done it!

[clancy]

2 hard fought matches with the right conclusion. Well done, Andy and Liam. x

[Gary D]

I only caught this from near the end of the 3rd set. What happened to Sonego in the 2nd set, - go AWOL ?

[patlowe]

There we go! Never in doubt. A bit tense from 10th game onwards in third set, but highly entertaining and very very satisfying! Great crowd support! Well done champ! :clap::clap::clap:

PS And well done to Liam Broady who won his match shortly before Andy did. :clap:

[JAMES4578]

Pretty tough third set but another gutsy display from Andy,well done! Sonego tightened up just a bit mind you.

[Hawkeye]

Zverev next.

[themass15]

Great win by Andy in the end

How did Andy look?

As good as I've seen him in the last few years

[Genbrit]

That's our Andy. Likes to keep us on the edge of our seats!! Phew!! Liam almost on identical course, with final set tiebreaks at the same time. Well done to both of them.

[HoopGirl]

As good as I've seen him in the last few years

That’s so good to hear!

[banskogirl]

Well that was fun…. Now that we know the result! I thought Andy looked really fresh and his first few shots made me think he was going to do it the easy way, I should’ve known better.

Well done Andy! Loved it :)

Looking forward to his next match, hard to know how Zverev will be feeling.
