Friday 28th October - time for another shoot out!!!
;)
I think it'll be another three setter with Andy winning it.
My money is on 2 for Mr M. Giles S at least has the experience of beating Mr M. John Isner has played him 6 times and lost 6 times.
Andy 4th on Centre Court not before 7pm (6pm UK):thumbup:
The Very Best of Luck Andy!!!:thumbup::thumbup:
Very best of luck Andy!!! :yahoo:
Whatever happens, with the way Isner serves, this is at least likely to be a shorter match! Not all the deuces we had yesterday. If Andy's serve is off :facepalm: - he can't afford to be careless.
Andy could play on consecutive days, Simon, Isner, Ferrer & Karlovic. :ill: Not all symmetry is easy on the eye. ;)
All the very best of luck, Andy :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

At least there won't be the long tiring rallies this time. Reckon Andy should get through and probably face Ferrer so he ll need some free points on his service against Isner to save his strength. But he will need his best service - he can't count on breaking Isner too often
Gone to a third set between Ferrer and Troicki.
Troicki winning 3 - 2.
I've just seen on the news about the Royal Clarence Hotel in Exeter. I know it well and such a very big shame.

Good luck Andy!
Troicki about to serve for the match.
Ferrer breaks Troicki's serve, now 5 - 5.
as much as I want this over with to get Andy on, I just cant bring my self to support someone as 'unprofessional' as triocki

Me neither - c'mon Daveed!!!
Ferrer about to serve for the match.
I think Troicki is serving to stay in it - maybe Ferrer will break.
Sorry, it's so exciting. Troicki serving to stay in the match.
Daveed two points away - c'monnnn!
Troicki double faults - deuce.
:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo: Well done Daveed!!! :dance::dance::dance: C'mon Andy!!
On his fourth match point, Ferrer finally wins.
Shouldn't you have all been posting on the main Vienna thread.......#justasking:)
Go Andy! :swingin: :swingin: :swingin:
I wouldn't think Andy's notes for playing Isner are very long. "Return serve and don't drop my serve". ;)
Shouldn't you have all been posting on the main Vienna thread.......#justasking:)always good information for folk working out how long its likely to be before andys match may start ;)

Going nicely Andy. Make some first serves and we'll have a nice relaxing evening
The Weiner must be tiny, sounds dead ;)
Andy's first first serve is an Ace, holds to love. 3-1
Is it me ordose umpire sound totally disinterested?

Seems to be going well with me following on livescores .... after watching the last 2 matches, maybe I should just record this one and watch later once it's finished?!
Slips but still earns a couple chancesBp
Cmon
Killing the 2nd serve. 4-1
Nice - an insurance break. Keep it going Andy.
Andy looking good! :thumbup:
The crowd seem to be taking it like it's a dead rubber DC tie. Hardly anyone clapping.
Andy's only dropped one point on his serve. 5-1
Still only one point against Andy's serve
Wow - 5-1 after 23 minutes!
The crowd seem to be taking it like it's a dead rubber DC tie. Hardly anyone clapping.
I think they're exhausted after the last match.

I should think that after the Troicki/Ferrer combat they're feeling exhausted! :laugh:

Doesn't get much cleaner than that, go Andy :GBflag::GBflag::GBflag:
Just two sets will do very nicely thank you Andy.
Please don't have a lapse of concentration, Andy. We could do without a murraycoaster tonight.
I suppose the court has really negates isners only weapon
Isner asking for the trainer at end of this game, blisters on his fingers apparently. 1-0
Nice easy hold - good stuff.
Straight forward hold

Andy making Isner look very inept, but he has some nasty sores on his racket hand.
No wonder Isner's not playing his usual standard - really bad blisters.

Just seen Andy take his shirt off twice! :faint:
Can't see this going the distance
Calling this match point ;)
McNet strikes again not that they're needed. 2-0
Pleeeease don't go walkabout Andy!
Andy wanting Isner to suffer by giving him a couple of free points. ;) 3-0
3-0
But credit to isners still going

I agree - he could have retired hurt.
If Isner wanted to give the match to Andy, why turn up? Surely, his hand is giving him a lot of pain.

Probably but he's still hitting the ball pretty hard.
Only Five aces 3 of which where in opening games

Andy not in the mood to drop his serve, great hold
Isner should play with a bandaged hand more often. ;) 4-2
Commies suggesting they should play with a glove like the golfers.

Shame for Isner that he couldn't play his best, but moot point really as can't get much more clinical than that performance by Andy :clap::clap::clap: Djokers is merely keeping the no 1 spot warm for our Andy :p
Amazing! :dance::dance::dance: Well played Andy.

Fantastic performance by Andy tonight.
Brilliant match from Andy, thank goodness! I thought Isner was going to burst into tears at one point out of frustration, not his blistered hand. Rest up, Andy as Daveed is awaiting you tomorrow. ;)

That was a much more relaxing Match. Andy totally dialled in to his plan. Better serving too. NIce way to spend Friday evening!
Cmon Muzz!
Surely Daveed must be at least a little bit tired after his exertions tonight.
Brilliant! Wee buns tonight! Match over in half the time it took last night. Different day and different match up. No seatbelt needed tonight...a nice smooth run. Wasn't Andy impressive tonight? I wonder will Daveed be as noisy tomorrow as he was today? I thought he was extra noisy earlier? At least Andy saved a bit of gas today. Come on Andy....let's go!! Great job tonight. :swingin: :bravo:
