Some things do not change... the match before Andy's will nearly always go to a final set! ;)

Should be not long now, Serena up 5-2. Famous last words, now 6-5 to Rus!

Andy holds. Confident start though already one drop shot from Zverev.

24-08-2020, 20:49
C'mon Andy BP

lovetennis
24-08-2020, 20:50
And another BP. Let's get this one Andy

david1610
24-08-2020, 20:51
Andy breaks! 3-1 Sasha has his power but also his UEs. Some characteristic Andy play from time to time. :)

lovetennis
24-08-2020, 20:51
And he breaks for 3-1 :swingin:

JAMES4578
24-08-2020, 20:54
Strong start from Andy, putting Sacha under pressure thus far and some great shotmaking. Zverev misfiring somewhat .

Good evening all. All the waiting for the match to start increased the nerves but its going ok so far....

Cmon Muzz!

david1610
24-08-2020, 21:08
Trickiest and most competitive game of the match so far.... Sasha has two BPs but Andy manages to hold with a brilliant response to a drop shot. 5-2 but Sasha could be awakening. C'mon Andy! :)

Mandiemoo
24-08-2020, 21:08
Argh, Andy. 1st serve goes MIA. Returns when 2 bps down. Disappears but a cross court missile holds!!

2-5 Murray

Cmon Muzz!

lovetennis
24-08-2020, 21:08
What a shot cross court t take it to 5-2. Good hold saving 2 BPs

exislander
24-08-2020, 21:08
Vintage Andy!

Mandiemoo
24-08-2020, 21:14
Argh 0-30 when serving for it....

lovetennis
24-08-2020, 21:15
30-30 come onnnnn

david1610
24-08-2020, 21:18
First set to Andy but 0-30 again. Some well constructed points but also Sasha helping with his UEs. C'mon Andy! :)

lovetennis
24-08-2020, 21:18
First set to Andy 6-3 :clap: Keep the pressure on Andy

Mandiemoo
24-08-2020, 21:19
1st serve totally gone. Luckily for Andy, Sascha's forehand misfiring

1st set Andy!

Cmon Muzz!

JAMES4578
24-08-2020, 21:21
Fab as Andy takes first 6-3, some great quality! Sacha may will rue the missed break points earlier .

Mandiemoo
24-08-2020, 21:30
Really would love to see a few more 1st serves to settle my nerves. I've still got issues with the 2nd serve..... lol!

Cmon Muzz!

Alis
24-08-2020, 21:31
It's just so great to see Andy back on the court and moving well. :thumbup:

Mandiemoo
24-08-2020, 21:44
Zverev looking like he means business on Andys service game... 0-30

DF 0-40

david1610
24-08-2020, 21:48
3-3- Sasha was 0-40 up. Andy looked a bit tired. Found a couple of good first seves. Phew! That might be the key game. C'mon Andy! :)

Mandiemoo
24-08-2020, 21:49
Somehow, Andy fights back (with a little help from Sascha) & holds from 0-40 down

Cmon Muzz!

And the winner of this plays Raonic

david1610

Andy broken... 3-5. Was hoping he could hang on to a tiebreak. Oh well, kitkat please. Come on Andy! :)

Mandiemoo
24-08-2020, 21:58
Service problem for Andy, bp to Sascha.

Uh-oh Sascha to serve for it....

Murraycoaster time

Cmon Muzz!

JennieF
24-08-2020, 21:58
Err, Dan went out to Raonic earlier today
:facepalm: oh no! I missed that one. Gutted for Dan - love watching him play. So C’mon Andy - keeping the Brit flag flying yet again!! :GBflag:

Teresa

Rats. Not sure I can manage another set.

JennieF
24-08-2020, 22:00
On to the third.

Mandiemoo
24-08-2020, 22:01
Well, it wasn't going to be easy, was it?

Time to buckle up people, here we go!

