I heard Russell Fuller on radio five live, last night, talk about the draw. I liked Andy being called the 'one hip wonder'.

First set to Jamie/Neal 6-3, keep it going- lost 2nd 5-7.

23-06-2020, 14:13
Pity, Jamie/Neal came back from 5-1 down in match breaker but in the end lost it 11-9. Broady/Norrie take the first match, still well done to them.

Very tight first match - well done to Liam and Cam for stealing it. Bit of an upset but of course not normal conditions. Back luck J&N
Kyle and Wardy now - best of luck both.

Hello again everyone!
Guess whose back on live pause.....!!!
Liam breaks Andy's serve, but Andy breaks back to make it 3 - 2.

Enjoying it, Andy using his experience here.
C'mon Muzz!
The umpire warns Liam about his language, as Andy makes it 3 - 1.
Andy scraps out a hold for 4-2, and is now in with a sniff at 0-30...
0-40... 3 virtual match points.
But (eventually) Andy breaks and will serve for the match.
Game set and match Murray, 6-2 6-2!
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: Andy wins 6 - 2, 6 - 2. Very well done!!
Loved the interview, especially when he was asked about his hip.
Brilliant to watch the Main Man again...win or lose he's a joy to watch!..Well Done Andy..Welcome Back!!:thumbup:

Still going with serve, 1 - 2.
JAMES4578
24-06-2020, 17:20
Fairly straighrtforward for Ward against Broady earlier,Norrie came from back from losing first 6-3 to win breaker over Peniston. Andy starting fairly well up 2-1, let's go!
Kyle's coach tells him that he and Andy are both very good players, as Kyle makes it 4 - 4.
Still with serve 5-4 ...... c'mon Andy! How nice is it to be able to say that?

What’s happening ? I amin panic...don’t tell me Andy is injured ??
No .... just a very even first set .... they are now into a tiebreak.
Yay ...... Andy takes the breaker 7-2. Well done, Andy!!
Great breaker fron Andy! 7-2.
Well done. First set to the right man 7:6 (7:2). Reward for giving the dog a piece of my steak.....!!!
Andy wins first set in a tb :dance:
"Lazy, lazy" says Andy to himself as he makes it 1 - 1.

Some good tennis from both, however Andy far stronger in breaker as he put Kyle under pressure, can hopefully kep it going as 2nd progresses.

Kyle has got a devastating forehand when he hits it square on!
I noticed that at the start, Mandlemoo. I think Kyle's coach has also only got the one glove on.
2 chances to break straight back...
"Well done" says Delgado to Andy as Andy levels the match at 4 - 4.

The umpire asked for the noise to be kept down. What noise?!!
Probably Andy! Impressive cat impressions today
C'mon Muzz!
Andy with a break point... Saved.
Tie break? I did hear a clanging noise, which made Kyle do the double fault.
I am knackered. I really am out of practice for this. Never mind the players. So tie break or tie break and champions tie break.
Second set tie break. Let's hope for a repeat of the first set tie break!
I think this match deserves two tie breaks.
As long as that's all we get, I agree!
A lucky net cord and Kyle leads 3-2*.
An unlucky net cord gives Kyle a mini break *4-3.
Andy gets it back, but Kyle gets another and has two set points, one is saved...
One set all. Match tie break.
Just said a very rude word.
Early mini break for Kyle.
Errors coming from Andy now, *5-1.
Mandiemoo
24-06-2020, 19:41
That was close but Kyle rose his level as Andy's dipped toward the end. A good game, hope he can build on this.
C'mon Muzz!
A good match, but the right man won in the end. I think Andy might have been feeling a bit fatigued. Looking forward to Andy's match against Ward, as Ward said in his interview earlier that it'll be the metal hip vs the dodgy knee.
RosieBear
24-06-2020, 19:46
Well done Kyle :clap: A slightly weary Andy edged out of a tight match but I liked what I saw. Give it 8 weeks intense training and I give him a good a chance as anyone at the US and postponed French, where the whole field will be rusty. 18 months ago we were in bits about Andy retiring and here we are looking forward to him playing (and potentially winning!) two slams in the space of a month. And all it took was a metal hip and a global pandemic :big grin: Funny old world. I wonder what Mr Lendl is up to in September :whistle: Don't @ me, I can dream! :)
JAMES4578
24-06-2020, 20:13
Certainly a quality match, pity for Andy but he ahowed a lot of his skilll in the 1st two sets but looked fatigued towards the end, credit to Kyle for some impressibe shotmaking on the run and he showed was up to the challenge today,even if he had a few shaky moments.
Still positive and impressive for Andy but nonetheless a challenge in the months ahead (a bit of uncertainty for everyone though)
A really competitive match and just great to see Andy back on the court. A pity it wasn't a win for Andy but I hope he will be pleased with how he played for the majority of the match. Very entertaining .... well done to both players!
Dan has just beaten Cam so Andy v. Wardy on shortly.

