That's the match which will determine Dan's opponent in tbe last 64 & it won't be a cakewalk for Jack.
You were saying?
Although to be fair, I suppose it wasn't a cakewalk, it was breadsticks instead

I did say when I posted the result that it proved to be far easier than I expected - & I'm delighted to have been proved wrong.

Well done Jack - definitely favour him to beat Evo but dont mind who wins it.

Thats the first time Ive actually been able to watch Jack in a long time. I know Riedi didnt play his best but that was as impressive it could possibly be in my view. That forehand is a proper shot.

Andy a (very poor) break down. Strap in folks!

Loses the first set on a tie break to a winner that was in by 1mm thats how close the first set was. Murray seemed to be on top for most of that set just couldnt make the break points count. Sore one that. Needs a 6-2 set here or similar.

Jaffa · Challenger level

This is a great match. Not sure if Ill make it to the end cos it has 7-6 in the decider vibes to it

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Well maybe not because Andy races through the set 6-1, key stage was the break point he saved at 1-1. Looks in complete control now. But its Andy so who knows what happens next.

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Murray angry with himself not to break at the start of the final set there. Could be a massive point here. Andy wins that he coasts away.

Strongbow · All-time great

Great hold from Andy for 2-2 after 2 chances to break - great stuff.

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Andy seems to be in control of most of the points on his opponents serve but just when hes close doesnt quite get there. Hes still the best player here, needs to find a way though. Just hope he doesnt throw it away in frustration. Its his game to win/lose in reality.

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Typical Andy saves two break points at 3-4 remarkable first point and closes for 4-4. Time for him to make his move now surely.

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

3 break points 40-0 for Andy. Surely this time.

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

For the third time in the match Andy fails to convert from 0-40. Mental the amount of break points he is not taking here.

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Earns another break point. His 20th of the match. Can he take this one?
