H2H is 1 all, but they haven't met since the Dark Ages (well, Adelaide 2006!)

Tomas' 1st serve stats are pretty impressive - especially the average speed

Round one: 71% 1st serves, 86% pts won
Round two: 60% 1st serves, 84% pts won, av speed 208
Round three: 55% 1st serves, 93% pts won, av speed 206

Let's hope it turns into a mental game.

I hope the weather isn't like this for Queens and Wimbledon.

EDIT: Confirmed, Andy is up fourth and last on Court Suzanne Lenglen tomorrow. First match on that court gets under way at 11:00am local time, and it's two women's singles matches followed by a men's singles and then Andy's match. Which means Andy's match should be starting about 6pm or 7pm tomorrow evening.

I do hope you are right. AM.com estimates 3pm, the Beeb 4pm.

I can only get it on Freeview and their tennis coverage - apart from an early afternoon slot - doesn't start until 4.20. I could fill in the gap with the livestream (if it doesn't buffer like mad like it did the last time I tried to watch part of one of his matches on it) but I can't record that, and I usually record Andy's matches to watch in the off season.

 

It'll be shown on Freeview?!?! More information required please! Anything is an improvement over my BBC interactive stream shutting down every 15 minutes whilst I'm trying to watch Andy's matches!

Oh. Red button is what I meant. It keeps dying on me right in the middle of Andy's matches. Plus I can't record off Red Button! I thought you meant on the actual Beeb. Lol, nice to know I'm not the only one who does that - I also record and keep my favourite matches and then watch them, during the off-season but also my favourites matches I will sometimes curl up with of an evening - especially in winter. I have to admit though - I caved after Wimbledon 2008 as I couldn't face not being able to watch the American hardcourts season and got a Sky Box. It's had it's annoying niggles from time to time, but the coverage has been great and the box is very good (most of the time) in recording vast quantities of matches - my recordable DVDs just don't have the time capacity, but the box will record three matches in a row, eight hours, no problems.

EDIT: It's almost 4pm now and Cilic and Soderling are only 3-2 in the first set. If we get a straight sets victory it could be about 2 hours more, taking us up to 6pm... but if it turns into an epic five setter, Andy might not be on court until 8pm.

3 or 4pm?!?! The matches start at 11am local time, which is for starters an hour ahead of us, so read as 12pm GMT... then you have two women's matches, say an average of 1 and a half hours each, maybe longer if they're three setters, that takes you to at least 3pm GMT... then you've got a men's match which has the potential to go five sets, so that's going to be at least 2 hours, probably more given that the match up is no walkover... so a 6pm or maybe 7pm start sounds about right to me.
