he took the 4th 6-2 and has just had 3 match points against Moya's serve at 5-4 before Moya finally held, and the match was suspended at 2-2 5-5.

Wow, what a match. I broke my metatarsal at work today so had to come home and saw the whole thing. Couldn't get up the stairs so couldn't get hold of my computer lol, but can't believe how few posts there are on this thread. What an amazing match, and still god knows how long to go.

Can't believe how well Moya is volleying. Really surprised he hasn't done more on grass, he has the game for it. I'm a bit shocked because I assumed he wouldn't have a clue on the surface. What an amazing standard of tennis. Can't wait for resumption tomorrow.

Tim was 4-2* and 15-40 down in final set and came back to level it and had match points at 5-4. Think he had 4 in total but Moya served really well on them. In fact, Moya generally served well on all the break points. Great match, can't wait til tomorrow. Can always rely on Tim to serve up entertainment.

The lack of posts might have been cos everyone was glued to the tv! I certainly was, what a great match. I thought Tim was down and out after the third set but good on him for coming back. I really hope he finishes it off quickly tomorrow now smile

It's not all bad. I'm lying on the couch resting my foot getting ready to watch the tennis. If I was fit, I'd be getting ready to go to work in an hour. Hehe.

0-15 Mi**** return gets lucky

15-15 Service winner

30-15 Henman serves, volleys, and Moya's passing shot is called out. Moya challenges but the call was correct.

40-15 Nice aggressive play by Henman. Forces Moya back then ends it with a drop volley.

40-30 Great return off the 1st serve, whipped crosscourt off fh side for a winner

Deuce First serve down T, return straight at Tim and a poor volley allows Moya to hit fh straight at Henman, which he volleys into net

Ad Tim Service winner!

Game Tim. Another unreturned serve. BOOOOOM

8-7* Tim. Moya to serve

0-15 Henman attacks Moya's 2nd serve. Moya dumps into net

15-15 Now Henman jus slices Moya's 2nd serve back into play. Strange tactics. Moya hits a strong forehand and Henman can't get it back.

30-15 Another 2nd serve, this time Tim's backhand is well long. Can't keep missing 2nd serve returns.

30-30 Moya's only 1st serve of the game so far and Tim whips an amazing backhand return crosscourt and too low for the net rushing Moya.

40-30 Outrageous luck. Moya serve volleys and his backhand volley clips the net and just falls the other side of the net.

Game Moya. Tim misses yet another 2nd serve return long

8-8

15-0 Great second serve by Tim. Moya's bh return is mi**** way wide.

30-0 Great first serve this time. Takes Moya out wide and his backhand is a long way out.

30-15 Serve and volley on second serve, but Moya has plenty of time to come up with the pass.

40-15 This time Tim stays back on second serve and Moya lashes at a forehand and sends it well wide

Game Tim. Serve and volley on second serve again. Moya misses the pass.

Moya to serve at 9-8*

15-0 Tim mi****s a 2nd serve return into net

15-15 Moya serves and volleys behind 1st serve. Moya's volley isn't great and Henman whips a bh cross court

30-15 Henman blocks 1st serve return into net

30-30 WOW, that was Nadal-esque. Running forehand whipped down the line by Henman.

40-30 Bad miss by Tim after Moya put the pressure on by rushing the net.

Game Moya. Henman blocked return back but Moya's volley was good enough to force Henman to miss
