Brisbane 2012, QF: Andy Bashes Baggy 6'2, 6'2

[xenon21]

Baghdatis overcame Kei Nishikori which leaves us in an interesting lineup for the quarters... Andy Murray vs his doubles partner Baghdatis

Andy has a 2-3 H2H (http://www.atpworldtour.com/Players/Head-To-Head.aspx?pId=MC10&oId=B837) record against Baggy but the last match between the 2 ended in a win for Andy in Tokyo in 3 sets
Rankings wise Baggy is ranked 44 in the world but could cause trouble (or could not)
Could be a toughie so Andy will have to be on the ball and ideally not lose the 1st set ;)

Come on Andy!!!!!

[AussieAndyFan]

We were actually hoping to go to Brisbane this year to see Andy. Which is a shame because it's been somewhat of a rollercoaster! His last set against Muller will give him some very good momentum going into the match. Should be good to watch!

[Linda]

I've missed his first two matches so I'll have to make sure I see this one!

[supergran]

Tried to reply to Xenon quoting her post. Was told my message was two short. Hardly think three sentences too short!!

[Hawkeye]

Did you make sure to type outside of the quote tags? They aren't counted in any reply.

[Aussie Andy]

Good luck, AussieAndyFan! What state do you live in, by the way?

[AussieAndyFan]

Good luck, AussieAndyFan! What state do you live in, by the way?
Victoria!

[Caro]

:confused: I thought you 2 Aussie Andys were the same person .... now I have seen 2 posts next to each other, I realise you're not!

Soooo .... AussieAndyfan, assuming from the photo, you are one of the guys who have been cheering Andy on at the AO the past couple of years, and have been posting on here for a couple of years too?

[AussieAndyFan]

Haha.

That's correct, joined up on the old forum about a year ago, yeah. :)

[supergran]

Haha.

That's correct, joined up on the old forum about a year ago, yeah. :)Now I remember you from old forum!! Handsome Aussie guy who always appears at the AO to make me smile!!:):)

[Caro]

Now I remember you from old forum!! Handsome Aussie guy who always appears at the AO to make me smile!!:):)

That's the one SG! As you will see from above, I thought the other Aussie Andy was him as well!! It's a real shame you will not be at the AO this year AAF, you guys will be missed ...

[AussieAndyFan]

Now I remember you from old forum!! Handsome Aussie guy who always appears at the AO to make me smile!!:):)
Appreciate it! :love:

Where did you get that from? The qualifiers start next Wednesday on the 11th & we will be there every day!

Great! You do realise that if the director this year is any good they will be looking out for you! You are famous within the tennis community. And.... do not underestimate the lift you will be giving Andy each time you stand up and roar him on in the Andy T-shirts!

Ah yes, Baggy - I have not seen the matches and probably will also be working on Friday so do not really know, but having been a long time fan of Andy and seeing the match score unfolding, he is likely to have his hands full again unless he starts off at the level he seems to have finished the previous two matches. Would love that to happen! Because just maybe Tomic is going to have a break out year like Andy and Nole did a few years ago and if Andy were to get through, he might need to be playing consistently near his best.
Whatever, it would be great to hear he played without showing any signs of injury or sluggishness.
All the best and go for it Andy!

[supergran]

:

You old flirt Maureen!! :laugh: He is rather good-looking, mind you.Less of the old!!!! I'll see you in Glasgow!:boogie:

[supergran]

Appreciate it! :love:No worries mate!!:whistle:

[Caro]

Where did you get that from? The qualifiers start next Wednesday on the 11th & we will be there every day!

:shamed: Oops! I could have sworn you posted you wouldn't be there .... maybe I was mixing you up with the other AA again - sorry

:yahoo::yahoo: that I got it wrong and you will be cheering our Andy on again. Totally agree with david a few posts above!

Is it difficult to get tickets? It is my dream to go to the AO one year - definately my favourite GS aside from Wimby. Hope you have an amazing time cheering Andy to the title :clap::clap:

[LC the fan]

Just to reply, Caro, yes - tickets are so much easier to get in Melbourne
I went last year (fabulous) and had pre-booked courts and sessions etc. When I got there I really wished I hadn't. Tickets can be obtained the night before and are so easy to exchange for other courts

[-J-]

2:OO AM start for andy, need a little preparation , go for a round of golf while the yellow things in the sky, dinner, couple hrs kip then ready for murraycoaster

[pabbers]

Ah - won't be around for this one then. Fingers crossed for Andy!

