The Fogmister and Murray have a strange head to head. Fog has beaten Murray 3 times, when Murray was prime, so now Murray is not prime and Fogmister is playing better than ever, this should be a walk in the park for the Fog.
Well, no 'walk in the park' so far....
Foggy won the first set, just, in a TB
Andy has walked the second set 6-2 (although Foggy pretty much gave up at the end, as is his wont)
Well, Andy broke twice, and served for the match twice.
And Fognini absolutely reeled Andy in, spooking him, getting under Andy's skin, not by the tennis but by his in-your-face antics. Andy is livid. And with Fergus Murphy for allowing it.
But Andy really got sucked into Fog's messing around there.
I saw the report of the spat, can anyone elaborate on what happened please, and who was umpiring?
See my post higher up - it was Fergus Murphy.
Fog was being in-your-face Fog.
i.e. he shouted out as Andy hit the ball and when Andy gave him a look afterwards, he shouted out 'don't look at me!'.
As flamigowings says, all very childish but quite effective - everytime Andy tried to challenge him, Foggy would just smile, and laugh, and make it look like Andy was making a mountain out of a molehill.

CD - I can't swear on this board, child is being "nice"!
But hey, we all remember #spideycamgate and #feathergate and that match with Novak at the AO (was it a final..it probably was) where he was rope-a-doping. All which cost Andy as he ended up losing concentration.
