Stuttgart 2022, QF: Andy v Tsitsipas. Friday 12.40

[cazza99]

Andy vs Tsitsipas quarter final Friday.

[pabbers]

Andy's match scheduled for 12.40 but must be very much an approximation?

[cazza99]

Not sure who has scheduled Andy for 12.40.

Andy is 3rd on court with first match starting at 10.00. I would estimate Andy is on between 1.00 and 2.00 pm.

Maybe we can play forecast the match start time :lol:

Yes ridiculous schedule!

[Jane]

The match before Andy's is still in the first set (5-3 to Sonego)

[exislander]

I would take these scheduled times as the earliest time a match could start so the players can prepare accordingly. From the schedulers POV how long is a tennis match?

And looks like it’s going to a third :crying: I want to see Andy!

[pabbers]

A third it is!

Easy first service game for Tsitsipas.

Into the business end of the set, Tsitsipas leads 5-4*.

Andy saves a set point at 6-5* and we are into a tie break.

First set to Andy :thumbup:

[banskogirl]

Woohoo! Now just another one of those! Go Andy :cheer:

[JennieF]

Andeee! :clap:

[RosieBear]

I've steeled myself and tuned in. Andy looking great and really composed given the context, brilliant. And actual lol at the netcord that gave Andy the minibreak :rolling: Keep going Andy!

[pabbers]

We have a commentator.... just the one thankfully so no chit chat during points but he's a master of stating the obvious :facepalm:

Where are you watching? I have no commentator on Tennistv.

[Hawkeye]

Andy with a break point at 3-2*... Taken!

[exislander]

Yessss!

I'm watching on the tennis channel app....link was given on the stuttgart thread. Love it! Very user friendly and a match is repeated as soon as it's finished. Can ff or rw 10 secs at a time as well. Knocks Amazon Prime into a cocked hat.

[cazza99]

:yahoo: :yahoo: Well done Andy.

Wonder if they will start showing other stuff. I am watching Stuttgart on TennisTV.

Nice one Andy!! Big win.

[Jane]

Well done, Andy :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

[banskogirl]

Oh I’m so happy with this result :cheer::swingin::dance:

:grass::grass2::grass:

[RosieBear]

What a win!! First top 5 scalp in ages. And what a time to do it! Haven't seen previous rounds but on a mission today, excellent composure when it mattered. Andy's simply a grass court genius and now playing with confidence and clarity (Mr Lendl I could hug you). Stay healthy Andy and the plan will come together. I'm so excited and nervous and excited and nervous and excited and nervous for him this grass season, a total wreck already lol :grass::excited::sofa:

Stef can have a 25 min toilet break to console himself :rolling:

[pabbers]

Yesssss!!! No chance for a Tsitsipas toilet break :lol:

Cazza.... I've got it on 7 days free trial but I'm very tempted to take out a subscription.

[Jan]

Fabulous!!!!!! :cheer::cheer:

Correction.... they're not showing Andy's match again. But it's easy to find the replay.

[JAMES4578]

Tremendous performance from Andy,was under a bit of pressure in the first (particularly in that 6-5 game) but stayed strong and once ahead really took control and showed his pedigree, best win for some time. A few errors from Tsitsipas at crucial times but he did not seem to have the answers to fight back in the 2nd.

I am not getting too carried away yet but certainly very positive,well done!

Not sure that Tennis Channel International will show an awful lot,however need to see.

I am not sure if they cover many tournaments though. Not seed tennisontelly mention them before.

[Hawkeye]

It's Andy's old mucker Nick K in the semis as Fucovics retires.

Not before 2pm BST tomorrow.

[HoopGirl]

Well I was super impressed with how Andy played - the Tsitispas serve was unreturnable in the first set and it was so tight on Andy’s that to get to the tiebreak and then WIN the tiebreak was very impressive.
Andy then grew in confidence whilst Tsitsipas lost confidence and tbh he was just amazing. Very different from yesterday.
The crowd really wanted him to win too!
No muttering. Just focused and pulled out great shots when needed.

[HoopGirl]

Is this last two weeks the most Andy has played in a short time in some years?

[Teresa]

I had to go out just as it started. Was a bit staggered when I saw the result later.

[Stell]

I think so, HoopGirl. I was expecting Andy to take a week off. But, I followed him on the live scores and was absolutely delighted with the result.
