anyone have any idea why R5 arnt covering this match? it's not exactly peak listening time and not much else is happening in the world. they didnt cover his lee match either. had this been the hen man in the latter stages of a defending champion tournament at 3am they would have covered every point. is it some kind of BBC anti-scottish sentiment or something?
0-15, DF. second serve. 15-15, return out. Rod really hit that one and went long second serve. quite a weak return from Rod sets up the rally, Rod hits a down the line winner - Andy's there. And a second, Andy's there, this time the drop shot and Andy cant get there. 15-30. good point 30-30, Andy hits a drop shot this time. Rod nearly gets there but ball into net 30-40, ue from Andy return halfway up court, response into net. second serve. deuce. Ace down the T. really gutsy second serve. Stupid almost but it paid off! ad Rod, Andy into the net on a cross-court fh. second serve. deuce. Rod comes into the net, hits a couple of volleys, drop volley, Andy gets to hit and whips his racket at it, curls around Rod and drops in. Amazing. Rod claps him. ad Andy, another groundstroke rally. Rod hits the fh dtl approach, and hits net instead. game, return just long. good hold there from Andy in the end.
2-1.

Good hold there - saved two BPs including playing a great point on the second. And Roddick applauded so it looks like normal service may have resumed with him.
No commentary on the eurosport coverage though which is annoying. :(
