INDIAN WELLS 2012, ROUND 2: Andy goes out to Garcia-Lopez. 4'6, 2'6. Match Report in 1st post.

[Sallydaisy]

Andy kicks off his campaign at Indian Wells against Guillermo Garcia-Lopez in R2 .
http://images.paraorkut.com/img/pics/glitters/c/cactus-7590.gif

Muzzah leads their H2H (http://www.atpworldtour.com/Players/Head-To-Head.aspx?pId=MC10&oId=G476) 2-0 with 2 comprehensive wins against the 28yr old Spanish player.
The most recent came in 2011 in the R32 at the AO with a scoreline of 6-1, 6-1, 6-2. Previously Andy beat GGL at Queens in 2009 in 2 sets 6'4, 6'4.

Andy won't underestimate GGL who is currently ranked #92 but this time last year had a CH of #23. That followed a stellar 2010 season during which time he won one of his 2 titles at Bangkok - beating Rafa Nadal 'en-route' in the Semi-Final. He followed that up by reaching the Quarter Finals in both Tokyo and the Shanghai Masters. 2011 was a poor year by comparison for the Spaniard; hence the drop down the rankings.

GGL doesn't have a great deal in his game that can trouble an in form Muzzah. The only real advantage he might have when they first step on court is that he's already played a match and might be more used to the conditions which can be a bit blustery out in the desert.

The match will be played on Sunday morning, at around 4:30am.
----------------------------------------------------------------

MATCH REPORT

This was a miserable performance from Andy - there's really no other way to describe it.
Garcia-Lopez produced a classy game of tennis and outplayed Murray for most of the match. Worryingly, there seemed nothing Andy could do to turn things round; no plan B, no comeback and, for the 2nd year running, no win in Indian Wells.

Following on from last year, where he went out in R2 to Donald Young, we all hoped Andy could lay that particular ghost to rest. However, Murray didn't seem comfortable from the off whereas GGL pulled out all the stops and produced a consistent, attacking game throughout.

Andy began brightly with a couple of good holds but after being broken by GGL, in game 9, he couldn't break back and the first set went to GGL 6'4.

The rest of the match was a struggle for Muzzah who failed to capitalise on ALL 7 of his break point chances. His serve percentage was down to 48% and his unforced error count way too high. His repertoire of normally solid shot-making and baseline play deserted him and the body language and yelps of anguish told their own story of missed chances.

After dropping serve in the opening game of the second set it seemed as though the match might be all over. However, Andy rallied to hold for 1-2 and worked hard to get 3 BP's against the serve in the next game. GGL held steady and defended them all for 3-1. Andy followed up with a better hold and again tried to break but the Spaniard just played consistently well to fend off any further break point chances. Another break of the Murray serve in the next game left GGL serving for the match at 5-2 and he took the opportunity with no resistance from the British player.


Andy won't underestimate GGL who is currently ranked #92 but this time last year had a CH of #23.
GGL doesn't have a great deal in his game that can trouble an in form Muzzah. The only real advantage he might have when they first step on court is that he's already played a match and might be more used to the conditions




These quotes taken from the opening post of the thread ...
Andy wasn't 'in-form' and GGL played like the #23 player he was a year ago.

Perhaps GGL did have the 'advantage' of already playing a R1 match?
Were the night-time conditions and slower court something Andy wasn't ready for?
Did the the trip to Dubai, with it's fast court and the time zone changes, ultimately have a negative effect on his prep for the 2 American Masters?
Or was this just one of those inexplicable 'bad days at the office'.....

Quite a lot for Andy to sort out following this match and ahead of the Miami Masters.

[Fina]

Pity Andy hasn't had a doubles match beforehand to get in some match practice with the court/ball conditions.
Also, being the last match of the day, hope he will quickly adapt to night conditions; and that there'll still be some good crowd support and atmosphere.

Good Luck Andy. Will be rooting for you as always.

[pabbers]

Gulp - just checked Sky and it seems coverage ends at 1am :grrr:

[cazza99]

I think the only way to find out will be to wait for live coverage tonight and see what they say. I am sure they will repeatedly announce it if they are showing it.

