Andy vs Nakashima match thread.

[cazza99]

Andy is 3rd on the Centre Court after 2 ITF matches with play starting at 11.00 am.

[Stell]

I did notice that the Red Button won't be showing any of the tennis today.

[Silverdee]

What a shame, I was looking forward to seeing Andy again

[harriet]

the Surbiton page has a Watch live option, at the moment i'm watching Kudla v Purcell

[Guerkins2]

Or you can watch it on the BBC iPlayer or ATP challenger tv

[cazza99]

The LTA are meant to be streaming some matches on their youtube channel too.

[Teresa]

I have found it on iplayer

[Teresa]

Murray breaks. Now can he hold?

[Stell]

I'm watching it on the ATP Challenger Tour website.

Yeah, Andy breaks Nakashima's serve to make it 4 - 3 in the first set.

[Teresa]

Yes he can 5:3

[Teresa]

5:4 - and I have to go out. Can AM serve it out?

[exislander]

Yes he can 6-4

[Stell]

2 -2 in the second set.

[Stell]

3 - 3.

I'm also having to keep any eye on Court 1, where Cash and Patten are playing Bellier and Harris.

[Stell]

4 - 4.

[Stell]

5 - 5. I hope someone will turn that stupid alarm off soon. It must be very off putting for the players.

[Stell]

Tie break.

[Stell]

YES!! Andy wins it 6 - 4, 7 - 6 (7 - 1).

[Teresa]

Excellent just got home to see last few points.🌞

[RosieBear]

Nicely done by Andy. A good work out for footing and range on grass, but stepped up on key points to control the match.

Stringing the wins together nicely, doesn't matter that it's a challenger, once the irrational hang ups are gone, they're gone.

Early days on the grass but he looks good.

Nakashima's got a nice game.

[JAMES4578]

Was a step up but Andy coming through the key moments, certainly convincing in breaker- well done!

[lovetennis]

Enjoyed that...and another Andy match to look forward to tomorrow. Keep'em coming Andy :thumbup:

[Hawkeye]

It'll be Denis Kudla in the semis.

[Stell]

It'll be shown on the Red Button tomorrow from 11am.
