View Full Version : WIMBLEDON 2021 R1: Andy vs Basilashvili - Monday 6pm approx
Andy vs Basilashvili - 3rd on Centre on Monday.
The match before is only half way through the first set so I doubt Andy will be on before 6.00.

I feel emotional already!
Hope Andy comes off the court feeling happy with his performance whatever the result. C'mon Andy! :)

There probably reason but I not see it yet subtitles live TV or Wimbledon website. Why taking so long get next match started today? Noticed that centre and court 1 all day. Normally doesn’t take that long. So players not nearby or something cos of covid rules??
Day 1 and I'm fed up with McEnroe already !!
Players warming up. Best of luck, Andy :thumbup: :thumbup: :GBflag:

Andy stepping up at the righ time, had a few loose shots but more creative play putting Basilashvili under pressure. Keep it going!

Phew! That first service game after getting a set! Well done! C'mon Andy!
;):grass:So good to see him on the 41m x 22m patch of green that belongs to him!:love:

Can hardly believe this!! :swingin:

Had a crunch moment and then some inspired play, at 2 sets up looking pretty good! Basilashvili looking a bit ragged as he drops serve at start of 3rd.
He’s showing he still has the shots, the accuracy and getting under his opponent’s skin. But let’s hope his energy levels keep up.
It’s quite nostalgic to be several games behind on live pause……… Well done Mr M.

Struggling to get a first serve in but a big hold 2-0
He’s still full of panache! Such a master of the game.

Amazing second break to love, 3-0 with a DB

Can you imagine the joy that Andy must be feeling? C'mon Andy. Finish it off! :)
roytennisfan
28-06-2021, 19:10
5-2 Andy could do with getting first serves in
He seems to have lost his way a bit:-(

i am so sorry. Breaking a rule - it ain't over 'til it's over. Could not contain myself.
One. more. game. please. C'mon Andy!
JAMES4578
28-06-2021, 19:23
Definitely faltered, however hopefully Andy has good game here-come on!
exislander
28-06-2021, 19:29
Would it be an Andy match without this?
Where's the :sofa: ? I’m behind it.
JAMES4578
28-06-2021, 19:30
oh no, however hopefully Andy csn play with a bit less tension. Down 5-6 though.
I was feeling so happy half an hour ago. :crying:
roytennisfan
28-06-2021, 19:31
This looks all over like 2017 QF, physically and mentally
david1610
28-06-2021, 19:33
Try and hold and take it to a TB. I think Andy has to win this in straights. I just hope the body is not doing this. C'mon Andy!
Not sure he has got another set in him?
exislander
28-06-2021, 19:43
Aaaaargh!
JAMES4578
28-06-2021, 19:43
oh well 3rd to Basilashvili 7-5. Cannot quite believe this, certainly Andy looking a bit more weary but hopefully can reset.
Unbelievable. Excruciating. Hoping this short break gives him more energy for the 4th set.
exislander
28-06-2021, 19:47
Not sure it is any consolation but the next opponent is currently at 8 games all in the 5th set.

The break might be good for Andy. He is still very much in the lead, let's not forget. He also has a habit of seeing through these up and down matches eventually.
Another break for AM. 2:1 to AM.
Can he hold?
JAMES4578
28-06-2021, 20:19
Andy consolidates for 3-1 and the more solid player at the moment, come on!
He can sometimes be such a cool dude!
JAMES4578
28-06-2021, 20:42
Bit of a dicey moment but Amdy strong in holding for 5-3, would be better to try and break here though!
This time please Andy. Please.
:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: Thank goodness - my nerves are shot!! Well done, Andy!!
Oh my oh my oh my oh my. Our Andy. What do you do to us! Bravo Braveheart.
david1610
28-06-2021, 20:51
He did it! Phew! Well done Andy! :)
He’s so funny. Our man! Brilliant Andy. Love you!!
roytennisfan
28-06-2021, 20:53
Amazing, Andy recovered enough with the break and being indoors definitely helped. He had looked totally gone in the 3rd, so glad I was wrong
Thank goodness he didn’t have to serve it out, and that he and I have got a days rest. Well done Mr M

Wowsers. Watching our dear old Andy never gets any easier :rolling: Nervey blip in second half of 3rd due to lack of matches but great mental strength to regroup. Served and moved like a dream for the most part. 13 aces in first 2 sets :worship:. Amazing to have him back where he belongs. Happy Wimbledon everyone!

Hope Sally was there at the end
What a sportsman. What a good sport. I feel quite tearful.
Good to have you back, Andy.....I think:dance:
JAMES4578
28-06-2021, 20:59
Andy gets there in the end taking the 4th 6-3! Obviously would have been far better to win in three but after a bit of a mental collapse regrouped well and showed his fighting spirit. Overall the positives outweigh the negative, though it did make it more physically demanding. Anyway well done :cheer::cheer:

What a match that was, another Andy roller coaster. Welcome back Andy!!
Oh my! Wasn't that some match! Taking everything into consideration, that was one of the best opening days in a long while. Well done to our champ. :bravo::clap: I'm so euphoric, I almost feel like he's just won the whole tournament! Lovely to see Kim there too.

I don't think I can cope with many of those. Talk about a Murraycoaster. Phew, I was like a demented dervish. So proud and happy for him. It was tough after losing the 3rd set. Obviously the shower and number 1 helped. This is why we love Andy...fantastic recovery and win.
And now it’s Heather’s turn to keep us on that rollercoaster! Go Hev!

One minute was loving how easy it was, next I was aging 10 years and trying to remind myself how much I'd missed my weekly dose of Murraycoastering. We go again! Love it!
Andy's next opponent still unknown, Otte and Rinderknech suspended at 9-9 in the decider.

What a wonderful day at Wimbledon!!!
(and night)
It was a joy to watch Andy play and WIN!!!
So many heart-stopping moments but it was clear in the 4th set
that he'd worked out how to defuse Basil's serve and forehand.
The enforced break helped although we thought he might have
been cramping slightly near the end.
Never change Andy, I love your tennis just the way you play.
(Erm, maybe shortening points might help)
Having a large Pimms - it's Wimbledon!!!!!
:cheers:
P. S. now I can change my Location.
:thumbup:
I've never felt so nervous about an Andy match, or maybe I have!!!!! The 5-0 up put me in a false sense of victory, and I got very worried as the lead slipped away. Sure have missed you Andy. Welcome back to you & the rollercoaster. Phew!!!!!

It was the look on Kim's face when he said that...priceless!

Wow wow wow. Saw the match sat on the hill with Caro & Gill. Felt a bit bad abandoning Iga on no.1 but sorry Iga, it's Andy and no way was I going to miss it.
It was ecstasy, agony and ecstasy again. Freezing at the end but who cares, it was Andy at Wimbledon, on Centre Court, winning again. What a man
Though he'd played hardly any matches, this year, I still had Andy winning the match in straight sets. I always admire his sense of humour, as no other tennis player would say that in front of a large crowd and in front of the TV camera. I noticed Kim cringing with embarrassment, when he said it.

It truly was wonderful to be put through the wringer again!
this match felt different to some earlier in the year - Andy seems more confident and despite the wobble he seemed to be working it all out.
He seems so happy to have the crowd behind him too.
I love how positive he is about playing - if he had a run of matches who knows what might happen.

I watched until 2 sets up 4-0. Then had to record while I taught a lesson. Quick and easy from there on right? I'll watch the last few minutes after. :coaster::coaster::coaster: I think he does it to give the spectators value for money.

Phew well that was one way to get more tennis in! What a match, off course I was watching AFTER the football so I was too exhausted at 1am to come on :lol: it really did feel like Andy is back and although the first two sets were amazing and calm, the rest felt like the good old days :coaster: Oh Andy I am so glad to be your fan, you delight every time! I loved how positive he was at the end! And his tweet was pretty positive too .... R1 with a tick !!!!
Maybe the media being negative, no surprise there, is having the opposite affect, Andy seemed a bit annoyed at them :cheer:
Cannot wait for the next match and school is out so there'll be :wino:
Oh and glad you had a great time, everyone who was there!