Have been out. It’s a bit worrying he is struggling against James Ward, much as I like James. Equally he hasn’t played since November:-(

Andy did not come up with the idea of mid match interviews. He sounds as excited as you would imagine.
Never change Andy, never change!
C'mon Muzz!
Andy admitted that he was feeling tired at the end of his interview. I'm not surprised considering what he's been through.
He’s sounding very tired. Hope he’s not in pain.
**** James has broken him. Well done to James, but not what we want.
Andy gets frustrated as his serve is broken.
I’m half hoping James wins (sorry!) because Andy seems so tired and I’d hate him to injure himself or give his hip more trouble. He’s done well to get this far seeing how little tennis he’s played and he can’t really be up to top match fitness.
I hate to see him struggling like this.
No one can hold on to a break! Back on serve.
"Do the best you can" Delgado tells Andy, as Andy breaks back.
3 break points for our man!
Wardy holds, Andy now to serve to stay in the set.
This is gruelling to watch.
Mandiemoo
25-06-2020, 20:12
They've turned the sound up on Andy's bench. Hes not happy lol!
Andy romps to a love hold! 5-5.
Wow. When Andy gets cross with himself he serves 4 aces!
It’s good to see Wardy back playing quality tennis.
Andy breaks to 15 and will serve for the match!

RosieBear
25-06-2020, 20:22
That was a fun match. Wardy did himself very proud in his first encounter against Andy, but Andy too strong. Perfect.
Goodness me. A day off to recover tomorrow now Andy! Well done :clap:
Well done. Will enjoy watching that calmly tomorrow. Never mind AM needing a day off. We all do. I know tough matches are good for him, but my goodness they are tough for him and us.
goodness me, Andy is no fit! never seen him panting so much! certainly needs a day to recover. and so odd, no crowd, no noise, no atmosphere, sure thheir concentration must stray.
well, another day, another dollar! ice bath for Mr Murray, let's see you back on court on Saturday.
Has Kyle played Liam Broady yet? I can only see that a Kyle has played JAMES and Andy. What am I missing?
You are missing tomorrow's Round Robin matches.
Well Andy found a way to win, but I was impressed with Wardy.
Oh how I've missed live tennis!!
You are missing tomorrow's Round Robin matches.
So it’s possible that AM could top the group, if Liam beat Kyle? Very, very unlikely I admit, but wouldn’t that change the structure of the semis?
JAMES4578
25-06-2020, 21:19
Andy struggling at times but some marvellous points in the crucial moments, though so gruelling in several exchanges. Certainly James acquitted him self well but tightened up on some of the chances and could have put Murray under more pressure.
My link went down, just before the end of the match, so I had to rely on BBC radio five live sports extra. The commentator believed Kyle could play Paul Jubb in the semis. I've read Andy plays Dan tomorrow.
I think he plays Dan on Saturday- luckily he has a day off now.
JAMES4578
26-06-2020, 09:39
Jamie /Neal had a very tight 6-4,3-6,10-7 win over Evans/Glasspool fairly late last night - was enjoyable match! They have made it through to the semis to face Salisbury/O'Mara-well done!:clap::clap:

Evans/Glasspool through to final with 7-6,6-3 win over Edmund/Ward, Kyle/James lead 4-1 initially but Dan/Lloyd turned it right round. In the singles Kyle beat Broady in straights and Dan won in match breaker over Peniston ,whilst Cameron routed Paul Jubb 6-0, 6-2.
Jamie/Neal have an early break and up 4-2 on Salisbury/O'Mara, keep it going! Pegged back but Murray/Skupski take the 1st on breaker-come on!
Not so good in 2nd as Salisbury/O'Mara take it 6-2 , so into match breaker- let's step up!
Nip and tuck but Jamie/Neal into the final with a 10-8 mtb, well done!:cheer::cheer::clap::clap:

It’s been so great to see tennis again - and to see them playing so competitively!
I’ve loved it! And especially seeing Andy again. Very special.
I had hoped that Dan and Andy would be the second match on today. I've got to go out, but I'm hoping that I will get back in time to watch some of it.
Was never going to happen because Dan has doubles too.
OOP confirmed as Andy v. Dan, then Kyle v. Cam, then the doubles final, Jamie/Neil v. Dan/Lloyd. 1pm BST start.

