[clancy]

Devastated. I am so concerned for him. x

[Sallydaisy]

:sad:

[JAMES4578]

certainly is disappointing,had hoped at least for a closer contest.

[HoopGirl]

Humbert was banging shots at him at high speed - hard to return

[Silverdee]

3 pm news confirming that Andy has said he will play up to the Olympics

[Teresa]

I am pleased he won yesterday and sad he lost today, but I will cheer when he does retire. I hope he enjoys these last few months and can relax a bit.

Nothing can ever take away from him what he has accomplished, both for himself, British Tennis and British Sport.

[HoopGirl]

Agree with you Teresa but will miss him and the Murraycoaster rides we have shared here for many years

[Speedy Hawk]

Shame he lost.

[pabbers]

He didn't play badly. Humbert played out of his skin without a dip. I think maybe knowing these are his last few months, Andy is already playing more freely.... he's more aggressive and coming forward more. No complaints from me.

[cazza99]

I wonder if a lot of players, especially the up and coming players, are really gunning to get Andy so they can say they have beaten him.

[exislander]

Humbert has also beaten Hurkacz today.

[JAMES4578]

Humbert had to save 3 mp's in the 2nd set breaker before winning the decider 6-3, it was good win but Hurkacz got a bit tight.

[cazza99]

Andy has lost to yet another finalist. Humbert has taken out Medvedev in 2 sets.

[HoopGirl]

It’s so unfair isn’t it

[pabbers]

Crikey!

[cazza99]

Andy didn't only lose to a finalist. He lost to the winner.

[Guerkins2]

Once again!

[HoopGirl]

It’s either mega tough or good for Andy to know he put up a great battle against him

Or both !
