Andy is scheduled 2nd on stadium 2 on Saturday after another men’s match.

About 9/9.30pm at a rough estimate.

PCB has pulled out. Andy now playing lucky loser Radu Albot.

[Teresa]

Thanks was wondering when he played next.

PCB has pulled out.

Is this why they've never played before? :rolling:

[patmoren]

Surely Andy should have got a walkover as matches had already started!

Albot (lucky loser) is replacing PCB who had a bye first round (as a seed) so PCB had not started.

Just to say that the match before them is the first match of the day and starts at 7 p.m. UK time so there is a possibility it could start a bit before 9 p.m. (having said that I will probably have cursed that and it will start later!!!).

Yep, but it won't happen. Previous match is 2-2 in the second set just after 9.00 pm.

edit 4-4 in the second set and 2 hours 12 minutes into the match. If it goes to 3 sets we could be in for a long wait.

My money is on a third set and another late one...

[lovetennis]

FAA has just won. Andy-time imminent

[Hawkeye]

First set to Andy, 6-4! He's been serving really well!

[lovetennis]

Serve is on fire :bravo:

[patlowe]

Half way to winning in straights!!

[HoopGirl]

He’s looking great. A straight sets win would be great!!!

[Hawkeye]

There's the break!

Andy serving at 4-2.

[Hawkeye]

Andy holds! One game from the near-mythical straight sets win!

[lovetennis]

Andy serving for it

[Hawkeye]

Albot holds for 6-3, so Andy will need to serve it out.

[Hawkeye]

30 all...

[Hawkeye]

Match point!

[lovetennis]

Match point

:yahoo:
