A break to start the third was nice to see.

Really don't think Andy should accept anything less than 4R, and only if it is against Jerzy; Raonic is a great player, but I'd be more confident for some reason.

Edit: Never mind that, Jerzy was eliminated I see! wink

Well done, Andy. That was an opponent that can be very dangerous on his day (just ask Rafa)

He'd better buck up his ideas, then:  he broke Vesely in his opening service game & then again in the third, only to be broken twice himself, the second time when he was serving for the first set! hmm  He then proceeded to lose the tie-break by 2-7. bleh

I really don't know quite what to say about that first set. Andy's level was simply appalling.

Very, very poor. An excellent chance to defend some more points here, and he isn't going to climb back up the rankings without winning matches like this. And it's not even the other guy's excellence, because Andy has been baaaaaad.

Honestly the level of quality in this match is staggeringly bad. Only some quite ridiculous errors from Vesely has kept Andy in contention.

To be a little bit fair Vesely looks like a very awkward customer ( great defence/anticipation/deceptively good movement for a big man), that said Andy is still having a shocker.

One of the worst matches I have seen at this level for a long, long time. There is absolutely nothing positive to take from it. Andy only got through because Vesely's frankly hideous choking.


The only worse thing than the tennis was listening to Mark Petchey talk some of the most palpable nonsense in the history of sports broadcasting.
