The match is first on in the evening session, so 3pm GMT Wednesday

You never know which Tipsy is going to turn up.

Have they played yet?

For those of you not able to watch live, try to watch a replay of the 9th game in the 3rd set.

Tipsy serving for the match, but Murray coverts a bp for the first time in the set. The winning point was stunning.

didn't watch the match but i think andy's bp conversion rate says enough.

Think Andy really still bit rusty after his break and admitted lack of doing very much.  Sounds though as if he was playing himself into decent form latterly in the match. 

Tipsy does seem to enjoy playing Andy and raises his game.  As Madeline said if he could just do it more consistently.

I suppose Andy is allowed to lose an ATP match below Masters level, last did so in Barcelona in April 2008 ( not counting Beijing Olympics in August 2008 ).

Anyway, got a couple more weeks to do more work and tune up his game and he should hopefully be all set for IW.

Bit late, but I meant to comment before on Andy managing to upset a second tournament organiser after the Marseille organiser felt he'd been mucked about a bit before Andy's final late withdrawal.

I must admit I'd already read of Andy's comments before I heard the organisers were so concerned.  I did kind of think they might not be happy to hear them.  Yes, he is being honest, but he is seemingly getting a lot of money to turn up there and to imply he was just in many ways practicing does noone any good.  Better if he had said he was a bit rusty after so many weeks out and hadn't been able to play much due to niggles which in many ways would apparently be true.  He just shouldn't have added the stuff that it was more just like a training week and he was trying stuff out.

Like Marselle, I do certainly think the organiser has a good point.  Again, like Marseille I very much doubt Andy will be penalised at all.  I do hope though that the ATP on occasions take time to remind the top players of their responsibilities.

I am sure other players are similarly guilty, just obviously we are more aware of Andy, and he may not be the worst. I do think though that he's probably quite far from the best re consideration for others.  

He really at times needs to consider others and also think what he is saying on occasion, i.e. don't lie but he didn't need to come out with all he did here which may seem to devalue the tournament.

All the top players have a greart life.  We need all the tournaments and sponsors we can get, more particularly for the lower ranked players.  They do need to sometimes remember ( or be reminded ) of their responsibilities.