[harriet]

well spotted -J-. midday start for andy, hope he wears some sunblock, and a hat?

[silver]

Is there a stream somewhere for Andy's match?

[LC the fan]

Dont think I can battle with the stress of watching Andy, finding and holding a livestream(if there is one) and battling lack of sleep at the same time. Will have to face those traumas when the AO comes up in a couple of weeks. But this time......

GOOD LUCK ANDY - I WILL BE CHEERING YOU IN SPIRIT

[david1610]

I can only suppose that the Friday evening session is already sold out and Friday morning is not as they have also put Tomic on in the morning! No disrespect to the (single) ladies' match in the evening, but if you were offered a ticket to one session, it is pretty clear which session you would want even if you aren't an Andy fan! And if one of the ladies has a 6-1 6-1 win the difference is session length will also be huge. If I had bought Friday evening tickets weeks ago I would not be over the moon!

[lynne]

Early morning it is then........phew!....:sleepy:

Me too! Working full time is a real headache during Australia season! have to be selective if I am to function at any level at work!!

Thanks for info about AO as well - sounds great, so much easier than Wimby. Went to the USO a few years ago and was similar - had tickets for main stadium which also gave access to all the other courts where there were plenty of seats! It would be a big shock for anyone who has been to other GSs to go to Wimby for the first time where you can bearly move in the first week especially!

[JAMES4578]

May not be ideal, though in my case I'm not working this week! Let's hope Andy can step it up as Baggy has been an awkward customer in the past but sure an in form Andy will find a way past him!

[-J-]

Is there a stream somewhere for Andy's match?there has been up till now so i would think so

And there you've hit the nail on the head, James. Fingers crossed!

[ljs]

yayyy the 1st match Im gonna see .... I will cheer extra for all of you who will be :sleepy:

[Nina]

It was all horrible stress for me watching Andy
So I will see the score after the match, Sorry :(

but wish him best of luck!

[violatang]

Appreciate it! :love:
Wow...you are the Y boy in Melbourne!!!My friends & I really enjoy watching the way you four cheering for Andy. Will you propose to Andy this year? lol

[Nina]

yayyy the 1st match Im gonna see .... I will cheer extra for all of you who will be :sleepy:

Thank you ljs :)

[Jan]

yayyy the 1st match Im gonna see .... I will cheer extra for all of you who will be :sleepy:
thanks - please cheer on my behalf!:)

[patmoren]

Andy won't be happy with an early match when he has done most of his playing in the evening.

[david1610]

there has been up till now so i would think so

i dont think its disrespectful to say ladies tennis dosnt sell out stadiums to the same extent as men.is pretty well documented the mens game is more popular
I agree but the fact they have not put Andy's match OR Tomic's match in the evening is really pushing it, IMHO. I doubt many schedulers would have the nerve to do that. This is a 250 tourney after all and both the "star from the top four" and the "young local hero" get put on Friday morning instead of one in the evening.

[LC the fan]

yayyy the 1st match Im gonna see .... I will cheer extra for all of you who will be :sleepy:

Yes please...good and loud. And perhaps you'd pace the carpet too - I usually do !"

[VamosVixs]

I won't see this one, only got an hours sleep last night so no way I can be awake for this. Hopefully I will awake to good news. :thumbup:

[Hawkeye]

lightweight.

[pabbers]

Her diet's working then.........

[Manaus]

Best of luck Andy! :cheer: Win this so that I can watch you during the weekend. :)

From the spectators' point of view, I quite agree. However in view of the fact that the winners have to play the semi the next day, I think probably both players would prefer not to play in the evening.

[lankster2003]

Early bed (about 22:30), up for the match then hopefully a couple of hours sleep again before up for work at 06:00

[rouges]

Good luck Andy. Won't stay up in case match is a 3 setter, too long busy day tomorrow. I shall read the point by point update by those watching. :trophy::trophy::trophy:

[Hawkeye]

Early bed (about 22:30), up for the match then hopefully a couple of hours sleep again before up for work at 06:00I'm off to bed now! See you all at 2am or there will be words! :big grin:

[JAMES4578]

Be there or be Square!

[Linda]

2am? :crying:

[lynne]

The Very Best of Luck Andy!!!:thumbup:




Bet365 have got the match scheduled for 2.30am:)

[sophie900607]

Good luck Andy!
I can't watch the match, with my exams around I can't miss a sleep but hoping to wake for good results! Let's go Andy!!! :)

[MurrayAOne]

Let's go Andy Let's go!!!!!!!!!!