[david1610]

Must admit I am surprised at this scheduling as in previous years I had thought Sky had been a factor in Andy getting matches in the midday sun as it was good scheduling for them. Wonder if this is just random, Andy's influence, or Sky's lack of influence.

Not sure I can be awake but wish Andy well. C'mon Andy!

[pabbers]

Right - have now promised myself I'll get up for it if they're going to show it on the red button. Mr P won't notice as he's just gone off down the pub to watch the Wales v Italy match, followed by whatever the match is after that (you can tell I follow rugby), so he should be nicely pickled by the time he gets home ;)

[rouges]

4.30hrs !!! Hopefully Maria's match lasts over 2 hrs and Andy not on court before 5AM, I could be up for that time, may be see end of match. Good luck Andy. :wino:

[-J-]

ah well Sundays where made kipping, back to bed after the tennis

[Linda]

I think I'll set my alarm for 5am. No going back to bed for me though - church beckons!

[banskogirl]

I won't be up for this but hope Andy wins! :yahoo:

[Manaus]

Best of luck to Andy. :cheer: Not sure if I should try to get up for this but I'll set my alarm and see what happens. :)

[karanga]

Very best of luck, Andy. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

[pabbers]

I won't be up for this but hope Andy wins! :yahoo:

Let's hope Andy's up for it :lol:

[supergran]

Right - have now promised myself I'll get up for it if they're going to show it on the red button. Mr P won't notice as he's just gone off down the pub to watch the Wales v Italy match, followed by whatever the match is after that (you can tell I follow rugby), so he should be nicely pickled by the time he gets home ;)That's funny as Supergramps is now in pub. The match following Wales is Ireland and Scotland, on now. Hope Andy's match is on red button as I hope to watch it also.

[Genbrit]

He!! He!! We're in my time zone, so will be settled down this evening to watch this and hopefully a nice smooth ride to a win so I can then sleep peacefully. :wino::cheer:
Just an FYI to you all that here in the States we are putting our clocks forward tonight and while it won't affect the time difference of 8 hours for this match going forward we will only be 7 hours behind you for the rest of the week. :thumbup:

[JAMES4578]

Seems that Sky are not showing Andy's match live as they simply mentioned we'd be able to see highlights of it in the afternoon! Anyway I will be up to see a stream! Andy has mastered Garcia Lopez pretty well in the past and the spaniard hasn't been quite the same force lately. However, we can't take anything for granted as we know first matches can be tricky! However, hopefully Andy will be impressive!

[-J-]

if we can find a steam

[JAMES4578]

if we can find a steam


Hoping there will be a stream!

[-J-]

there should be, its listed on LSH

[Maza1987]

gl andy
wont be up for this.

[MurrayAOne]

Does anyone know why Sky are covering the tournament but not Andy's match?

[JAMES4578]

Does anyone know why Sky are covering the tournament but not Andy's match?

They're only showing the day session live and highlights of the night session. Hoped though that they might have made an exception if Andy was playing then.

[MurrayAOne]

They're only showing the day session live and highlights of the night session. Hoped though that they might have made an exception if Andy was playing then.

Thanks. Of course they should have made an exception. We must support our players.

[-J-]

they show golf, cricket etc in the middle of the night but not tennis:confused:

[MurrayAOne]

That's true! What's that all about???

[-J-]

geography ;)

[MurrayAOne]

geography ;)

[Linda]

It's listed on tennistv.com and lshunter, there should be no trouble finding a stream.

Not too bad a time for the match as it just means getting up early. It's the ones that interrupt your sleep, like 1, 2, 3 am that are a real killer.

[AllyB]

They're only showing the day session live and highlights of the night session. Hoped though that they might have made an exception if Andy was playing then.

But they've already got the cash from all the tennis fans, so why make any extra effort. I pay them because I had no analogue signal and once you're used to the movies and the sports they're hard to give up. Doesn't stop them being a bunch of money-grabbing crooks!

[RFS]

4:30 am??? You're 'avin' a giraffe!!!!
I am normally awake around 5:45 these days but I really hope that he has done and dusted the match before then!!!

So glad I don't subscribe to Sky. What a waste of money.

[Linda]

But if it starts at 1am it might not finish until 4am. :sofa:

[-J-]

But if it starts at 1am it might not finish until 4am. :sofa:true

[Jan]

hmm I will definitely not make the start of this one, and probably not the end! So, some on Andy!!! :cheer:
Hope to see the "W" in the morning!