Cmon Muzz!

david1610
24-08-2020, 22:01
One set all. Andy hit a few wayward shots towards the end of that set... hopefully nothing to do with the hip and a bit of tiredness.
Serves first in the final set so if he can keep holding and wait for an off game from Sasha. C'mon Andy! :)

lovetennis
24-08-2020, 22:01
Just a shame the serve went AWOL mid-set. Need to find it again for the 3rd Andy

JAMES4578
24-08-2020, 22:06
A pity but not total surprise, Zverev having recovered in a crunch moment was getting a bit stronger and Andy's serve not functioing quite so well at the moment. Hopefully Andy regroups in early stages of decider.

david1610
24-08-2020, 22:07
Andy holds. Sasha's UEs returned - lowering his concentration after getting the set or a change in momentum? We will see... come on Andy! :)

david1610
24-08-2020, 22:16
Andy holds after playing catchup during the game, to lead 2-1. Lots of "come ons" from him after that. C'mon Andy! :)

clancy
24-08-2020, 22:17
Win or lose. he is amazing! x

JAMES4578
24-08-2020, 22:20
Tough game but Andy certainly motivated, now would be good time for a breakthrough but need to see how Sacha responds, come on! Zverev found wanting and Andy connects on return for 3-1 lead!

JennieF
24-08-2020, 22:21
Win or lose. he is amazing! x
Our man still has it! The skill, the shots, the get-out-of-trouble focus. Hope he can keep up his stamina.

david1610
24-08-2020, 22:21
ANdy breaks! C'mon Andy! :)

lovetennis
24-08-2020, 22:22
Yasssss what a return to take the break 3-1

JennieF
24-08-2020, 22:22
Yes! Break! C’mon Andeeee!

david1610
24-08-2020, 22:28
Andy holds with a mishit and apologises. 4-1! C'mon Andy!

lovetennis
24-08-2020, 22:28
Edging closer 4-1

Mandiemoo
24-08-2020, 22:30
The lack of 1st serve is making life much harder than it needs to be..... yet he holds

:nailbiter:

Cmon Muzz!

Teresa
24-08-2020, 22:30
I am out of practice for this. Can he do it?

JAMES4578
24-08-2020, 22:30
Andy not having it all his way there , maybe some fortune but keeps Sacha at Bay for 4-1- come on!

david1610
24-08-2020, 22:36
Andy broken to love. Thanks to serving first, still leads 4-3. Break hold would be wonderful. C'mon Andy! :)

lovetennis
24-08-2020, 22:36
Argghhh Sasch breaks back 4-3

Teresa
24-08-2020, 22:38
Oh dear. ��

JAMES4578
24-08-2020, 22:39
Not great game there and back on serve, Andy needs to focus and still chance here-come on!

david1610
24-08-2020, 22:40
OMG that deserved a crowd. 0-30 to Andy!

JAMES4578
24-08-2020, 22:42
Sacha finds a way to recover though after that great shot, 4 all!

Mandiemoo
24-08-2020, 22:44
Woefully out of practice dealing with the stress & strain of a Murraycoaster.

Cmon Muzz!

Teresa
24-08-2020, 22:45
It looks like he has run out of puff.

Mandiemoo
24-08-2020, 22:47
The serve has been very up & down for this match. I feel like this match has been going on for days...

Teresa
24-08-2020, 22:48
Broken again, but very, very encouraging, even if it’s not to be today.

david1610
24-08-2020, 22:48
From 4-3 and 30-0 with two points away from 5-3, Sasha to serve for match at 5-4. Yes, I think Andy's either run out of puff or the hip is troubling him so he is making too many UEs. Oh well! He still has to serve it out. C'mon Andy! :)

lovetennis
24-08-2020, 22:48
Arghhh Sascha breaks for 5-4. Bit of mental tiredness from Andy in making those UEs?

JAMES4578
24-08-2020, 22:50
A few sloppy errors and Zverev has chance to serve for it. Perhaps match fitness against top players not quite quite there yet, still some great shotmaking regardless.

Teresa
24-08-2020, 22:52
5:5 - He has not given up. Can he hold now?

lovetennis
24-08-2020, 22:53
Thanks for the gift Sascha!