[Aussie Andy]

I am sad and happy at once. Sad because I will be working when Andy's match is on, but my workplace has a TV which has the channel they've put Brisbane on - and I can watch the whole match! No livestreams! But I can't post up the scores like I usually do. I'll miss that.

Well, that's great, AussieAndyFan - wish I could actually go there! Cheer extra hard for me, will ya? :thanks: Now I know why people got confused about my identity some time ago. ;)

Andy hasn't been on the news much at all over here - the media is too fussed about Serena withdrawing, and Tomic getting to the quarters. But should Andy and Bernard meet up in the semis - well, I reckon that would sweep all other news under the carpet while everyone debates whether Bernie can beat Andy or Andy beat Bernie - at any rate Australia would be very proud of Tomic either way. :) (I'm supporting Andy - just)

Best of luck to Andy, may he beat Baghdatis (in straight sets, no Murraycoasters, please! :sofa:) and even up the H2H!

[lynne]

Neil Harman has tweeted that Andy's match will probably be delayed half an hour because of the women's doubles match,still in the first set!

[-J-]

well it aint gonna be a 2:00 am start that for sure first sets just finished in the dubs match b4 andys

[Hawkeye]

pesky wimmen!

[-J-]

they have had their hour now pack their bags and move them on, on second thoughts maybe not you know what women and their bags are like we could be here all night

[Hawkeye]

I'm annoyed as I could have done with the extra half an hour, and it makes it less likely I'll get a sleep after the match.

[lankster2003]

I'm annoyed as I could have done with the extra half an hour, and it makes it less likely I'll get a sleep after the match.

Same here :(

[-J-]

im off at the mo so dont have to wake up early tomoz so the extra half hour is helping me to wake up a bit

[-J-]

arg missed a match point

[pabbers]

Here unexpectedly - pain woke me, so it has its up sides! Hoping for a bit more sleep the other side.

[ljs]

im here and wide awake :cheer::cheer:

[lankster2003]

arg missed a match point

Women need to learn to be able to serve properly :yikes:

[-J-]

second set TB great

[Linda]

I'm here and half asleep. I will probably fall asleep during the match and miss most of it. :sad: Come on Barty/Dellacqua, we don't want a third set here!

[-J-]

I'm here and half asleep. I will probably fall asleep during the match and miss most of it. :sad: Come on Barty/Dellacqua, we don't want a third set here!i could never get to sleep on a murraycoaster

[pabbers]

I'm here and half asleep. I will probably fall asleep during the match and miss most of it. :sad: Come on Barty/Dellacqua, we don't want a third set here!

Isn't it just a tie breaker not a third set?

Sorry - editing to say half asleep. But once this set is decided it will just be the CTB won't it?

[Linda]

Oh yeah, if the WTA doubles is the same as the ATP doubles - I don't know :shamed:

[-J-]

surprise surprise

[Linda]

groan

[-J-]

Oh yeah, if the WTA doubles is the same as the ATP doubles - I don't know :shamed:no need to be embaressed i doubt even thier own families care about this dross :pirate:

[Linda]

Ah, it seems to be a mtb - good.

[lankster2003]

Oh yeah, if the WTA doubles is the same as the ATP doubles - I don't know :shamed:

Small mercies, it is the same as ATP dubs

[Hawkeye]

Even more annoyed as it would have now been an extra hour's kip!

[Jane]

Good morning all - have had about five hours sleep, so should be raring to go, but I'm not - a cuppa is required I think.

[Linda]

A cuppa! What a good idea (toddles off to kitchen)

[pabbers]

A cuppa! What a good idea (toddles off to kitchen)

Can you make me a coffee while you're there please? Can't make one in case I wake Mr P!!

[-J-]

suppose the up side is it might be marginally cooler for Andy by the time he gets out there

[pabbers]

OK they're done!

[Linda]

I tried to be quiet. I won't be able to have the sound on the tennis. Ah, it's over at last.

[Hawkeye]

Ladies doubles is done, Andy in 15 minutes or so!

[ljs]

its finally time :swingin:

[lankster2003]

Even more annoyed as it would have now been an extra hour's kip!

I know they say not before a certain time, but it would help if they had an exact time they would play :sleepy:

[ljs]

is anyone one else without sound on their stream ??

[Linda]

The stream I was watching froze, have looked at two others but they are showing Auckland instead :confused:

[Jane]

No sound or movement here!!

