Another stunning performance from Andy sees him into his 3rd Final in Asia in as many weeks.
Once again he'll face David Ferrer who he beat in the Semi-Final last week in Tokyo.
That win took their H2H (http://www.atpworldtour.com/Players/Head-To-Head.aspx?pId=MC10&oId=F401) to 4-3 in Andy's favour.
Earlier today the indomitable Spaniard took over 2hrs and 3 sets to win his Semi and get through to the Final tomorrow. Andy by comparison took under an hour to overwhelm Kei Nishikori and book his place.
It's to be hoped Andy still has plenty of stamina left to face Ferrer tomorrow and make it 3 wins in a row on the Autumn Asian swing.
Catch the match on Sunday 16th October - time 9.30am BST.

Hopefully he can extend his career h2h against Ferrer to 5-3.
A repeat of Tokyo would be briliant.
A fantastic run!!
Unfortunately the final will be starting just as I'm off to church, so no chance of watching.
Keep it up Andy - I hope to come home to see the W!!:cheer::cheer::cheer:

Hopefully Andy has enough energy left as David will make him rally and do lots more running!!!
David will certainly be more of a challenge than Nishi, but if the same Andy can turn up again (Please!!) then I think he should win.
I'll be at school. Can't take my mobile because they'll crush it infront of my eyes if they catch it. Good luck Muzz. I'll be cheering for you while enduring math. Two heartaches at a given time!

That's a bit harsh, isn't it? If they did that here they could probably sued for criminal damage.
Another one I won't be able to watch as I also will be in church during the match. :sad:
4:30 am for me , and since Im going to a wedding later , no way will I be getting up . Hopefully be able to watch a replay .
GO ANDY :jitterbug: :trophy:
I've managed to watch 2 this week, Stan on Thursday and Nishi today, missed Ebden due to being at work. Will be watching tomorrow yeah, great to watch Andy in this form :yahoo:
Hopefully Andy has enough energy left as David will make him rally and do lots more running!!!
Daveeeed has played nearly 4 hours more tennis than Andy this week, so lets hope even his batteries are starting to lose power!

15-10-2011, 16:28
Ever since Shanghai 2010 (a brilliant 7-5, 7-5 against Fed) and Andy has been - let's just say not the positive, focused player we've all been thrilled with the last few weeks - the family cry has been "Please can we have Shanghai Andy back!" Looks like we have... World Number 3 sounds great. Which is not to underestimate Ferrer, one of my favourite players, but Andy can do it!!

Andy actually beat Fed 6-3, 6-2 in the final last year, the 7-5, 7-5 win was in the Toronto final. Andy has been in tremendous form in the Asian swing, a joy to behold! I thought it would be tough playing three consecutive weeks but Andy could well prove me wrong, though of course some of his potential opponents fell by the wayside here. Andy should be ok psychically as the last matches haven't taken too long and whilst Ferrer can be tough Andy has a perfect record on hard courts. Doesn't mean it will be a similar scoreline as Tokyo but all being well Murray should still be a step ahead of David.
david1610
15-10-2011, 19:26
I think this all depends on how much both of them have left in the tank and if Andy continues to start well and keeps his focus. The key to a lot of his success in Asia has been maintaining focus in the first part of the second set and holding serve and breaking and essentially not allowing opponents to get back in the match. If he does this it could be a straight setter but if Ferrer plays at his best and Andy shows the signs of the three weeks, it could be a war of attrition, the kind of battle Ferrer thrives on, four hours more on court this week or not.
Quietly confident but without putting too many expectations on Andy as that would be unfair after the last three weeks.
PS Edit... oh and of course.... Andy knows full well this will take him to no. 3. Will he be ranked higher than Federer for the first time ever? Andy is a student and respects the history of the game and will know the significance of that and I just hope that does not mean his nerves might play a part.

15-10-2011, 19:37
I am sure Andy will be up for the win tomorrow, completely demolished Ferrer last week and could well do the same again. The feel good factor is very much in evidence.

