Wimbledon - Round 3: Andy vs Viktor Troicki

Drew · Jun 25, 2009

3 out of 3 for me probably lose just a handful of games in the process.

I presume this will be on Saturday.

So, who does Andy potentially meet in Round 4 again ? smile

Next round Stan the man or Jesse the.... anyway it could be Gonzo/Ferrero or Simon/hanescu in the QF.

Andy to win this for the loss of at most 10 games... as he continues to cruise through the tournament.

Troicki isn't up to much on a grass court and should be swept away with ease.

OOP is out.

Murray is 3rd on centre after Venus and Roddick.

Sigh. I have to be out from 5.30 to just after 7. I'll have to record it, but I can't just start it recording and leave it, because they are going to be switching channels at 5.40

That means messing about with the timer and I'll probably mess it up. . .

If Murray wins it will be Stanislas Wawrinka in round four.

The Swiss 19th seeds saw off Jesse Levine 5-7, 7-5, 6-3, 6-3, having been a break down in the second set.

Roddick's just finished off Melzer as well, so Murray on in a few minutes.

its really rainin very hard where i am (by hard park), thunder storms an all at the mo. if it heads like this to wimby they better get the roof closed sharpish.

Murray's on a mission to make sure he's off before the rain comes as he's 6-2, 4-1 up and absolutely cruising.

Troicki though isn't up to much and just has nothing to hurt Murray in the slightest.

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Murray's now a break up in the 3rd set. Won't be long before he's got this match done and dusted with another impressive performance.

GSM Murray 6-2, 6-3, 6-4.

Too good from Murray again, although Troicki wasn't particularly good and was never going to get a set, let alone win the match.

Serve was excellent again. Made more errors than he did in the last round but partly because he was going for his shots a bit more and they weren't all coming off, but never needed his attacking game to be at his best.

Wawrinka next should be a bit more of a test, but can't see him losing a set there as Wawrinka isn't that great on grass and has had a very easy route to this stage.

Flaming BBC!!!!!

According to the tv paper and the electronic program guide, the tennis was due to finish on BBC1at 17.40 move at 17.40 to BBC2 and continue on there until the end. So as the Roddick match was still on when I had to leave, I just set the recorder to record BBC 2.

So what do they do? They show the end of the Roddick match, much inane chatter, and then just as Andy and Troicki are finishing warming up, they transfer the whole bang shoot over to BBC 1!

I got home just as the second set was finishing, realised it was on BBC 1 and shot upstairs to change the recorder - so all I have recorded is the third set, which I was able to watch anyway.

I'm at Wimbledon on Monday so I'll have to set the recorder tomorrow and guess when and where Andy's match will be on. My chances of getting that right look remote. furious

Oh - and well done, Andy!
