"Hass" means 'hatred' in German, I believe.

very long game, lots of deuces and seemingly long points (long rallies i guess)

Andy came very close to breaking shame he couldn't but hopefully next time - esp as that was the first time he really got near to the break on the Haas serve.

Andy starting to find his returns. Good news.

He's also running well around the court

But, it still feels like sparring.

Hopefully Andy can hold his serve, and then I get the feeling the game will start to hot up.

Annn-deeeee *whiney voice*

That's not the way to respond to almost breaking someone, got immediately 0-40 down.

15-40
oh marvelous time to throw in a double fault - do you realise how much sleep your fans are losing back here only to have you do this?

3-5

Unlucky for Andy on third point to go 0-40 with lucky net cord for Haas, but two double faults in a game is a problem.

Need a good return game from Andy to save set.

Things are not looking good. Bad miss from Andy at 15-30.

Game and set lost, as Andy started to look unhappy with himself.

Trainer on for Andy. Right foot. Spanish commentators suggesting he twisted it.

Correct that, from the treatment it's a blister below the big toe.

nasty, blisters are not fun.

46% first serve probs what let Andy down that set. Alongside not enough first serve points won when he does get them in and we see why Haas is the one with the break in that set.

Despite the blister Andy holds for 1-0.

Haas has changed into a white shirt with one yellow/green sleeve, one black. Better, but still not good.

Andy definitely not looking happy.
