Queen's Doubles semi Andy/Deli vs Kontinen/Peers, starting right now!

[Hawkeye]

Andy & Feli remain on court to wait for Kontinen & Peers.

[Naomi]

Glad they're getting on with it straight away! :)

[Sallydaisy]

I could have done with a bit more time for my pot of tea to brew!
:hmm:

[Mandiemoo]

This looks like a stern test...

Cmon Murpez!

[Teresa]

I am back to the live pause. My stress levels are shooting up already. It shouldn’t matter, but somehow it does.

[Mandiemoo]

3rd evening in a row, Andy on the grass, Sun shining. Lovely.

Cmon Murpez!

[clancy]

Why did I think they were playing Ram/Salisbury? Guess I'm missing a lot not having subtitles!

[patlowe]

Andy: "Let's go"!! Dont you just love it!

[lovetennis]

Great movement from Andy in this set. C'mom guys serve out the set :jitterbug::jitterbug::jitterbug:

[banskogirl]

I just love watching Andy playing doubles. I think he is much less hard on himself :knight:

:boogie: so happy :worship:

[patlowe]

Magic! Pure magic!:cheer:

[banskogirl]

Kim's wearing floaty tops again :whistle:

PS Does anyone think Kim might be pregnant again?

Andy's been at home a lot lately & that's all I'm saying....

[exislander]

0-3 in set 2!

[patlowe]

Only 1 break!

[Naomi]

Andy: "Let's go"!! Dont you just love it!

Yes! It's been too long since we heard that!

I really want them to finish (win) this match tonight...

[Jan]

Looking like a MTB to decide it.

[patlowe]

Poor Feli. Can't help thinkng he must be so tired...and hungry!

[Teresa]

Back on serve. Andy needs to hold.

[Jan]

Looking like a MTB to decide it.
Or maybe not!
Hope Feli will be able to move tomorrow.

[patlowe]

That's our Andy! Great volley.

[patlowe]

Shouting and annoying the neighbours time!

[exislander]

Break again!

[Jan]

Come on!!

[RoastLamb]

This is just bliss watching Andy play. Tennis. Again.

[banskogirl]

[Teresa]

Rats 1 set all.

[RoastLamb]

Ugh well that sucks esp. as all they had to do was serve it out after the break. Bummer.

[Sallydaisy]

Andy will be so cross with himself for losing those 2 serves, otherwise they could have been for some nosh! And a shower for Feli ...

[RoastLamb]

I sure hope Feli gets enough rest tonite. Yikes! :swingin:

[Naomi]

Woohoo! Doing it the long way!!

[patlowe]

Phew! Back on the murraycoaster tonight! Hats off to Feli. Great match. Can't believe they have made the FINAL! :swingin::jitterbug::dance:

[banskogirl]

:crying::swingin::knight:

speechless

[Jan]

Amazing!!!

[Rosalind]

who would have thought! We all needed this. :GBflag:

[Teresa]

Amazing. I am so pleased for him. I give them a good chance against Ram and Salisbury. Feliciano has played a lot, but about 4 hours in total.

It shows that if a return to singles doesn’t work out, then he could be a world class Doubles player - perhaps with Jamie.

[lynne]

Just a fantastic result for us & especially for Andy...a Final...who would of thought!! Feliciano deserves a medal for his play today, he must be shattered but a joy to see..BRAVO TO BOTH!!!:thumbup::thumbup:


PS Really hope Feliciano wins both he deserves it!!!:thumbup:

[jackie55]

Brilliant, great result, how lovely to have Andy back playing and looking so happy, fingers crossed that Feliciano can win the singles final in 2 sets and then have lots left in the tank for the doubles with Andy, think they are definitely in with a chance against Ram and Salisbury

[lovetennis]

At the beginning of the week I was just happy that Andy was playing, wasn't bothered about results, just wanting his body to react well and for him to get some match practice. How daft was I? It's Andy, he's a winner and now he's in the final. Brilliant performance from Feli today - gave it his all

[themass15]

Can't wait to go Queens tomorrow and hope Feli can do the double with Andy

[Teresa]

Mind you I am feeling a bit “guilty” - I suspect if it wasn’t Andy Feliciano would have pulled out of the Doubles. I think he knew he would get lynched if he did though.

[david1610]

So pleased for, well, both of them! Could not comment live as I was about ten minutes behind... Feli in his interview says he has not played two three matches in a row this year due to injury. What a difference the grass court makes for him! I was worried when they went into CTB as Feli was tiring a bit. Also very pleased the Singles Final is before the Doubles Final.
Good luck for both of them tomorrow! :)

[Naomi]

I managed to get a ticket for the final! So excited to see Murray at last!!

[clancy]

To be out of competitive tennis for a year and come back and make a final is amazing, but then we all know Andy is amazing! One of my neighbours has just said they knew Andy was back playing tennis by the shouts and cheers coming from my house! My dogs have been a little startled too! - they'd forgotten how noisy I get during his matches! x

[Genbrit]

How awesome is this!!!! Our Andy is back and in a final. Lopez is amazing. I hope he wins his singles tomorrow, and then they can both just enjoy & win the doubles.

Lopez deserves to win both and Andy, well I'm so so happy that he is playing well and enjoying himself. We are so, so lucky.

[Teresa]

Loved this tweet from Judy

I can’t remember, does Queen’s have a place to return tickets, if you are leaving, which are then sold for charity? I was wondering about a getting grounds admission & then trying to get a return?

[david1610]

Just checked... if we count the walkover over del Potro as a victory, if Feli wins both titles tomorrow, that will mean 9 victories this week, equalling his total previously for the whole of the year! (3 Singles, 6 Doubles).

[WimbledonWestie]

Yes they do, they were reminding folk regularly today on the big screens .

[WimbledonWestie]

Did not in a million years imagine this when we bought out tickets. Even when he announced he was playing I didn't dare to think I'd see him playing, only when the rain started delaying matches did I think I had a chance. Well, today was just awesome. And I'm back tomorrow. Can barely believe it. We need to leave at 6 to get our flights so here's hoping the singles final isn't a marathon
