View Full Version : BEIJING 2106 - Semifinal: Andy fells Ferrer 6'2, 6'3 to reach the Final
Andy on the ferrer match
“Every match against him, he certainly makes you earn it. There’s not many short points against him. He’s a great returner, moves extremely well. He makes every match tough,” said Murray. “You always have to play very well to win against him. If you don’t, there’s a good chance you could lose the match.”
Murray has a 13-6 head to head record against Ferrer and won their last 6 matches
schedule shows andy/ferrer at 9.30 UK time, 4.30 in china, tea time, but raonic/dimitrov play at 2pm here, 9pm in china

Unfortunately won't be able to watch this unless I watch it on my phone when I arrive in Warwickshire or the final (that would be on my phone too). Hope Kyle does well in his qualifier tomorrow.
Won't see this as for some daft reason we are going to Stranraer.
Good luck for Semi Andy:thumbup::thumbup:

Very lucky that I can watch Beijing and Shanghai guilt-free - laid up for 6 weeks with a broken tarsal so enforced rest on the sofa. Now I just need Andy & Kyle to make it worthwhile.
Sorry to hear that, Goldfish - enjoy the tennis.
I'm going to the cinema, tomorrow, to see the Beatles documentary film. Luckily, it doesn't start until 1.30pm (13.30pm), so I'll be able to follow it (if it starts on time).

Aw you poor thing! I'm sure Andy, Jo and Kyle will oblige! And there's Shanghai next week. Take care.

Perfect Saturday morning.....washing done, feet up and Andy on the telly. C'mon Andy
It feels as if Andy serves first in every match he plays these days.
Andy's serving first, yet again.
well, apart from us chickens, there is almost no one watching
Spidercam better behave. 1-0
I am watching - well sort of. Doing my usual cowering act....!!!

Two sets or three.....this could be a long match. COME ON ANDY!
Judging by this game, this could be a long match. How many deuces is that now?

Chsncces of getting any housework done this morning rapidly diminishing! What a start!
7 deuces but no BPs & 18 minutes for 2 games, buckle up. 1-1
Finally Ferrer takes it. 17 minutes for 2 games!
After 17 minutes and 30 seconds, Ferrer makes it 1 - 1.
Not how you spell chances, WimbledonWestie.
Andy puts it long and first blood to Ferrer.

COME ON ANDY! Break back now. Supergramps has very conveniently gone to sleep.
i do wish the scores on the screen would wait for the umpire, and i wish i could see the service speed board
Brilliant break back to love. 2-2
That's so Andy - well done lad!
The last time Ferrer hit an ace against Andy was at last year's French Open!!

Great game from Andy to break back. We might still be here at tea-time though!
0-30 - c'mon Andy, how about some cheap points on serve?
That's better! Well held, Andy.
Serve not as consistent as previous matches but then Ferrer is a better returner, good hold. 3-2
Daveeds DFs assist Andy to the break. 4-2
I've got to out out soon. I'm still expecting Andy to win in straight sets.
Djokosmash from Daveed. 5-2

All going Andy's way since he broke back. Maybe I'll be able to shopping this afternoon afterall

My Kindle changes my words to something completely different half the time. It changed Djordje to Supreme! :shocked:

first set 6--2 for andy, a mere 50 mins
Andy wins the first set 6 - 2.
ACE & 100% first serves. 1-0
More of the same please Andy! I decided early on to watch the match and then shop so hopefully that will still happen ..... but remember in his match yesterday Ferrer roared back after losing the first set, so keep your focus Andy!
I now don't have to leave until noon, so I hope Andy wins before then.
Some UEs from Andy & Daveed stops the rot. 1-1

Despite going early break down strong first set from Andy but still can't count Ferrer out ,need to keep the focus-come on!

Some of the changes can definitely be hilarious. I once inadvertently sent a text to a friend saying I'd had a lovely smoked dick salad. And my phone loves to try changing Kygrios to Big Jugs.
Amazing defence in that game. 3-1
Andy marching into the final and, hopefully, another title.

Great rally.
Gut-busting rallies & Daveed breaks back. 3-2
Oh dear - that wasn't in the script.
ferrer breaks back, and andy's knee doesn't look too good

Oops .... just switched on to see the break back ... I'll switch it off again shortly as I've got to go out - hope Andy's ok.
Incredible retrieving from Ferrer. Deuce

Gosh, these rallies and such effort from both men.
C'mon Andy - two more service holds and you're home.

kitkat, andy serving at 4-2
I'm supposed to be leaving in three minutes time. But, have decided to hang on and hope he'll win it quickly.

Solid hold 5-2
andy looks exhausted, and very pale
Daveed holds from 0-30. 5-3
andy will have to serve it out, 5-3, new balls
Andy wins - 6-2, 6-3 - great stuff - well done :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

That's as gruelling a 6-2 6-3 match as you'll see. Well done Andy, first China Open final. :clap: :clap:
So much respect for Daveed who never gives up.

What a fantastic Saturday morning of tennis!
Now I need to get on with real life!!

Well done Andy, same again tomorrow
Great match, some lung-busting rallies but to my mind the outcome was never in doubt. Well done Andy!! :clap: :clap: Great morning of tennis and 2 finals to look forward to tomorrow, each with a Brit in them!! How cool is that!!
I went to answer the door at 3-2. By the time I came back he had won. Will have to watch the recording which is okay as my OH will want to as he had to go out

Some tough rallies but Andy also seemed to be pretty much in control and Ferrer couldn't pressurise Andy too much- a class performance! Not quite the match I anticipated but great to see Muzzah in this form!:clap::clap::clap:

Great match. Well done Andy, into the final!:GBflag::bravo::clap:
Excellent was cowering in the park with the dog as usual. Great for our man. Who do we want to win the next semi?
Just seen that raonic has withdrawn with injury
So it's Mr M v Dimitrov - although Murray's match was tough it was an hour and a half, so he should be good to go.
7:3 H2H to the right man.
Fantastic play from Murray, ferrer put up a good fight and it was great to see him in form again but for the 7th time in a row Murray as too strong for him. Some great shots and very entertaining match :) gutted for milos having to withdraw but the final will be Andy's regardless. Today was just a good work out in preparation :) lol.

The scoreline belies the competitiveness of the match - but Daveed just doesn't have the serve to catch Andy out. Great match, though, some fantastic shots

Does anyone know if we've ever had a British man and a British woman in the finals of a joint tournament before?

Don't know but if it has happened before they probably played in long trousers and long dresses. Saw a tweet from British Tennis that it will be the first time there has been a British man and woman in the top 10 since the rankings began :dance:
"That was the best I've played". :thumbup:

Steven says event above basic tour level or equivalent was probably 1934 Fred Perry and Dorothy Round at Wimbledon, there's a stat for you!!!
I missed this one but:bravo:Andy :cheer::cheer::clap::clap: and:trophy:Tomorrow. good luck. :thumbup::thumbup:
Humph.......grrrreat win and looked like a great match but without having checked I recorded Sky Sport's 1 where it's been all week only to discover they'd changed to Sky Sports 2 :grrr: Saw highlights on YouTube. Thankfully have checked tomorrow and it's on Sky Sports 5!!! Recording set as we have visitors. Hope weather ok in Beijing. Have set 5 hours recording time.
Isn't he wonderful! Wow Andy - win this and then it's all the way to #1 !! :trophy:
What time is the final? I'm away for the weekend so will probably miss it but on the plus side the cottage has sky sports package! :big grin:
