Seppi got married last month after the US Open and has played one match since, losing to Marchenko in the first round of Metz.

There's the break! No Ivan in the box from what I can see, probably he will come for the masters.

4-2 Muzz

C'mon Muzz!

A very easy game for Andy.

Bardot

Big ACE to hold. 5-2

Andy breaks to take the set, he's enjoying the faster court. 6-2

Seppi used to be better than the way he's playing in this match. No wonder he's now ranked at number 94.

Had hip surgery at the end of the last year which they say is very difficult to come back from.

Bardot
04-10-2016, 08:57
That break came out of nowhere. 0-1

Stell
04-10-2016, 08:58
Where did that come from?

Stell
04-10-2016, 09:03
Seppi holds his serve, now 0 - 2.

Jan
04-10-2016, 09:03
eek I was just thinking it was safe to go out.......

Bardot
04-10-2016, 09:04
Good serving. 1-2

Stell
04-10-2016, 09:06
Much better from Andy. I hope he now breaks Seppi's serve.

Teresa
04-10-2016, 09:06
Why does he do this to us?

Takes the 5th BP. 2-2

4-3 - My guess is Andy will go all out to break Seppi in the next game. C'mon Andy!

Alis
04-10-2016, 09:31
Not that time. Just hold and break, Andy.

Seppi playing a bit too well for my liking

Andy wins 6 - 2, 7 - 5. Shame Seppi's serving let him down in the end, but he did play a lot better in the second set. Andy plays either Kravchuk or Kuznetsov in the second round.

Teresa
04-10-2016, 09:46
Excellent. Not in the mood for a stressful one today.

Tighter in the 2nd but always felt Andy had the upper hand even when Steppi upped his level, glad it was in straights-well done! Given a bit of help at the end mind you :cheer::cheer::clap:

It has rained all day in Beijing and there has been no play on the outside courts. This will almost certainly mean that Andy's next match won't be until Thursday as they play catch up tomorrow (weather permitting).

Missed most of that match but glad Andy managed to brush off most of the rustiness and finish it in straights. I've always liked Seppi but hadn't known that he had hip surgery so good to see him back.

Bardot

With this win, Andy passes another milestone. :thumbup:

People (including McEnroe) have said that this country won't know what it's got in Andy Murray until he hangs up his racquet. It's so true.

Am I the only one who doesn't care one jot how long he spends as number one? - I just want him to be introduced as a former World No 1 when he turns up at The Albert Hall for the Seniors Tour in years to come. A week will do me.

Jan

Tend to agree with you. It would be So So nice to see him get there but, remembering just what happened 2 years ago while Andy was chasing points after the start of the year hindered by his back op, I hate to see him chasing points. Just want him to play to his full potential and rest up when and if he needs to. He has really pushed it this year - and 30 looms. Of course it looms for Djoko too so who knows what can happen
