Andy/Dan vs Nishikori/Daniel Olympic dubs 1st round - day time tbc

Andy/Dan vs Nishikori/Daniel.

I can't find them on the oop for Saturday 27th.

I think they're playing a lot of Singles matches on Saturday.
Draper, Norrie, Evo and KatieB in action.

Murray and Evans are supposed to be playing today from 11am.

Andy and Dan 5th match on S. Lenglen court.

According to the BBC's website, it could be 5pm (17.00pm).

Draper has disposed of Nishikori in straight sets. Dan has required treatment for a bleeding knee after a fall but is at 6-2 4-4 now.

Taro Daniel has lost to Casper Ruud in straight sets so Daniel/Nishikori have more rest time than Dan.

Dan is now 6-2 4-6 so into a 3rd set!

Dan won 6'2, 4'6, 6'2. Hope he can recover properly ahead of the doubles!

Hopefully Dan ok for the Doubles, convincing enough in the 3rd though. It was pretty comforable for Jack, closer in 2nd mind you.

Andy and Dan on Eurosport 2 at 6 pm

Andy/Dan due on court very soon!

They are warming up. Watching on Discovery+.
The match is also on the red button channel. (970 Sky)

They are on BBC I-player too

Whooo they starting!

Probably his last pro match. So here I be.

No going well so far. Clay when fit, was always tough for him. With his hip and back he has almost no chance.

First set gone. This might be over quickly.

Japan take the first set 6'2.

I have it on BBC Red Button or just key in 601 to get direct to the channel.

Was on the wrong thread. They need to get going and get going fast.

Broken at start of the second. This is painful.

The Japanese have been sharp but not the best from Andy/Dan, now broken at start of 2nd! Need to step up.

Back on serve in second set. Can AM hold now?

AM held ... GBR are 5-4 in the 2nd set.
Any bets on how this will now go?
:lol:

5-5 in the 2nd set. Evo to serve for GBR.

Looks like they not quite ready to let it end now so battling hard to stay in. Hopefully they able to!!! COME ON ANDY MURRAY!!!

Well done!! They managed to snatch set. 1-1 now.

1 set all.
Champions tie-break to decide it .....
:sofa:
:coaster:
:help:

1 Set all.

Some fightback, hopefully can keep momentum going!

Japan lead 8-4 at the change of ends. Brits just got a mini-break back.

9-9 ...

Never ever write Andy Murray off .......
:lol:

GBR d JAPAN 2'6, 7'6(5), 11'9.

WOW! Amazing Andy Murray!!

How the **** did they do that?

Wow! wow! wow!!!
:coaster:

An astounding victory in the end saving 5 mps, really looked like it was too much ground to make up but Andy's determination along with Dan's very much in evidence. so Andy lives another day, hopefully more joy even if tension ahead!
:cheer::cheer::cheer:

That was AMAZING! Andy is not done yet!

It’s wonderful. Dan is jumping around like my puppy. You can see how delighted he is for Andy.

My elderly dogs were having a nice snooze until I woke them screaming like a banshee! MAGNIFIQUE Andy and Dan, what a pair. x

That was completely ridiculous!!!!

OMG..... my recording on Eurosport stopped at 7-3 in the match tie break. Can't believe my eyes. Woo hoo go Dandy!!!!!
