but betterthan an injury which is what i was dreading

Andy serving at 2-6 0-0,

15-0,
15-15,
15-30, double fault,
15-40, oh dear,
can't buy a first serve,
broken

2-0*

He's at least getting into the Fognini service games a bit more, but can't really take advantage.

Not being able to hit out with the forehand has really hurt him in this match so far. If he does find a way to win this, and I'd never write Andy off even though it's not looking likely just now, it could be really, really, really ugly against Fed tomorrow with no real forehand.

Good hold there - *2-1

Break here, Andy.

15-40, 2 bp's!
30-40, 1st saved with an ace,
Deuce, well played Fabio,
Ad Fognini

3-1

15-40

Come on Andy, break here.

30-40 - ace down the T, no chance with it.
deuce - big first serve and into net for Fognini. :(
Ad Fognini - ace
Game Fognini - second serve, good return from Andy, came into net and was passed.

Dammit.

Andy needs to hold here after that. Not a great start as Andy dunks the ball into the net.

0-15.
0-30 double

Looks like this is it. :(

15-30 big first serve.
15-40 - great serve, went to net, Fognini made some good shots and then Andy used the drop again and again dunked it into the net.

Game Fognini - he's playing very well and Andy couldn't get the passing shot back.

Game over I think. *4-1

Getting killed is a bit more accurate. ;)

Two BP's again. Doesn't do much wrong in the first - Fognini hits a good shot to make it 30-40. Andy takes the second one though with a great return.

Comeback?

A hold here would be great, Andy.

0-15. Dammit.

 

so he got one break back?

Good! A comeback from here would be very sweet if at all possible Mr Murray!
