AO R4: Andy thru' to the Quarters 6'1, 6'1, 1'0 (Kukushkin ret'd)

[Sallydaisy]

Shock news. Andy will NOT be playing a Frenchman in R4.

Instead he'll meet Kukushkin who beat Monfils in 5 sets tonight .....

But Andy beat Kuku in R1 in Brisbane 2 weeks ago so, erm, could be an interesting match.

[Jan]

I would have thought this will be on Monday???

[Sallydaisy]

I would have thought this will be on Monday???
Thanks Jan, getting muddled with my days!

[Jan]

OK not a problem - I had to stop and double check!

[-J-]

Iv been lucky with match times so far hopping it continues, the fact this match isnt against le monf proberly decreases the chances andy gets centrer billing

[Speedy Hawk]

I hope Andy match is 1st or early in morning cos if it evening match then I will miss it cos of work.

[traveller7]

I reckon he will be on at about 2am uk time for some reason

[Speedy Hawk]

Earlier in "am" the better means easier to go sleep after ready for work wake up 7:30am.

[VamosVixs]

4/5am is my preferred time, then straight to work after.

[Speedy Hawk]

4/5am is my preferred time, then straight to work after.

5am I can do, but not 4am cos too long be awake cos I got presentation to do on Monday!

Or night billing.. on the three main courts and one night session and one match - Tomic v. Federer (I doubt that required much thinking about - and no point in saying Fed. always gets night matches, given it is the AO that is a no brainer!).
SO....Tsonga v. Ken - similar level of attraction to Andy's but an Asian connection (it is the called the Asian GS as well, don't forget); Gasquet v Ferrer - the attraction of two of the "next level of players" and Djokovic v. Raionic v. Hewitt. Well no brainer if Hewitt gets through of course, but otherwise, I suspect it will be Nole anyway because No. 1 plus top twentyish player beats Andy v "nobody" (in terms of selling tickets).
Otherwise, Andy's popularity v. Tsonga's court appeal plus the Asian connection.....

[-J-]

from a selfish point of few a day match would suite me better, but would be nice to get a nite match on laver some time soon

[Maza1987]

Cant wait.
Hoping for a good time. Either first on or last on hopefully.

Nice to play someone whom he beat last week. Also, kukushkin had a marathon with Monfils today.

[david1610]

For some reason I want to call him Kukushka and sing along to Kate Bush's Babooshka (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot3cVY1JESQ for the younger generation of Andy fans) though not one of her better songs IMHO) andI can't get the chorus (at 0:57) out of my head!

lol David, maybe not her best but always liked that song myself!

[patmoren]

There are no main matches on Hisense after Monday, all on Rod Laver ie Qtrs and beyond according to the ticket sales site.

[wriggles]

Cant wait for this..pumped up already! andy 'supernatural' montage for anyone who hasnt seen it below...come on our boy!

Andy is playing second on Rod Laver after a ladies' match.

good for me, not so much for Andy, hopfull he wont be out in the sun for two long

[Hawkeye]

So, around 2am?

[-J-]

i will go tad earlier at 1:30

[LC the fan]

Just about the worst time for me. I will record it and sit back and enjoy my breakfast :cuppa: watching the demolition (hopefully) Andy should do this and then get down to the real contests
:worship:

[lynne]

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

[Sallydaisy]

Andy is playing second on Rod Laver after a ladies' match.
Had a feeling this is what he'd get bearing in mind that Hewitt v Djokovic was odds on being the night match on RLA. Ah well, at least Andy does know what it's like to be out on RLA in the heat - whereas Kuku hasn't ever played a match on that court.

[JAMES4578]

Pretty happy with the timing and couldn't have watched a night match live, hope Andy makes fairly short work of Kukushkin! Quarters and Semis will be night matches but I've booked Wednesday-Friday off next week!

[patmoren]

Hardly worth going to bed!

[Sallydaisy]

This tweet from Neil Harman ref the heat today ...

NeilHarmanTimes (https://twitter.com/#%21/NeilHarmanTimes) Neil Harman



A top of 34.9 C today at 2.10 pm. Getting cooler now.....



One major difference between RLA and Hisense is the likelihood that if there is any wind the players will feel it more on the bigger arena but the shadows take longer to come across the court than on Hisense.

[xenon21]

Hope it's not too hot for Andy! Is ok for us. I kind of like being able to go back to sleep after a match. Mentally sometimes feels like you have more sleep than you really do!

[Caro]

Think I'll go for 2am then back to bed after. I am lucky enough to not be working tomorrow so have that luxury.

Go ANDY!!!!!!

[Maza1987]

Perfect. Shall watch the Kvitova match then stay up for Andy. Got no plans for tomorrow anyway.

[Jan]

hmm not sure I can cope with getting up for this.

[greatunclebulgaria]

think I have grand kids to sort in the morning which means driving to theirs for 7am getting them up sorting them for nursery and school don't think I can do that on little or no sleep soooooooooooooooooooooo

think it's record it and watch once I'm back home but if she does happen to phone and say she doesn't need to leave till they are all sorted I'll have a nap say 8-10/11 then go back to bed after the match

[pabbers]

Got pub quiz tonight so will be back fairly late - think I'll risk staying up and sleeping after. No work tomorrow thank goodness.

