Anyone know how to make the screen bigger on bet 365? Tried zooming but it won't budge

[Silverdee]

Pinch and expand works for me.

I managed it on the IPad by just tapping the small screen. It was a bit random, but seemed to work. Have you tried clicking on it on a laptop?

[lynne]

The Very Best of Luck Andy!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

Haven't got a laptop

[angiebabez]

Tried everything think it's because I'm on android

[Jane]

All the best of luck, Andy:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[Jane]

Warming up

[Teresa]

AM holds to 30

[Teresa]

Goffin holds to love
AM holds to 30

2:1 AM

(Is it me or does Goffin look nervous?)

[Hawkeye]

Andy breaks!

[Teresa]

AM breaks. Can he hold?

Yes he can to 15

4:1 AM

[Jane]

4 - 1

[Jan]

Just home. Gosh I wasn't expecting to see Andy ahead!

[mickeypops]

I found a live steam at jokerlivestream.com, (Chrome, with Adblock). It was a bit fiddly but I got there......

[mickeypops]

Andy serving for the set at 5-3

[Jane]

First set to Andy - 6 - 3 :dance::dance:

[lynne]

Keep it going Andy!!!!!

[mickeypops]

Andy takes the first, 6-3. Goffin making too many UEs.

[Pam]

Great stuff Andy A super set of tennis

Keep going for it!! :boogie:

[RosieBear]

Brilliant. Andy must be playing well. Andy and David both so good to watch, just wish I could see it :sad:

[Jan]

Wow! Go Andy!!!
Yes, wish I could see it too!

[mickeypops]

Andy breaks early in the 2nd! 1-0

[Teresa]

Well done. Very impressive so far. Keep it up lad. We need the ranking points. A good hold:-)

[mickeypops]

Andy fends off a BP to hold for 2-0

[Jan]

Wow again!
Is Andy playing really well, or is Daveed a bit off today?

[mickeypops]

Wow! That’s a double break for 3-0. Looking good!

[Teresa]

AM breaks again. 3:0. Why do I think Goffin is remembering Ghent?

[Jane]

3- 0 Andy to serve next

[Pam]

Great stuff Andy

Stay focused! :boogie:

[mickeypops]

Wow again!
Is Andy playing really well, or is Daveed a bit off today?

Both! Andy’s accurate rallying is leading DG into unforced errors. Brilliant tactics.

[Teresa]

Wow again!
Is Andy playing really well, or is Daveed a bit off today?


I think it’s a combination of both. AM has already had a match, Goffin hasn’t. He looked very nervous at the start. Don’t mess it up now our top man.

[jaysee]

Andy winning 55% of David's service points! :shocked:

[clancy]

Loving it! Will give him some much needed confidence!

[Teresa]

Rats Goffin gets one break back.

[mickeypops]

A loose game hands back one of the breaks. 3-1 now.

[mickeypops]

Another break in this topsy turvy set restores the double break for Andy, 4-1.

[Jane]

4 - 1

[Jan]

But another break!
Come on!

[Teresa]

AM behaves like the bullying kid in the playground, and snatches the break straight back...... 4:1

[mickeypops]

This is the slowest Hawkeye system ever. Andy just challenged an put call for his service, and he was right by a hair. Ace!

[Teresa]

Good hold for 5:1

[mickeypops]

Andy holds to deuce, leaving him on the brink of victory at 5-1

[Teresa]

5:2. AM has two chances to serve it out. Come on lad.

[mickeypops]

Goff holds for 5-2. Andy to serve for a place in the quarters.......

[mickeypops]

Andy’s serving is excellent. 10 aces so far.

[Teresa]

Break point - not good for my nerves

[Teresa]

Rats and triple Rats he’s been broken:-(

[mickeypops]

Goff breaks, drat! 5-3

[Jan]

Eek. But's that why an insurance break is so important.

[mickeypops]

Deuce! Come on Andy

[Jan]

Please hold, Andy.

[mickeypops]

DG holds after a couple of deuces. Andy to try once again to serve it out. Come on Andy!

[Teresa]

5:4 do I watch or do I hide in the garden? That is the question...

[mickeypops]

5:4 do I watch or do I hide in the garden? That is the question...

[mickeypops]

[Jan]

Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:cheer::cheer::cheer:

[mickeypops]

Fantastic, just like days of yore! Even some sofa time thrown in!

[sir coolerking]

Wow, wasn't expecting that. I wonder how many wins it would take over the next 10 days to make him reconsider the rest of the season?

[Teresa]

He’s only gone and done it. Taken out the World No 11 and top seed.

I can even feel for poor old Goffin. I don’t believe he ever believed he could win that.

[mickeypops]

That's the number one seed out. Is there any reason Andy can't win this tournament?