[Sallydaisy]

My plans for an early night have gone to pot; can't sleep!
Watching a repeat of Lewis 'til 11pm and then hope I can get some kip and set the alarm for about 4.45am.
(they never start the match on the dot of ..... coin toss, warm up etc)

[ljs]

I'll be staying up late to watch , but I have no doubt it will be a win :cheer:

[40-15]

so if Andy is scheduled to play in the evening sessions all week - sky tv won't show any of his matches live!!?

don't think i would be able to see them at that time during the week!! - but there are plenty of fans who can and would!! - very poor if this is the case

Good Luck Andy!!

Yes it is frustrating, though some of us fanatics will upset our sleeping patterns! Think it's likely that though that Andy wouldn't be playing at night all the time!


-J-
i gave sky up when i realized where my cash went

I always find the quality better on TV though and Sky have a monopoly in areas such as my own where there is no cable, would be a bit lost without it!

[Alis]

I have heard that Sky are showing Andy's match live on the red button but please don't take that as gospel.

[JennieF]

Ooo.....bravo to all you night owls and good luck to Andy! Wish I had the energy to get up at 4 am, but I haven't.
Though now I've said that I bet I'll wake up and won't be able to resist the temptation to find a stream to watch,
so think I'd better take my laptop up to bed with me!! :pillows:

[JAMES4578]

I have heard that Sky are showing Andy's match live on the red button but please don't take that as gospel.

Where did you heard that from Alis, as sure it's not been mentioned on Sky.

[KnightOwl]

Now I don't know what to do :sad:

I assumed Sky would be showing it, so I was going to grab some sleep now and get up to watch it - but if they're not showing it...?

[sophie900607]

Good luck Andy!! Don't think I can wake up that early but surely I'll be dreaming about him! :) Respect to all of you who will wake up, cheer in our names too please! :)

[traveller7]

Good luck Andy I wont be waking up early for this been a busy day

[Aussie Andy]

Well, Aussiemum tells me the match is on while I'm at work, so that's a pain. Cheer Andy on for me!

[lynne]

The Very Best of Luck Andy!!!:thumbup:

Match about to start. Andy serving

Andy on court warming up, not a bad reception from the crowd, G-Lopez won the coin toss & chose to receive...off the make a coffee!!!:)

[Hawkeye]

Let's make quick work of this Andy, I could really do with a few more hours kip!

[ljs]

GGL starting strong , but dont expect it to last to be honest

[-J-]

good hold

[david1610]

Good serving. Well held.

Not being an expert, but I think we have already seen the difference in speed of this court and Dubai last week - so much harder to hit an outright winner on this slower court.

Time for a kitkat. C'mon Andy!

[-J-]

was i late for FTM hawkeye ?

[david1610]

Mmm. Oh well. So be it.
Focus. Safe hold. C'mon Andy!

[Aussiemum]

Hello Form Downunder, :)

[tom]

I chose what seemed the best of the three streams suggested, but picture and sound are constantly freezing. Probably due to wifi connection not being fast enough?

[KnightOwl]

Hmmmm....looks like I've joined this at a bad time!

[-J-]

only one response Andy
break him straight back
cmonnnnnnnnnnnnn

[pabbers]

Oh oooohhh - lots of uncharacteristic errors from Andy. GL playing well but not that well. CMOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNN ANDEEEEEEEEE!!!

[david1610]

Oh dear. I think Andy got a bit frustrated when just a bit more patience was needed. It was on serve. Andy had not broken. Now he has been broken.
Oh well. Really needs to up his game. And take any chances that come his way.
C'mon Andy!

[JAMES4578]

Andy let it slip there to drop serve,come on!

[Linda]

If only Andy had broken a few games ago when GGL was 0-40! But GGL looks very determined. Come on Andy!

[Hawkeye]

3 SPs, and there's the set.

15 UEs in the first set.

[sid]

6-4 Lopez

[ljs]

Andy really struggling here , hopefully a better 2nd set coming

[KnightOwl]

Oh dear - gonna have to do it the hard way now - maybe I should have stayed in bed...!