[Linda]

Won't be able to watch it. Tried watching Rafa's match last night at exactly the same time but kept nodding off.

[Alis]

Perfect. Shall watch the Kvitova match then stay up for Andy. Got no plans for tomorrow anyway.

Me too - there are compensations to being retired!

[Caro]

Linda - can't you go to bed early and get up for it? I couldn't STAY up but I am fine if I have about 3 hours sleep first. I watch in the sitting room as hubby in bed but even if he wasn't I would get up cos if I watched in bed I would probably keep nodding off too.

Luckily have no work tomoz but have done this plenty of times when at work the next day and survived.

[banskogirl]

Hi everyone :) really happy with the timing of this match! will stay up and maybe doze on the sofa then go to bed after it. hopefully there will be no murraycoaster to keep me awake! have to be up for work at 6:45 so the faster the better Andy!

[odds]

Hi everyone. The match will be on at 2.30 - 3am here. Not good when I have to be at work at 8.30.:sleepy: So, think I'll start recording it and get up at around 5 and watch it from the beginning. Problem is, Eurosport don't say which of the two channels it will be on. Any ideas?

[Ace!]

I'm sure Andy has learned from their last match a few weeks ago and will put his foot down from the start! if not i'll be to tired to enjoy the roller-coaster:)

[JAMES4578]

Kukushkin has proved he can be tricky and of course has had a great run here but Mikhail has had by far the tougher route and I'm sure Andy can take advantage of that! Not taking anything for granted but hopefully this should be fairly comfortable for Murray!

[scrapaddict]

Good luck Andy - no sofa needed I hope!

[Jane]

Best of luck, Andy:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::)

[MurrayAOne]

Good luck Andy!!! Go for it mate!!!!!!!!!!!

[patmoren]

Lets have more of Fridays activity, such a great match. This one will probably be more serious.

[SamP]

Really can't be bothered to get up at such an ungodly hour tomorrow but I suppose I must as commitments might well mean I miss a lot of the action next week anyway :(

[RoastLamb]

Another good time for me, ljs and Genbrit. About 9 p.m. my time so that's perfect. Afterwards I can tape the rest of the night and watch in the morning. I got up at 2:30 to watch the previous Andy match and it was torture getting through the day. But I'm glad I made the effort because the telly only showed TWO points of the ENTIRE match. :grrr:

[greatunclebulgaria]

whoot whoot :confused::laugh::laugh:

no kids tomorrow so off to bed for me in a minuet and hopefully up by midnight :rolling::rolling::rolling:

it will be a good women's match to start (I hope)

[-J-]

might try catchig a few hours , early start tomorow

[david1610]

Well the big difference between this and last time is surely that they meet in a tournament where Andy has already played ten sets.
Important for tonight, and hopefully later on, that he concentrates on not just winning but winning and saving energy.

[Jan]

OK I've decided that I'm not setting an alarm, but if I wake up at an opportune moment I'll sneak a look! It's quite likely, as I do often wake up during the night.
In case I get one of those rare good nights, I'll say it now: Come on Andy!!!!!!!!!:cheer::cheer::cheer:

my wife has the remote just now, but hoping the Giants can come up with the goods at Candlestick and then Andy can finish off the night in style!

[traveller7]

Hi all!
Not bad timing for a lot of us it seems. I will stay up and watch it then go to sleep. Supposed to be going swimming tomorrow at midday will see how energetic I feel and depends on how long Andys match is! (A very small upside of being unemployed no commitments).

[Golden Lady]

All the very best Andy! Can't get up for this but trust that you'll come through ok and that I'll wake to good news!

[rondun]

I'm think I want the 9ers to do the business there, but hope the game is better than the this one. Just ffw-ing through the 1st Q - Baltimore took nearly 12 minutes to get a 1st down and Brady has been a bit sketchy with 2 interceptions, sacked and several missed passes so far.

[KnightOwl]

Meant to go and have a snooze this evening, to be sure I'd be up and awake for the match - kind of forgot, and now can't quite decide whether to grab a couple of hours sleep now, or just stay up and drink lots of coffee!

[-J-]

me to justnot sleepy at the mo

[KnightOwl]

Yeah - I'm really bad at trying to sleep when I'm not sleepy - I guess that's why I'm usually up late.

Just worried we end up with a 4-5 hour match and I drop off half-way through :big grin:

If you've found the game, you need to click once and a penguin will drop down - click again at the right moment, and the polar bear (?) will swing his bat and send the penguin flying. If you're way too early or late, then penguin will just land in the snow, otherwise he will be sent flying and score you some points :)

[david1610]

Well done to get the double break back Andy, especially as you will be serving into the sun. Must be horribly hot but...
Focus. Safe hold.
C'mon Andy!

[KnightOwl]

Better - double break again - just needs to keep focus...!

[-J-]

kitkat :boogie:

[Alis]

Well done Andy - double break restored! Not much fun for him in that heat with no atmosphere - what a difference to the Llodra match.

[MurrayAOne]

Well in Andy!!!!!!!! Come Ooooooooon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JAMES4578]

Andy in command again hopefully, good stuff!