[lynne]

Great result...Well Done!!! :clap::clap:



Glad I joined Bet365 now after watching andy in there, great to see, didn't realise I had a magnifier on my laptop, great pics...no need to zoom:thumbup:

[Alis]

:dance::dance::dance: Fan-dabby-dozy!!!!

[jaysee]

Great result...Well Done!!! :clap::clap:

So much for tennisTV's excuse that the video wasn't good enough quality! :grrr:

[clancy]

Thank goodness for that! Just as the drama was unfolding, I got a message (on FB because of my deafness) to say a friend's husband had died (very much expected) this morning so I went from being super happy at Andy's play to being sad on 2 fronts in the space of about ten minutes. But Andy's win has obviously cheered me and Wilf is at peace after a stroke 8 weeks ago took so much from him. x

[jaysee]

That's the number one seed out. Is there any reason Andy can't win this tournament?
:cauldron: Wouldn't that be great!

[mickeypops]

Up to #259 in the live rankings.

[Teresa]

Up to #259 in the live rankings.

And jumps above Liam Broady to become the British No 6.......

[lynne]

So much for tennisTV's excuse that the video wasn't good enough quality! :grrr:


Very true, I nearly went for Tennis TV with having Prime, so glad I never now.

[suttontennis]

And jumps above Liam Broady to become the British No 6.......

Any higher and he might make the Davis Cup team...

[Jane]

Great result...Well Done!!! :clap::clap:

If you have an HDMI cable you could stream from the laptop to your tv - that's what I do

Very sorry about your friend.

[mickeypops]

Very sorry about your friend.

+1

[goldfish]

Excellent from Andy - very encouraging for him & us. Managed to watch most of it despite being in charge of a 1 year old.

Sorry to hear your news Clancy.

[lynne]

Thanks for that tip Jane, really appreciated!! :thumbup:

[karanga]

Well done Andy. :boogie: :bravo:

[HoopGirl]

Wow - wasn't expecting to see this result!
Awesome stuff Mr Murray!

Could his old game be starting to click back into place?

[karanga]

Sorry to read your news, Clancy. :grouphug: :grouphug:

[exislander]

Andy looking good and serving much better than his last match. Goffin may have been jet lagged but was steam-rollered by Andy for much of the time.

[Elizabeth]

I think Andy was moving and serving better today.

[JAMES4578]

Couldn't say I was expecting that but we all know Andy could have results like this, Maybe Goffin was a bit jaded but seems Andy was pretty impressive-well done!:clap::clap: Sorry to hear your sad news Clancy, take care!

[Rosalind]

highlights on youtube.

[pabbers]

WOW!!! Delighted even though I can't watch.

[RoastLamb]

Great job, Andy. And the better news is we can watch tomorrow! YAY!

[Alis]

Do we know who Andy plays next?

[Teresa]

Do we know who Andy plays next?

Verdasco around 12 tomorrow.

[Nessie]

Yes he will play Verdasco at 7pm - China time, I think. He finds him tricky!:sad::sad:

[exislander]

Do we know who Andy plays next?

Verdasco

[Alis]

Interesting!

[anor]

Just watched the highlights on Youtube. So impressed by Andy's improvement on Monday's match, adding accuracy on his shots to his better movement. Interesting rematch with Nando coming up which I'm sure Andy will relish. I also watched the highlights of Cam's match v Coric. He played mighty well too and his "c'mons" are positively Murrayesc.

[RosieBear]

Yes he will play Verdasco at 7pm - China time, I think. He finds him tricky!:sad::sad:

Andy leads their hh 13-3, so not too tricky ;) Will be interesting - Andy led but ran out of steam a few weeks ago in NY - will be good to see where his fitness is now. Good luck, Andy - hope normal service is resumed tomorrow with a W :cheer:

[Stell]

Good luck to Andy against his match against Verdasco.

[lovetennis]

Wow Andy looked to be moving so well and hitting the ball harder in the the highlights reel at least. He had that look in his eye that said "I'll show you all I can still beat a top player" :bravo:

[WimbledonWestie]

So pleased to see this score once pupils had left. Shame it's not televised tomorrow

[Jan]

Loved the highlights - some great shots!

[angiebabez]

So pleased to see this score once pupils had left. Shame it's not televised tomorrow

It's on tennistv

[WimbledonWestie]

Don't have that- got sky, Netflix and prime, not paying for any more when I'm mostly at work anyway.

[banskogirl]

Brill! So happy to get watching the end of this :knight: what a guy. Hope to get watching a little of this tomorrow. I take it Bet365 will be showing it?

[Silverdee]

Yes they are

[jagmad]

Apparently Eurosport might be showing it to.

[lynne]

Apparently Eurosport might be showing it to.

Yes, I had an e-mail from google alerts saying Eurosport were showing it from 1pm. Their listings haven't changed up to now, so it's a cas of fingers crossed.

[WimbledonWestie]

Oooo will set record just in case
