Too late almost even for me!!! And Denis' dubs match is on at the exact same time. Thank goodness for tennistv replay options.
A very difficult guess as to the start time. If all the other matches are short could be as early as 10, but could easily start after midnight if 2 are long.

Amazon prime have the match slotted in for 9.50pm(UK), but as you say Cazza depends on the length(time wise) of previous matches!

The 2 men's matches were completed in 3 1/2 hours. If both women's matches take 1 1/2 hour then it will be 10.30.

1-4 Feli broken twice. :(
Feli not serving as well as he can.
Hmmm. Things not going to plan. 1 - 5 down:sad:
Lost the first set 2 - 6 :crying:

Feli holds beginning of second set. Nick K. watching Andy again! What is the name of the player with him (I think it is a player). Bit out of touch!
Now come on Andy and Feli! :)

Another hold after break points. They lead 2-1 in the second. Seems hard work today. I think they just have to keep holding serve and hope for a bad service game on the other side of the net. C'mon Andy and Feli! :)

Funnily enough... Andy and Feli serving for set at 5-3! :) C'mon Andy and Feli!
Edit: second set. MTB! C'mon Andy and Feli!
Improving - they get the 2nd! Dreaded CTB.

Yes! MTB 10-7. Well done!
When Andy went deep in tournaments not every round was brilliant, of course, and I think that is one where after the first set I was not feeling that confident, but they managed to turn it around! Onwards and upwards!!!
Yesssssssss!!!!!!!
I think they just lose the first set to give Andy more practice :big grin:
Excellent- can go to sleep now. Will watch it properly tomorrow. Night all.
Brilliant - well done guys!!:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

Approx 8pm tomorrow night.
Murray/Lopez v Murray/Skupski.
:shades:
Anyone else think Nick might be watching because he has offered himself up as the next Doubles partner for a certain knight of The realm?
Oh yes! Once they get going, Andy and Feli are a great team. Another super win.:clap::clap: Delighted for them. I'm not so sure about sibling playing sibling though! Have never totally liked that! I love Jamie too and I hate the thought of one of them having to lose, though either way we will still have one of them in the next round.

I certainly think it is possible to not play very well, lose a service game in the first set, just hang on with your service games and then your opponents play a so-so service game in the business end of the set and, lo and behold, it is MTB time where the adrenaline of the second set win might get you over the line or at least level things out. ;)

There is another conspiracy theory I thought of! I only realised after this match what had happened to Nick in his match last night, where he lost and his behaviour incurred fines of over $100 0000!! The umpire was Fergus Murphy (anyone remember Andy's incredibly tetchy exchange with him a few years ago in - Monte Carlo? - there was a moment in Andy's game where I think Nick was talking really loudly and you saw Fergus counting to 10 (100?) and not saying anything. Fergus also seemed to be a bit tetchy towards at least one of the ball boys during the match.
I wonder if Nick went to see Andy and/or Fergus!
Nick definitely seems to have respect for Andy and is respectful to him in a way that IMHO is one more sign of how special Andy is, even when the rest of his world seems to be falling apart. If Andy was a few years older and coaching, he would be great for Nick.
I would really like their doubles partnership if Feli is not available. Nick has a great serve and perhaps that respect for Andy would not make him boil over in their matches. It would also give Andy the excuse to sit in on Nick's singles matches if Andy had the patience - as his doubles partner - and perhaps informally see how he likely being part of a tennis player's team! Practice for the future? ;)
Approx 8pm tomorrow night.
Murray/Lopez v Murray/Skupski.
:shades:On the OOP as not before 9.30 pm tonight.
Well this has put paid to my thoughts. He is not going to the U.S. Open at all.

whilst not the best of starts great fightback and gutsy win for Andy/Feli, match up with Jamie/Neal should be interesting! A bit surprised Andy will play no part in the Us Open after all, however perhaps it is best to get ready for singles.

Andy says it sucks; Jamie says it’s not a natural thing to do. But at about 8pm UK time tonight, the Murray brothers will face off in Cincinnati..
