Another rain delay! I thought the roof had been closed! confuse

No, they stopped when the first few spots didn't worsen.

Poor Andy. I hope this interruption, at the worst possible time for him, doesn't put him off. C'mon, Andy, four aces would do it nicely!

Have to go out. Hope Rog hasn't stage the most miraculous recovery since Lazarus by the time I log on again!

Woohoo - Andy wins 6-4 6-4. Closing the roof didn't save Fed this time.

Brilliant game from Andy to get the break from *40-0 in the second get, and a pretty effective performance for the rest of the match too.

Cheers, Steven, I have now tweeted the double figures wins against a certain Roger Federer stat smile

PS : I'm err pretty sure it's right ( well the Fed bit is and i don't think I've missed anyone )

Nice performance and a nice result. Love to see Andy playing this aggressive.

Andy was class again.

Thought he played really well. 4 & 4 a bit flattering for Federer even!

I do believe Roger is the first player Andy's got to double figures in ATP victories against, with the top 4 being I think :
1. Roger Federer 10 - 8
2. Gilles Simon 9 - 1
3. Fernando Verdasco 8 - 1
Stanislas Wawrinka 8 - 4
Novak could join the 8s tomorrow ( currently 7 - 8 )

Great stat - I'd like to tweet it, but while I can put it the way I'd like to in 140 chars, I can't fit in a credit to you as well (and I don't want to tweet it without crediting you), so if you can be bothered to tweet ...

If you'd asked 1000 people in 2005 who'd be the first player Muzz would get 10 ATP wins against, how many would have said Roger Federer?

... I'd be very happy to RT it!

Very well done Andy!

Nice stat too!

Will miss the final - good luck Andy - you know what you have to do!!

By the way Steven, one of your earlier tweets was wrong. You said Andy is 13-0 (+1 WO) in Shanghai. It should be 12-0 (+2 WO) as he also had a WO in the second round last year.

Andy holds & the first set is in the bag by 7-5 after an hour & a quarter (& one badly mangled racket - NoDjo's! wink ). smile First set NoDjo's dropped all week!