JAMES4578
24-08-2020, 22:54
Great as Andy breaks back, however a few gifts (3 doubles) from Sacha!

lovetennis
24-08-2020, 22:54
Come onnnn Andy. You can do this

Teresa
24-08-2020, 22:57
And he holds. At least a tie break.

david1610
24-08-2020, 22:57
I wish they were not turning round and could play one more game! Sasha lost any accuracy in those games - tired? something wrong?
Worst case for Andy is a TB but just keep the ball in play and hope he makes more UEs. C'mon Andy! :)

JAMES4578
24-08-2020, 22:58
Andy one game away and not too much resistance from Zverev there, would be better to avoid the breaker!

lovetennis
24-08-2020, 22:59
Sascha's got the yips

lovetennis
24-08-2020, 23:00

lovetennis
24-08-2020, 23:03
Great win, toughed it out when the serve went AWOL, capitalised on Sascha's UEs. How we've missed him and so wonderful to see him beat a top 10 player

patlowe
24-08-2020, 23:04
Phew! What a finish. That 3rd set was the old murraycoaster headlong in full flight! Well done champ!! Great win. Milos, be very afraid! :GBflag::clap::clap::clap:

RosieBear
24-08-2020, 23:04
Amazing! What a win! Okay helped out by poor Sasha's yips, but it doesn't take away from Andy's brilliance- when he had energy he was head and shoulders the better player. I'm over the moon. There's no question mark over his movement- panther-like corner to corner. The only question mark is recovery, and today bodes really well in that area given the first round exertions. A top 10 scalp, wow, pinching myself.

Mandiemoo
24-08-2020, 23:07
Andy wrote SET with a heart. Just realised that's his kids initials Sophia, Edie, Teddy.

I'm still in shock, he just won didn't he??

JAMES4578
24-08-2020, 23:08
Great win for Andy and in the circumstances great performance. Bit of a collapse from Sacha in the end though Murray had some gems, thought Andy may have lost the chance when he lost momentum from 4-2 to 4-5. However he kept pressure on and some Zverev frailty on display. So Raonic next!:cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer:

Teresa
24-08-2020, 23:14
How the heck did he pull that off? Lovely to see him playing again. Top man.

Watched the first set then went to bed, not for one minute thinking Andy would win. Brilliant.

Same here, then wakened at 2.00 and reached for the ipad and read through the posts, preparing for disappointment but overjoyed at the end. I'm going to have to retrain myself to go on the Murraycoaster again. Off to watch the replay now.

SET how clever!! Well spotted :thumbup:

Fantastic win! I thought Andy looked more energised from the start than he did against Tiafoe. I wonder if his recovery was everything and more than he had hoped. Fingers crossed that was the case and he can now begin to trust anew in his body as well as his tennis. There was some vintage Murray out there. Hope he remembers how to beat Raonic!

Rosalind
25-08-2020, 09:08
Just watched last set on catch up. Really enjoyable whoever the players were for the seesawing. Andy always a rollercoaster- we should be used to it by now but Zverev takes rollercoaster to a whole new level. Glad Andy got through but world no 7 should be better than that shambles. Andy did some fantastic shots especially that point before match point.

Well spotted indeed! :thumbup: I was wondering why on earth he would write BET but, of course, it was SET ...... I wonder if that will be his new camera signature? If so, fingers crossed he has a lot of practice in writing it! A brilliant night's viewing .... so exciting and yes, Mandimoo, he did win. :dance: Keep it going please Andy, I could get used to this!

A very appropriate acronym!
How wonderful to wake up this morning and then remember "Andy won last night".

clancy
25-08-2020, 18:13
I'm not used to late nights anymore but I was determined to stick with Andy's game last night and, like all of us, thrilled at the result. Not sure about tonight as I find Raonic's game pretty boring so hoping Andy's 1st serve is working better and he is able to get on top fairly quickly. x

25-08-2020, 18:16
How special was that? I thought it was all over when he was broken back so I went to bed.
Checked my phone this money to see my daughters texts that he’d only gone and done it!
Super brilliant. And what a treat to know we have another chance to see him again this week! Wow how long has it been since we’ve had that!
