jarrett is trending on twitter,lol!

So good! Come onnnnnnn!

[KnightOwl]

One game away - c'mon Andy!!

[Manaus]

1 more game Andy! Either break or hold. I prefer the former. :)

[super8]

Kim said it before all you lot could type it. One more game indeed.

[Sallydaisy]

Just one more game needed for me to launch a rather predictable headline ...


Come on Muzzah!!!!!

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

[JennieF]

Has Andy crossed a huge threshold in learning how to deal with a wild cannon like JJ?

[super8]

Has Andy crossed a huge threshold in learning how to deal with a wild cannon like JJ?

He just figured out JJ's tactics and sorted him out.

That is all.

[JennieF]

When Andy wins I wonder if JJ will look him in the eye when they shake hands, the way that Radwanska didn't when she shook hands with Lisicki?

[Linda]

I take back what I said about the roof, as it's suddenly got a lot darker outside.

[Manaus]

MP! Get it Andy!

Andy wins in four sets - totally BRILLIANT - :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::boogie::boogie::boogie::clap ::clap::clap:

So so pleased for Andy! He came out on top with all those things chucked at him! What a star!

When Andy wins I wonder if JJ will look him in the eye when they shake hands, the way that Radwanska didn't when she shook hands with Lisicki?

It looked fairly gracious, to be honest...

So proud of you Andy and your godly returning.

I love Andy Murray! Brilliant!

Interview with Garry!!!

[sid]

Well done Andy wow you served great today,one more match C'mon.

[super8]

Well done Andy.

You should have won and you did. :)

No illusions. You might have all fretted about a dangerous opponent, but if you'd been offered him as a semi final opponent at the beginning of the tournament, you would have taken it with both hands.

This match was on Andy's racquet. He just had to play well and he would win.

And thankfully he did.

[harriet]

oh my! what a game - andy served so well, kept his cool, broke JJ at the end, tremendous, hope he plays this well on sunday
