[cazza99]

oop is already out.

2nd match on Grandstand. 1st match starts 4 pm.

[exislander]

Grrrrr - I had hoped it would be later - I have to be out tomorrow 6.30-10.30 and of course I do not have Sky. Might be able to follow scores but that will be all.....and so few people making any comments here recently I wont know what is happening. Ah well, I suppose there might be a BBC report of sorts later.......

[banskogirl]

I am just annoyed that I have to take out sky sports for a month! Looking forward to the match!

[cazza99]

Apparently the match will also be on Sky Showcase and that can be accessed by those without Sky Sports.

[banskogirl]

Wow that would be amazing!

[cazza99]

Previous match has finished. So Andy on next!!! :cheer:

[cazza99]

Wasn't it the Grandstand Court where Andy puked up in his early days. Think it was Pavel he was playing in 2005.

[cazza99]

Match just about to start.

[Jane]

First set to Andy - 6-2 :thumbup:

[Alis]

Great start!

[clancy]

Andy broken in 2nd set 2-3.

[Hawkeye]

Break down in set 2. Of course Moutet would break on only his second break point (from 40-0) after Andy missed so many...

[Hawkeye]

A few chances to break back come and go...

[Hawkeye]

Andy 2/13 on break points, Moutet 1/2.

[Hawkeye]

Back on serve!

[Hawkeye]

Andy leads 6-5*, and needs to take advantage while Moutet is still steaming about the break.

[Jane]

Second set to Andy.....7-5 :cheer:

[Hawkeye]

And he does! 6-2 7-5.

[clancy]

Our miracle man takes the 2nd set 7-5. One to go, Andy! x

[clancy]

I'm only following on FS, is Moutet getting het up?

[Hawkeye]

Andy serving first, 1-0*.

[Hawkeye]

Andy jumps straight to 2 break points...

An underarm serve saves the first, and a big serve saves the second...

[banskogirl]

Loving this!

[Hawkeye]

Moutet takes a nasty tumble, Andy holds and then races to three set points.

All saved. 5 chances missed this set.

Here's a sixth... Also missed.

[Hawkeye]

Moutet holds, 3-3.

[Sallydaisy]

Radio 5x commentary is entertaining.
:lol:

[Hawkeye]

ANOTHER 3 break points...

1 saved...

[Sallydaisy]

Humph, 3 break points saved.
But Andy has another bp

[Sallydaisy]

Yay, Muzz to serve for the match.

[Hawkeye]

Finally!

[Sallydaisy]

Wot a mess

[Sallydaisy]

Argh. DF on match point.

[Hawkeye]

Match point, DF...

[Hawkeye]

Break point...

[Sallydaisy]

:yahoo:

And breathe......

[Hawkeye]

:yahoo:

[Jane]

Andy wins 6-2, 7-5, 6-3 :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

[cazza99]

Well done Andy :yahoo:

[clancy]

Molcan played out of his skin but Dimitrov takes the 5th set on a 3rd tie break so will play Andy in the 2nd round.

[Teresa]

Well done. Just finished watching it.

[lovetennis]

Woohoo Andy. Into round 2 and chalks up 200 GS wins

[HoopGirl]

That was a good match - as Andy said - full of drama.
Let’s hope he can continue and improve for his next match

[pabbers]

He really needed to do it in 3..... it was 3 hours as it was. Cringed when I saw Dimitrov is next but read above that he had a 5 setter so...