15-10-2011, 20:07
Because Andy's match was over so quickly Sky showed replay of final last year. An absolute joy to watch for this fan!! I do hope he feels OK tomorrow because this could be THE match. We all know what a terrier David is. He seems to thrive on coming back from a set down. But Andy must feel confident so hope he does it in two. We Murray fans are having such a good time lately. Thanks Andy!!:thanks::party:
I really hope Andy will be able to show the form he showed in his match today. I didn't see it but it sounds as though he was really in the zone. It's been an amazing year of consistency so far for Andy - lets hope he can keep it going.
All the best Andy!!

Best of luck Andy! :swingin: Do not lose your concentration, serve well and everything will be ok.

Looks like we have... World Number 3 sounds great. Which is not to underestimate Ferrer, one of my favourite players, but Andy can do it!!
I thought Shanghai 2010 was 6-3, 6-2 against Fed.
Andy will be well up for it tomorrow - he didn't look the least bit tired today - just sharp and focussed - halleluiah!!!! :worship::worship::worship:
I think I'll pick Andy to win tomorrow!! -
due to the amazing form Andy is in + Andy will then be no.3 in the rankings + its a hard court tournament -
going as Ferrer wins against Andy on clay(which may change in the future) and Andy beats Ferrer on Hard courts!!
when Andy beat David Ferrer in Tokyo - I think that Andy 1st serve % was around 50% or so - and won 6-2, 6-3
if Andy serves anything like today's % of 66% - it could be a very good day for Andy
can't wait for tomorrows final - come on Andy!!
Love the thanks button
good Luck Andy! :cheer:
I'll try to watch the match, but I'm a little nervous here
Haven't been able to watch any of the matches this week so looking forward to watching this one. :) Best of luck Andy, the form you've shown for the last couple of weeks is fantastic. Long may it continue. :thumbup:
A more telling stat for the H2H between Andy and David Ferrer is that Andy leads 4-0 on hard courts (thanks to Sky TV's Marcus Buckland for pointing this one out). That's 100%, for all you percentage fans. ;)

They probably won't bother with showing any ceremonials/warm-ups so perhaps that's why it's a later start than 9.30?

The tennistv stream has started, I'm surprised there are no livestreams yet as most of them take that stream. For those who cannot see, Andy is all in black. I think they just said (while I was writing this) that Ferrer won the toss and chose to receive.
Edit - I must have misheard, Ferrer is serving first.

30-30 C'mon Andy.
Andy playing at top ten level today rather than lights out tennis. Just needs to step it up for five minutes to get the set.

Whew, first set 7-5. He's changing to the red shirt now.
Wahey! Andy takes the 1st set! Come on! Hope he can relax now a bit and fire on!

Good serving Andy. Well done.
Tough first set and time for the red shirt.......
Oh well, let's hope Andy keeps serving well and can up his game a bit more to establish clear water between him and Daveeeed.
Interesting stat btw from the tennistv commies..... apart from Rafa, it is four (or was it five) and a half years since a Spaniard has won a Master's - Robredo against Stephanek.
I've had to go to a Betfair stream, the others were proving unreliable.

Ferrer has basically gone to 30-0 on the last two service games and imploded.
Big game coming up of course....
Focus. Safe hold. C'mon Andy!

Here I am, had to deal with a poorly MiniMoo who is now asleep on the sofa like a little angel.
Anyhoo, first set in the bag, change to red & we're a break up already!
Sallydaisy

Kitkat!!!

Ferrer probably wasted a challenge on that last point ...
DF from Andy? Come on Muzzah!

A tighter set than envisaged from the early run of play but Andy took his chances when it mattered even though he was a bit tense at timesand will surely press home the advantage, come on! Breaks right at the start of the 2nd, looking good! Ferrer though more of a challenge than last week.
cmon andy dont give him hope
First break in the bag! Now hold Andy! No being broken back straight after!