This is a fantastic level of Tennis from both!
Andy's serve goes wonky, 3 df's, a long game, but a hold. Phew!
Evans 1 - 4 Murray
I love watching Dan play, but this is fantastic so far from Andy!
JAMES4578
27-06-2020, 12:56
Andy very much in the Zone, Dan may have had a few break points but misfiring somewhat now as Andy serves for set at 5-1.
Dan gets very frustrated as Andy wins the first set.
david1610
27-06-2020, 12:58
Wow! 6-1 to Andy. If his hip let him play 21 sets like that at a slam... Vintage Andy!
So far not as stressful as I was anticipating...!!! Needs a good start at the start of Set 2. Cant afford to let Evans back in.
First set 6-1 to Andy! Same again please, Andy!
JAMES4578
27-06-2020, 13:00
Other than a few doubles an almost perfect set from Andy and seeing him in a more aggessive mode today, Dan not coping too well right now. However Murray still needs to be on his guard.
Dan breaks Andy's serve in the second set to make it 2 - 0.
Rats that’s what I was worried about happening.

27-06-2020, 13:08
Bound to be a reaction. Hope Andy can get himself back in it quickly.

Bit of a reversal, Dan now up 3-0 in 2nd and doing good work in the forecourt- Andy not so strong. Hopefully can still make this set competitive though.
"Well done" says Delgado as Andy saves three break points to make it 4 - 2.
JAMES4578
27-06-2020, 13:28
Crucially Andy recovers from 0-40 to hold for 2-4, this set not over yet!
Come on Andy, you can do this. I've forgotten how stressful Andy's matches are!
JAMES4578
27-06-2020, 13:39
Andy again comes back from 0-40, Dan though will try and serve it out at 5-3. Come on Muzzah!
Dan wins the second set 6 - 3.

Will be in a grump now. Still would prefer him to lose to Dan than to Kyle.
Dan wins the tie break 10 - 8 and the match.
JAMES4578
27-06-2020, 14:01
What a pity,tight there-Andy with beter start in breaker but Dan gets the win 10-8 coming up with the winner to seal it. Still Andy should take a lot of encouagement from display this week, particuarly today moving forward. Hard lines for Andy, credit to Evans though. certainly disapointed but great to see Andy back and still enjoyed it.
Disappointed obviously. Personally I would have preferred him to lose to Kyle.l
:crying::crying::crying: at the result .... BUT what a JOY to see ANDY back on court!!! ... not a bad week!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Well done Dan :clap: Both played really well, Andy was fantastic in the first set but dropped off a bit, which is to take nothing away from Dan who is such a talent and so confident right now. Andy defo heading in the right direction but Dan having such a great last 6 months gave him the edge today. So lucky to have them both.

Exciting match breaker in 2nd semi, Norrie took first on breaker and was up 6-4 up in MTB but Kyle went for more in the crucial stages prevailing 10-8. Good match if not quite the quality overall of the Andy/Dan show.
RosieBear
27-06-2020, 16:45
Interesting comments from Martina N about Andy. Said he looks pain free but can see recovery on right side not what it used to be. Movement used to be such a big part of his game but now he'll have to rethink his style/strategy and go for bigger shots, more aggressive play. She adds that he's perfectly capable of making such an adaption. I agree with her. Fed restructured his game under Edberg very successfully. I look forward to seeing Andy doing the same - he's at his most exciting when being aggressive so looking forward to more of that.
JAMES4578
27-06-2020, 17:24
Jamie/Neal bagelled in 1st set, some very sharp play from Evans/Glasspool but a bit flat from Murray/Skupski, hopefully find an opening- come on!
Can someone please tell me what the commies mean by 'loading' when they are talking stats?
JAMES4578
27-06-2020, 17:36
Jamie/Neal stepping up and a few more errors from the opposition, got the momentum in the 2nd now at 3-0! Take 2nd 6-2 and into match breaker- keep it going! 6-4 Murray/Skupski!
JAMES4578
27-06-2020, 18:03
Jamie/Neal take the title 0-6,6-2,10-6, great comeback and some good quality doubles-entertaining in the climax. Well done guys!:swingin::swingin::clap::clap:

Well what a great day of tennis!
Couldn’t ask for more especially after the drought there’s been!
Great to see Andy really fired up - I think he will be after his number 1 spot - we might see some great rivalry!
Also great to see Jamie and his partner Neal win tooo.
It was great to read about Murray and Skupski's win, yesterday. I had hoped for a Murray double, Jamie winning the doubles and Andy winning the singles. It's just brilliant to have the tennis up and running again.

