Andy breaks and will serve for the first set.
Cam breaks back to 15 and will now serve to stay in the set.

Andy gets the mini-break back.
DF from Cam gives Andy a lead, *4-3. Swiftly followed by *5-3 and 6-3*, 3 set points!
All of which are saved...
Andy wins the first set :cheer::cheer:

Andy wins first set on a tie-break. Very close. Andy not playing quite as well as yesterday and seems troubled today. Lots of shouting at himself.

Argh, I have to go to work too!!!
Cam has just broken to take a 4-2 lead in the 2nd set ...
:sofa:
Now a break down.
It might be he is tired. He has still got to get used to the physical exertion, and mental concentration of playing back to back matches.

Cam has some great shots, especially cross court.
3rd set looms
6-2
C'mon Muzz!
Rats. Not sure he has the energy for a third:-(
Mandiemoo
02-10-2019, 07:07
3rd set it is. Got to get sorted for school run, hope Andy can get off to a good start.
C'mon Muzz!
Judy has disappeared - perhaps to watch Jamie
When I got up, I found Andy had won the first set and was losing the second one. A few minutes later, I found it had gone to a tie break!! Then, Cameron had won it.
Cameron's fourth double fault hands Andy the second game, after Andy wins the first game of the third set.
Mandiemoo
02-10-2019, 07:20
0-3 to Andy, keep rolling
C'mon Muzz!
Andy wins the third game as well.
Cameron's game has really gone to pieces, as Andy wins the fourth game as well.

Cam looked great in the TB, something gone wrong for him. A shame that 2 Brits had to meet here in 2nd round as Cam has a good game for this surface. Not over yet.
C'mon Muzz!
5:0 to Am. break again please, I have things to do this morning:-)
Crumbs what has happened to Cam?
Jamie and Neal take out the number one seeds (Cabal and Farah) 6-4, 6-2. Very well done, guys :cheer::cheer::cheer::GBflag::GBflag:
30:30. Come on AM I have a dog to walk.
Andy wins in three sets - very well done. :cheer::cheer::cheer::GBflag:
Andy wins the match 6 - 1. Nice to see him back and playing this well.
Andy looks nackered - no wonder!!
Phew!...Good win Andy, well done after all the grumbling lol! Another win with good folk at daft o'clock in the morning....Enjoy the rest of the day folks!!!......Sorry Cam!!!:thumbup::thumbup:.....mind Andy does look tired!
Excellent win. The last set was half an hour. Will be interesting to see how his body recovers from this.
My commiserations to Cam, any other day I would be rooting for him, but not today.
Almost certainly Theim next.
However first he lost in 2 sets. Then he lost in 3 sets, then he won, but lost in the next round because of fatigue. Now he has won two back to back. 3 might be too much at this stage, but he is heading in the right direction.

Great win for Andy:dance: shame it was against Cam who l like. Really hope he has enough left in the tank for his next match :thumbup:

Well done Andy! Sorry Cam, against anyone else I would have loved you to win.

Well that was impressive. I thought after losing the second set that he was too tired to get the win but what an impressive 3rd set! He needs to learn from this - shorten the points!
Interesting that he said in practice Cam was winning so that’s even more of an impressive win!

Fantastic match - good to see both playing such great tennis (well, Cam in first 2 sets). Andy building stamina and confidence with every match, it seems. Couldn't ask for more :thumbup:

Awesome result - every win is a bonus - don't expect it and makes it so much less stressful to follow !!!

Tougher than I expected but to his credit that Andy came through a long battle and was strong in the 3rd, even if Cameron less so. Great for Andy, well done!:clap::clap::clap: Still good that Norrie done himself justice and kept it close for a while.
I was very impressed with Cam's level today and even more impressed with Andy's win! It was a tough match and Andy's stamina was tested to the limit. Where he found that extra level in the third set to totally outclass Cam amazed me. It shouldn't have amazed me though, cos that's our Andy! Great to see him go a step further with every match. Now it's a QF in an ATP 500. That's beyond amazing. Love his own little Chinese Barmy Army. They're always there for him when he's in China. 'Let's go Andy, let's go!' :bravo: :superman:
And it was a Murray double today! Brilliant win for Jamie and Neal beating the #1 seeds! :clap::clap::clap:
Phew!...Good win Andy, well done after all the grumbling lol! Another win with good folk at daft o'clock in the morning....Enjoy the rest of the day folks!!!......Sorry Cam!!!:thumbup::thumbup:.....mind Andy does look tired!
I'm all over the place now! Way behind time, pretty tired and trying to catch up with everything else that's going on in the tennis world! But well worth it, eh!!

Fab! Had to leave at 5-5 second set. When I got to work he'd lost the tiebreak. Couldn't believe when I checked shortly after and saw how easily he took the third. Been such a treat to have breakfast with Andy the past 2 days.
Another good match for Andy. I'm not sure how he managed that 3rd set but that's our Andy. Cam played very well, a shame they had to meet each other this early.
Was up till the end, so 2 nights not going to bed before 3.30 & 3.45 means one very tired girl here, but I wouldn't miss it. Thankfully a night off tonight as we are traveling tomorrow.
