40-15

2nd serve, 40-30, Davy overcooks the cross court bh and goes wide.

2nd serve, 40-15, Davy nets, and walks back grumpily to the baseine.

Strange, my livestream was ok in that game, but the problem you describe is what I was having earlier.

Davy's having some success when he gets in to the net, but thankfully, Andy's serve has improved and he's trying to keep him on the baseline. smile

Seems to be no hard feelings between them - very cordial towards each other at the net.

Excellent stuff from Andy. His court coverage in particular is superb, even better than it used to be I think. smile.gif

Like you, Mad, I noticed that they seemed to be pretty friendly at the net ... or at least, Andy was, and from the look opn Kolya's face, there were no hard feelings. I imagine the players must know that other players' comments (not to mention their own reactions) are often blown out of all proportion by the media.

I guess Andy must be playing for a place back in the top 10 tomorrow ... and he should now be assured of avoiding the top 4 seeds at the AO until the QFs.
