Hmmmm. Tiebreak. You have to think Querrey should win this.
Jinxed him nicely, didn't I?
I'm not sure you can take all the credit but you clearly deserve the lion's share
now if you could just post something about Querrey winning the next two sets easily and we'll be home and dry

You've just done it for me, but to make sure - Querrey to take the next two sets evileye

The last few minutes probably sum up why Wardy has never pushed on and become a top 100 player. He just goes into these spells in matches where he offers nothing.

Ah well. Obviously I'm only allowed one jinx per match. What a pity James had that "off" spell early in the set.

I have to go now. Fingers crossed for James to take it to a decider.

That was simply woeful. Just handed Querrey the break.

Gutting indeed, Wardy's outplayed Sam when he's been playing well, but he keeps on losing concentration and giving Querrey unasailable leads

Watching the BBC's Coverage and I must say with the exception of Ross Hutchins the coverage is shocking, already writing off James when its only 2-1 in the 4th, and pretty much saying Andy is g'teed to win on sunday. Fair enough he's favourite but its still going to be tough and its no gimmie. I'm speechless at how bad this is imo.

I am surprised that you are speechless. The BBC's tennis coverage has been pathetic for years.
