I thought I had seen them play a number of years ago when Dustin first appeared on the scene wearing his beach shorts.

Brown is a bit of a banna skin , he's good on grass, unpredictable but when on form can trouble the best. Just got to look at his win over nadal at Wimbledon to illustrate this!

Josephine

They have played! Andy won fairly easily - I remember it.

US Open 2010 it says in the stats. Didn't realise it was that long ago!

Wouldn't be surprised if Andy takes a trip to Court 1 for this. Both Konta and Watson have attractive matches whilst Nadal/Young could be very competitive.

Hope you are right - I have No 1 court tickets for tomorrow..but I have a feeling they will put both Murray and Nadal on Centre.

Andy generally enjoys going up against players like this - it brings out the best in him as he relishes getting the better of a skilfull unpredictable opponent. Look how much he enjoyed that match against Nic Mahut a couple of years back - they were both totally involved and laughing at the end.
No - crossing fingers but not too worried about this one - if the hip is OK then Andy's tactical brain will win through.

(Bit worried about opponent no 3. Foggy was playing well- but thats another day !)

Hate too disappoint you, daisytoo, but Andy's on second on Centre Court tomorrow (after Konta). Though you will get to see Nishikori, Venus Williams and Halep.

Y'all need to watch VERY closely tomorrow because Dreddy produces incredible shots that are the dream of other players ... and he also misses far too much for the 'incredible' to be practical in winning a tennis match. I saw him play at the Boodles; he's entertaining and talented but not focussed enough to win against Andy unless Sir Muzz is having a very poor day at the office.

Dustin Brown's win/loss record at Wimbledon is 6/6 whereas at the other 3 slams combined he's won only 2 matches(2010 US, 2016 French), losing in the first round 9 times.

Am working so not watching; has Dreddy launched any 2nd serve Aces yet?

JAMES4578
05-07-2017, 16:28
Dreddy certainly has his moments but a few sloppy shots creeping in, Andy couldn't take advantage of the 15-40 though. Still seems to have the measure of Brown at this point.

Bardot
05-07-2017, 16:30
Ace, ace. 2-2

JAMES4578
05-07-2017, 16:31

Not certain yet as Fognini still playing though he is 2 sets up and 4-2, another easy hold for Andy.

Bardot

I'm counting his DF to be broken as an attempted 2nd serve ACE. ;)

Not the best game but Andy still finds a way to 5-1 and a seemingly straightforward win. Expected a bit more from Dreddy but Andy really has been in the zone much of the time, will certainly take it! Brown at least gets another game but Andy will surely serve it out!

There is only one word for this match....entertaining. I know that word has probably been overused already,but I'll guarantee it's the key word throughout this thread! And every time the cameras panned round the crowd, all you could see was loads of people with big broad smiles on their faces...clearly enjoying the match. To me that was an Andy sort of match...a match where he could relish the challenge and the variety. Such a pleasant change from the slog slog slog of some of his recent openers and great to see Andy so in command and comfortable. Look out Foggy! You won't have everything your own way on Friday! Been a great day today. I'm on a high! Well done Andy and thank you for giving us all this pleasure and enjoyment.:bravo::clap::clap::clap:

Wimbledon website updates


Some nice words by Dustin Brown on his second appearance on Centre Court



"Growing up, you always dream to play out there. Would be nice if we're playing every match out there. It's very comfortable. Even when things aren't going your way, it actually relaxed me a little bit to say this is where you always wanted to be. It's the second time. Some players never get to go on that court. This one was the one I always thought about when I was a kid. It was an honour to go out there and play against a great player again. That was really nice and calmed me down a little bit. That's why most of the time when he [Andy Murray] was hitting ridiculous shots, I just laughed and said, 'good job, let's see if he does it again.' Yeah, he did for three sets, so it was too good."

Can someone please explain to me what Dustin's first tweet means? I understand the first bit but the rest is a foreign language to me!

"2" means too. He has put symbols in replacement of a swearword.

Didn't come on here during the match - just didn't want to miss a single shot - what a match. Andy must have loved the chance to use his vast armoury of skills, lobs, droppers, passing shots, acute crosscourts - such entertaining tennis that we don't see too often.

OK his serve was below par, but if it had to be one day this was the best opportunity. Onwads to Foggy and the second week ;)

That's exactly how my brother and I described the match sitting courtside - Andy showing off all his shots. A joy to watch.
