Fish is 2-1 up with a break  and up a set. So with any luck he can wrap the match up by 12.45am. Then the one remaining set in the Genepri / Goldstein match say until 1.30am. So by 3.00am Andy should have won !!!!

Well, I haven't got Eurosport!   How come Andy's been broken already?  Any news VERY welcome!   (For the record Ratty's mate showed up and just finished tidying up after his abrupt departure)

Maybe because he's not wearing his cap- first time I can remember him playing without it for ages.


 


Come On Andy, wake up!

It was a bit of a strange set. Andy started very poorly and chucked in two DF's and a couple of errors. You could see why he likes to be receiving first in a match to be honest. After that though he was better, and started getting a good look at Robredo's serve and even held his own serve to love and then he played this weird game and in fairness, Robredo played it well and got broke straight after he'd taken Robredo to deuce.

He's a break down at the start of the 2nd and he's just not playing anywhere near good enough to win. I don't know if it's the conditions or if it's just a bad day, or if Robredo just has his number, but he's not playing well at all.

0-3 down with Robredo serving. I think Andy looks confused that he's not playing that well. He's trying to hit the lines and missing and in fairness to Robredo, he knows he doesn't have to be that perfect and as such is just waiting on Andy to make mistakes. He's serving well though.

Andy been broken again.  Just not playing so far, plenty of unforced errors.  Maybe a point in that last game sums everything up, looked like a fairly straightforward smash and Andy just completely missed the ball.  commentators called it an air shot.   It does look windy and cold, but same for both players.  Andy not got long left to turn this around.  Not seen any stats yet

No bagel anyway. Two quick breaks and he's right back in it. ;)

I think Robredo's handling the conditions better - that simple. He's using his experience and knows he doesn't have to go for massive serves and perfect shots in these conditions and Andy's just not adjusted.

Murray just won his first game in the second set.  Too windy...too passive...too many mistakes.....4-1 down...sorry can't post more....bed time here and I need to get the kids down.  They were being so good until they realized there was something that we really wanted to watch on tv.....


Signs of hope....15-30....come on break here if there is any hope....
