Players have just arrived on court. Andy's bald patch looks very noticeable as he walks on court.
Andy wins as his opponent retires with Andy leading 7-5 2-0.
And the audience sang happy birthday to Andy but they were very out of tune. lol.
A great start for Andy.
And the Happy Birthday singing was very cute
Well done Dan and Andy! Pity Andy's match was curtailed but still looked relatively positive.
I saw the clip of the audience singing happy birthday to Andy, he seemed to be a bit embarrassed by it. Well done to him and Dan.
Dan plays Mayot around 3 pm today
Andy plays Barrere not before 7 pm tonight.
Matches are being delayed by rain - again!
Wahey - Evo has won in 2 sets.
:GBflag:
Players on court. It's also live on the ATP Tour YouTube channel.
Andy not at the races so far, 4-0 down. Should have won the first two games.
Andy looked like he was going to win the first game, until that disputed line call. I hope he can do better in the second set.
Andy having a torrid time out there. Seems to be moving ok. Hope he starts better in set 2. Come on, Andy x
Bagel avoided as Andy breaks for 5-1 and then holds for 5-2.
Fighting back!
Now *5-4... Without those first two games this set would be won!
First set to Barrere, 6-4.
Andy loses the 1st set as his mate Stan loses both sets and is out.
Andy broken to love, *2-1.
Barrere breaks again, *4-1.
:nailbiter:
That's one of the breaks back... 4-2*.
Double break restored, and Barrere will serve for the match.
That's that. Pretty disappointing.
:crying:
Disappointed for Andy.
Certainly a bit of a blow, almost recovered in the 1st but little impact thereafter. suppose 1st tournament back, good for Dan though.
:crying:
So sad for Andy. Not sure how the next few months will go; do desperately want him to go out with a bang. (As a Liverpool supporter, wanted the same for Jurgen and look what happened there). Onwards and upwards. xx
Mmm - that was a shame
