ATP Indian Wells QF : Murray v Haas

Ignore him Andy! He's just worried about what the papers will say if you beat him with half a dozen injuries, he's trying to make them think he's not fully fit either.

Madeline, I agree. the change of ends on the scoreboards are endless, eternal, and excruciating. (you see, soo bad I must alliterate)

Don't forget exhausting

I always wonder when Haas does this - he has very clearly used this in the past to disrupt the rhythm of the match to work for an advantage.

I don't know - we'll have to give him some benefit of the doubt.

Wouldn't it be great if Haas just retired!

scoobsuk · Club Coach

Trainer is on for 3 minutes to give Haas a leg rub.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

he is just having his legs rubbed, not a proper injury.

scoobsuk · Club Coach

He's back up.

Now let's see if that worked for him or not.

What's Andy doing? He should get up and practise some serves, just to prove to Haas how fit and raring to go he it!

steven · Tennis legend

Oh dear, it seems to be working so far ... 0-15

Andy loses the first point with a poor drop shot attempt that goes wide. Shoot to Brad who looks like he wants to shoot him.

Edit: Andy then follows it up with an attempt at the same shot at 15-15. This time it goes in but Haas gets there easily. Andy is VERY lucky is Haas puts a fairly easy shot long.

TB time!!

Andy's prowling the baseline waiting to serve. I don't know if that's good. Haas is up now.

Come on Andy - don't let his dodgy tactics bother you.

0-15 - another attempted drop? Why Andy??
15 all - Haas is out by like a millimetre on the sideline.
30-15 - ANOTHER attempted drop but Haas pushes it wide. No more drops, Andy!!
40-15 - Haas goes long.
Game Murray - Haas nets a drive volley.

TB. C'mon, Andy.
