Damnit, should be up a double break now.

Hopefully Andy doesn't get broken back here, them 3 break points could be a turning point

Gasquet is up 2 sets but apparently rolled his ankle a couple of games ago. Trails *4-5 in the 3rd. If Simon could nick this set, you never know what might happen

Haas is serving 3-5, to stay in the first set.

15-0. ACE out wide.
30-0. Same again.
30-15. Backhand winner down the line off a soft second serve. He really got a hold of that.
40-15. Poor forehand error, but it seems he has some dust in his eye, so i'll excuse that.
40-30. Double fault.
GAME. Attempted pass fails to clear the net.

Andy leads *5-4

mkkreuk · Admin:Moderator + ATP qualifying

Andy is serving for the first set at 5-4.

0-15. Andy mis-hits the ball which flys off the frame of the racket.
15-15. The ball checks on the line and catches Haas on the wrong foot and he can't get the ball pack in play.
15-30. Haas gets a hold off the second serve and forces Murray to net.
30-30. Murray sets the point up nicely, stepping in and smashing the forehand crosscourt winner past Haas.
40-30. Unreturnable serve.
GAME AND FIRST SET, MURRAY. Another unreturnable serve.

Andy takes the first set 6-4.

Haas is going to start the set, just like he did in the first set.

15-0. Unreturnable serve. (Might have even been an ACE out wide)
30-0. Same again.
40-0. ...and a third time.
40-15. Double fault.
40-30. BEAUTIFUL pass, but Haas should have made it, but he thought it was going out.
GAME. Andy should have passed but he hits his running forehand into the net.

Haas leads 1-0 in the second set.

Andy's serving about as well as I've ever seen him. Playing good aggressive tennis too. I'm so excited about his chances this week.

Cue double fault lol

mkkreuk · Admin:Moderator + ATP qualifying

I have to agree, john. Very dominant serving.

Haas is serving at 1-1 in the second set.

0-15. Excellent pass.
0-30. Wonderfully angled backhand return forces and error.
15-30. Unreturnable serve.
15-40. Haas nets with his forehand. Tommy is really struggling, and that's largely due to excellent play from Andy but Haas looks a shadow fo his former self.
GAME. Haas can't pick up the volley.

Andy leads 6-4 *2-1
