I think it'll be another three setter with Andy winning it.

Teresa

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.

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.

Bardot
28-10-2016, 10:13
Andy could play on consecutive days, Simon, Isner, Ferrer & Karlovic. :ill: Not all symmetry is easy on the eye. ;)

Jane
28-10-2016, 15:16
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

Stell
28-10-2016, 17:02
Gone to a third set between Ferrer and Troicki.

Stell
28-10-2016, 17:34
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.

Ferrer breaks Troicki's serve, now 5 - 5.

Ferrer about to serve for the match.

Alis
28-10-2016, 18:05
I think Troicki is serving to stay in it - maybe Ferrer will break.

Stell
28-10-2016, 18:05
Sorry, it's so exciting. Troicki serving to stay in the match.

Alis
28-10-2016, 18:06
Daveed two points away - c'monnnn!

Alis

Troicki double faults - deuce.

I wouldn't think Andy's notes for playing Isner are very long. "Return serve and don't drop my serve". ;)

Andy's only dropped one point on his serve. 5-1

-J-
28-10-2016, 18:55
Still only one point against Andy's serve

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.

I agree - he could have retired hurt.

Stell
28-10-2016, 19:20
If Isner wanted to give the match to Andy, why turn up? Surely, his hand is giving him a lot of pain.

JennieF
28-10-2016, 19:21
6-1, 6-0 anyone?

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:
