Week 44 - ATP Valencia 500 SF - Andy v Fernando Verdasco (ESP)

Wot no thread yet?

Andy leads the H2H 6-1, but the first five wins were before Nando pulled his socks up and became the player he is today. And the last win, he had a bit of an injury. He is the sort of hard hitter to whom I feel Andy is a bit vulnerable. Plus, Verdasco is fighting to confirm his place at the O2. From all of which you may gather I'm not confident of a win for Andy today, especially as he will be wishing to avoid injury while his opponent will want to put it all on the line. . .

I'll miss the start of this as I won't get in until 7pm. Fingers crossed.

You beat me to it by a matter of minutes (must have posted while I was typing), so have deleted mine.

Wow!  Mikhail Youzhny's just beaten his compatriot, (2) Davydonkey, by 3-6 6-4 6-3, so if Andy can see off Verdasco, he faces an unseeded opponent in the final.  That said, Youzhny seems to be on a bit of a roll...  Andy really could do with taking the title, given that NoDjo's through to the final in Basel... hmm

I have fingers crossed, but am doubtful about the outcome of this match. As Mad says, Nando has got a grip of himself and realised just how potent a player he can be. eek.gifHope our boy's at the top of his game.

Yes, I'm watching it on Betfair.

Been a bit of a boring match, neither player playing great (and that might be a bit kind) Verdasco went completely off the boil at the end of the first set after starting the better player.

Verdasco leads *2-1 in the second set.

Murray holds for 3-2 in the final set. He had a lot of break points in Verdasco's last service game but Verdasco seems to be playing the nicer tennis.

Verdasco throws in a lousy game and Muzzabear breaks for 4-2.

Murray holds for 5-2* and is just a game away now. But he's not playing particularly well - Verdasco's just making a lot of unforced errors.

Big Fern holds to 15 and it's Murray to serve for the match...

If Verdasco had been slightly on his game tonight, he would have won.
