Surbiton Challenger R2: Andy vs Gijs Brouwer

[Hawkeye]

Andy plays qualifier Gijs Brouwer (https://www.atptour.com/en/players/gijs-brouwer/bo10/overview) in the second round after the Dutchman upset Radu Albot.

They have never played each other before.

I guess this will have to be played at some point tomorrow.

Going with serve so far 2-2 though Andy had break point.

[Hawkeye]

Another break point comes and goes at 3-2*, and now here comes another... also saved.

Got it. Thanks

[Teresa]

He should be wiping the floor with this Dutchman, but seems to be struggling?

[Hawkeye]

Looking like another tie break, 5-5.

[Hawkeye]

A tie break it is.

[Hawkeye]

Andy wins 7-6(4) 7-6(3) and will play Brandon Nakashima in the quarters.

Certainly a stiffer test than I expected but Andy in control of the breakers, well done! only won 1 out of 7 break points though,good to have a bit of a test mind you.

[RosieBear]

Andy's respectfully but deliberately playing at about 70% imo. Makes sense - the whole reason for playing was for extra match time, won't get it if he blasts oppo away in under an hour, plus would be a disaster to risk injury at this point.

It felt like watching practice, no tension - must admit I went and did some gardening.

Nakashima, however, is a step up in class.

[harriet]

good game for Andy, needs to come thru a bit of a challenge, his next game will be against the chap who beat Sam Querray

[Stell]

Well done to Andy. I had to have my bone injection before I went to a street party, so I missed it.