[pabbers]

Oh dear - got a really bad feeling. Andy's timing seems really off. Maybe he's been overconfident in his pressers and is now trying to live up to that. GL is getting off lightly. Come on - up your game Andy. Hopefully GL will have a dip.

[-J-]

andy looked fine till 3-3, then came the errors
oh well o it in 3

[david1610]

Tricky tricky.
I felt Andy came out trying to play GL off court but has been not quite doing one thing or doing another thing since the first four games of that set.

Needs to be a bit more ruthless this set and take any chances and cut down on the UEs.
Easy to say but this is certainly not a walk in the park.

Focus. Work it out. C'mon Andy!

[-J-]

has the look of a devil dirt match, difficult to put the ball away

[patmoren]

Andy not really fired nuo at the moment. Not showing the aggression he had in Dubai

[Sallydaisy]

:sad:

I've not been able to watch it so far - cannot get a stream to work.
Have tried going through websites for LSH and Sportlemon ...

Could someone please post up a link that they've got working?

[Linda]

Sorry Sally, I'm watching on tennis.tv (which I do recommend).

[Sallydaisy]

GGL has already played a match so probably has a better 'feel' for the courts.
Andy just needs to regroup and rethink his strategy!
He really needs to come through this .....

[-J-]

back to deuce
now close it out
cmonnnnnnnnnnnn

[Aussiemum]

Oh Andy. :(

[sid]

Andy down a set & a break

[Linda]

Starting to wish I'd stayed in bed :crying:

[-J-]

need to get straight back in this andy
dont let him build on this

[Oscar]

It all seems very hard work from what I've seen - slow court I think after Dubai

[david1610]

Now keep it together Andy. One break. Work to be done through NOT getting uptight.
Focus. I'll say that again. Focus. Cut out the UEs. Work him round the court.
C'mon Andy!

Thanks but I've lost my Bet365 details and not signed up for tennis.tv.

So, does anyone have a lsh or sportlemon stream working?
My internet is being a bit slow which probably isn't helping.

[Hawkeye]

It all seems very hard work from what I've seen - slow court I think after DubaiAndy's problem is that the court is the same size as normal.

Must hold here. C'mon Andy!

[ljs]

Darrins not amused

[-J-]

andy hasto remember GGL hadnt taken a set off him previously, gotta dominate

[Fina]

Still fear that he's hoping Gl will make mistakes. Come on Andy.

[sid]

ATM Andy playing bad,way to many UE in his match,C'mon Andy find you game.

[Linda]

Maybe the memory of what happened here last year is affecting him :sad:

[patmoren]

Heading for a first round exit again? No energy

[Aussiemum]

Even Judy is shaking her head.

[Hawkeye]

Saves the point for the double break.

[Hawkeye]

Another point for the double break.

[Hawkeye]

And saved.

[Sallydaisy]

[Sallydaisy]

Deuce ............

Commies just got that wrong; they said he knew nothing about this player. That is rubbish - Andy's played him twice and beaten him easily!!!

Now come on Andy - time to fight back!!!

[-J-]

if anything GGL is stepping it up
must be full of confidence by now

[Hawkeye]

Andy with second serve with a new racket on BP...

[ljs]

ok once again my stream is on mute , hate these commies

[KnightOwl]

And another BP :sofa:

[-J-]

Deuce ............

Commies just got that wrong; they said he knew nothing about this player. That is rubbish - Andy's played him twice and beaten him easily!!!

Now come on Andy - time to fight back!!!both onn fast courts tho, need tofind a awy of dowing it on this virtual devil dirt court

[Sallydaisy]

Maybe the memory of what happened here last year is affecting him :sad:

Maybe ... and a late match, unused to the courts yada yada.

But he should be winning this easily and he knows it which is probably why he's getting frustrated!!!

Ad again to GGL.

[Hawkeye]

Andy hitting everything down the middle, because whenever he goes for width he's putting the ball out.

First serve percentage has plummeted too.

[JennieF]

Good morning everyone. I've just woken up.........and brought my laptop up to bed with a cup of tea and bowl of meusli! I now need a lvestream! Anyone? How's he doing???

[david1610]

Deuce. Thought it was a DF.... Phew.
Two points Andy.
