RE: Wimbledon - semi-final: Andy vs Andy Roddick


Yes, I'm another one that is very grateful for the point commentaries when I have not been able to watch a match. It gives a much better flavour of how the match has gone - a score can be 6-1 with every game closely contested, or go to a tie-break with all service games being won to love (Karlovic v Roddick anyone? laughing.gif )

Federer beat Haas 7-6(3), 7-5, 6-3 so Andy will be on soon.

AM looks pretty composed right now, getting Roddicks serve back is key.

a mistake to receive 1st? he won the toss. if you cant break it always put pressure on at the end of a set.

I've said time and time again it's a mistake because the negatives by far outweigh the positives but he still does it time and time again.

Andy has come out firing in the second set and now leads 2-0*.

I think that set was the best I have seen Roddick play.

i've seen boggo do it a lot too. yes in a way it gives you a 'free' game at the start to get your eye in, and hope your opponent can't find his serve straight away. but if it back fires you end up serving to stay in it twice which can be tough, and if you do get broken your opponent serves 1st at the start of the 2nd. so its an even worse decidion in best of 3 sets matches.

This is a great match, even though unfortunately our man is 2 sets to 1 down. I was tempted to head down to SW19 this morning, however, I'm going to see a show at 19:30, so I cleverly decided to watch it in a wetherspoon's less than a minute from the theatre instead smile.gif

I now just hope that Murray can win within the next 80 minutes!

Since when did Roddick become so good at the net?

I may be in a bar surrounded by tough looking men, but if Murrby loses this match in a 4th set tie-break, I think I'll cry.

C-MON ANDY M!
