Just looked on Amazon Prime today and can’t see Andy’s match?

[exislander]

Amazon Prime Video has it listed in "Upcoming" at 5.30 pm. (reply with quote does not work)

I went to Amazon Prime via Firefox and it is down for 5.30 pm. lots of Brits on today. Unfortunately I have my next cataract op first on the list tomorrow. It takes over an hour to get there so early night tonight!!

Andy has missed a load of break points, and then at 5-4* faced the first two against, but he was able to save them.

[Sallydaisy]

Hmm, he's had Ad a couple(few?) of times but it's back to deuce.

[Sallydaisy]

5-5
:phew:

It looks very breezy in Toronto; Andy having trouble with the ball toss.

[Sallydaisy]

It'd be good for Andy to get a break of serve right now.

[clancy]

Andy doesn't seem able to break him; could go to a tie break. Just hope he doesn't lose the set. x

[Sallydaisy]

Tie-break it is. Sonego serving first.
:shades:

*1-0
2-0* oops, Sonego gets the first break
2-1*
*2-2 DF Sonego
*3-2 great court work from Andy to edge ahead.
2-4* and stays ahead.
:shades:

[Sallydaisy]

Andy holds again for *5-2 and let's out a huge "come on"
*2-6 and 4 set points for Andy

[Sallydaisy]

:dance:
1st set to Andy 7-6(3) - took 1hr 28mins and hard work but he made it.

[clancy]

Good tie break from Andy and he takes the 1st set! x

[Sallydaisy]

Wahey, Andy finally breaks the Sonego serve to go 2-0 up.
Now he needs to hold to keep the momentum.

[Sallydaisy]

And he holds for a lead of 3-0!!!
Just keep holding serve Andy.
:thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Double-break to Andy!!! He is now 4-0 up in the 2nd set and serving next.
Just hold serve Muzzah.

[Sallydaisy]

And 5-0 ... are in for a bagel? or breadstick?
:breadstick:

[Sallydaisy]

Match point ...

7'6(3), 6'0
Tricky conditions but Andy played the better of the 2 to get that win.

[Jane]

:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo: Well done, Andy!!

[patmoren]

What a great result by Andy. Completely took over in the second set. That will give him a big mental boost.:cheer::cheer::cheer:

[clancy]

I asked for a quick 2nd set and he obliged! Love a bagel from him; bet he enjoyed that! Is it on to AAF now? x

[lovetennis]

Excellent win Andy :cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer:

[JAMES4578]

A long opening set where both had chances but once Andy had the upper hand never looked back and Sonego felt the pressure, well done!

[HoopGirl]

Terrific match.
Well done Andy!

[Teresa]