[ljs]

same here :(

[-J-]

wouldnt worry till LS starts moving

[lankster2003]

Think it's just because they are between matches. Hoping so anyway

[JAMES4578]

yeah, seems frozen-hopefully will be ok soon!

[pabbers]

The stream I was watching froze, have looked at two others but they are showing Auckland instead :confused:

same here EEK!

I fancy a bacon sandwich........

[Linda]

Stream has started moving! :cheer:

[-J-]

this could get annoying

[pabbers]

Seriously weird - they were knocking up then the screen went black so I refreshed again and they'd gone back to the coin toss!

[ljs]

very annoying

[-J-]

ye mine to pabbers

[pabbers]

Now they're back on track - practising serve! What the.......??????

[Linda]

Something tells me we're going to have trouble with the stream all through the match :rolleyes:

[pabbers]

Something tells me we're going to have trouble with the stream all through the match :rolleyes:

Let's be optimistic.

[-J-]

ach well still beets LS

[ljs]

pretty crappy stream too * sigh *

[Jane]

I will be so glad when we can go back to watching on TV

[-J-]

both in red there should be some sort of rule about colour clashes

[Linda]

Now, shall I stay here at the computer and watch the miniature screen or get back into bed and watch the full screen? I would be more comfortable, but also more likely to fall asleep!

[pabbers]

Wow Andy looks aggressive!

[-J-]

that first point has some some zip from andy

[Linda]

Stream has stopped again :grrr:

Ah, and back again.

[Linda]

Very aggressive return of serve, I reckon Andy has been watching Nole!

[-J-]

maybe he is thinking about the heat and energy conservation and going for it a tad more

[Hawkeye]

Hold to 30 and it's 4-0.

[-J-]

keeping the run up
cmonnnnnnnnnn

[david1610]

Well held Andy! Important not to raise any hope!
Keep focused!

[david1610]

This is an important game to hold, even though Andy started like a train. C'mon Andy!

[Hawkeye]

A hold to 15 and it's 5-1*.

[patmoren]

Keeping focused 5-1

[ljs]

[Hawkeye]

Quickly to *5-2 and Andy will serve for the set.

[pabbers]

Hmm Baggy is warming up. Andy better strike while the iron's hot for this first set!

[david1610]

Let's keep the serving going, now!
Focus. Safe hold. C'mon Andy!

[patmoren]

Errors creepingn in, don't let him get back in Andy. 5-2

[pabbers]

Phew, first set in the bag. Now break Baggy at the start of the second to at least provide a cushion!

[Jane]

Well done, Andy - great stuff:cheer::cheer::cheer:

[patmoren]

First set in the bag 6-2. Need an early break in the second and I can go back to sleep!

[david1610]

Good serving for the last two points of the game to take the set.
Damage really done in the first four games and Andy not quite as sensational in the last four but solid enough to ensure he got the set.
Early break in the second would be wonderful!
C'mon Andy!

[-J-]

FTM got the P just need a three for the S now

[Linda]

That was a nice quick set! :)

[ljs]

now arent u all so glad you got up for this ?? :lol:

[RoastLamb]

Nice - for a change - that I didn't have to get up to watch this!!! :rolling:

[Hawkeye]

The good sportlemon stream of the last couple of days is up at last, a bit ahead of the 007 one I was watching...

[pabbers]

It really is the difference between the best and the rest - Baggy set up some good points but just doesn't have the skill/accuracy to finish off.

[JAMES4578]

Maybe not the best service game but Andy seemingly the master and such a comprehensive set, hopefully he'll keep the momentum going!

[-J-]

horrid camera angle

[pabbers]

What camera - mine's gone blank again!

[pabbers]

Ah not quite the start we were hoping for.

[patmoren]

Easy game for Baggy, come on Andy!

[-J-]

period of consolidation will do andy no second set blips please

Baggy is serving much better now - he only got 35% 1st serves in, in the first set - up to 70% this set so far.

Phew - hopefully that scare will keep Andy focussed.

[patmoren]

That was a close one but comes through 2-2

[david1610]

Phew! Think it is time to get a break in this set before Baggy puts any more pressure on. C'mon Andy!

tough hold but gets there in the end
now little pressure on the baggy serve would be most appreciated

[pabbers]

Yes!!! Now hold so we can all go back to bed!

[Fina]

Oh yes. Now please hold.

[Hawkeye]

Baggy's concentration seemed to slip in that game I thought after he felt at his lower leg.

focus safe hold & consolidate
