4th on court tomorrow, so not quite such an early start.

Not helped by Stan failing to win the match when he had 3 mp's at 6'3, Chardy taking the 2nd set tie-break and now they're into a 3rd. Wawa is deffo an REM (Rosti Eating Malingerer) if that's the Swiss term for muppetry like this.

Way to go Stan Wawrinka who finally beat Jeremy Chardy 7'6, 6'7, 7'5. Anyone would think that was a match against Karlovic.

So, it's be Stan in the Quarter-Finals for Andy (if he beats Lacko ..........)

1st set to Andy 6-1
Lacko won 9 points, 2 of them DF's by Andy in the final game

GSM Andy 6-1 6-2, in 57 minutes.
Very efficient.

Andy just playing doubles tomorrow.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

A 'close' hold takes them 3 - 0* up in second.

Serving for the 2nd set now * 5 - 3 (Jamie, I think)

Done ! And into the MTB I guess

Which has now started (5.40 am)

1 - 1 on serve

Julia Carrot · All-time great

Boys now broken for the 2nd time. Although broke back immediately after 1st break, now 5 - 6* down and need to do the same again.

Nope, despite a break point Butorac/Nieminen take 1st set 7 - 5

Julia Carrot · All-time great

The bros take the match.......

5 -7 6 - 3 10 - 4

They will be happy about that I am sure

excellent!

Hmmm. Second match tomorrow so probably about 5am UK time. No way I can get up at that ungodly hour (especially as I will be late to bed tonight), but it will be on tennistv so I should be able to rewind the stream and watch it later. I'll try to avoid seeing the result beforehand, but I'm not very strong-minded that way - I doubt if I can resist a peek.