It has been a brilliant four days of tennis. It has been great to see some quality British Tennis players. Shame about Jay and Jack. I was looking forward to seeing Jack play as he is the only one I haven't watched yet. Ryan Peniston is another bright looking British hope.
Wardy is replacing Andy in the 3rd place play-off. This from the Beeb:
"Murray has pulled put of Sunday's third-place play-off with a shin problem, but will still be on court in a coaching capacity advising James Ward, who has stepped in to play Cameron Norrie at 13:00 BST."

Just seen that. I do worry, it seems to be one injury after another for him now. Without wishing to be a “negative Nellie” can anyone really see him managing the brutality of a Grandslam fortnight now?

Pity about Andy, but hopefully not too serious. Having not played an event for some time bound to be niggles, time to work on his fitness though I think slams will likely be a challenge.
First set to Cam in the 3/4 play-off.
It's great to hear Andy in Wardy's corner ...... really encouraging to James but congratulating both players on good play ...... very vocal!!
JAMES4578
28-06-2020, 13:25
Ward certainly finding better level in 2nd, Cameron now serving at 4-5- some good play from both!
Cam breaks in game 11 and will serve for the match.

A few breaks a piece in early stages but Evans stepped it up and more solid as he takes first set 6-3, also using greater variety to good effect.
Dan takes the first set 6 - 3 :dance:
Dan takes the title - 6-3, 6-2 ..... well done. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :trophy:

Kyle broke at start of 2nd but little impact afterwards, Dan pilling on the pressure and Edmund had tendency to overhit. Still great match from Dan with his skill on display.:clap::clap: Maybe not Kyle's best day but had some good wins this week. :cheer:

Certainly some great tennis throughout the week, well to done to Jamie who done great job as Tournament Director, Mary Greenham (Martina Navratilova's agent) and all those involved in some way. Tbh hoped for a bit more from final but Dan played very well, no match breakers today but we did have soime exciting ones!

Bad luck to Kyle. Congratulations Dan! A sweet win, I'm sure. Wonderful to see him fulfilling all that talent :bravo: And what a brilliant week for tennis fans - so lovely to have some light relief to offset the sad and mad stories that dominate the news these days. Can't wait for more - from all the Brits but especially Andy, every moment he's an active player, even between tournaments, feels like a miracle to be treasured. I certainly intend to, anyway!
Thoroughly enjoyed Dan v Andy. I was torn. But pleased for Dan.
What a fabulous week of tennis!! Well done to all the players and especially to Jamie :clap::clap:

Really enjoyed this event. Well done to Jamie and everybody involved in the organisation of it. So great to see Andy back on court and he got better with every match. That first set against Evo was smoking. Saw him rubbing one of his shins while he was in James' corner this afternoon, but hopefully it is only a niggle.
Aside from seeing Andy, what struck me the most was what high quality the tennis was and what a fantastic bunch of GB players we have now. Dan has taken himself to a whole new level , I'm so pleased to see him making the most of his undoubted talent. His fitness work is really paying off, with him showing great speed around the court. Well deserved win for him
Nice to have some live tennis to watch this week. It is going to be strange tomorrow without a live Wimby but looking forward to watching some classic matches

Who would have thought that Dan, after April 2017 having been given a 1 year ban for a failed test and eventually restarting with a ranking up to nearly 800, he would be ranked in the top 30 and be Britain's no.1. All credit to him
More Brit battles ahoy!

Brilliant news and great that the British women are also getting some matches. Big credit to Jamie for organising another event :thumbup:
Brilliant news about the BBC showing the British Tour between the 23rd and 26th of this month on their Red Button, website and app. Also, them showing the Tie-Break Tens next Friday between 5pm and 6pm (17.00pm and 18.00pm).
