Seppi races to a 40-0 lead, looks like we're heading to a tiebreak.
Madeline I think Andy must have misheard when being told that, he heard 'you're NOT expected to HOLD serve'.
6-6 tiebreak
Murray to serve first. 0-1 (his first double fault of the match) Seppi serving 2-0. 2-1 Murray gets the minibreak back (now hold serve points, remember) Murray serving 2-2 3-2 very good. Now get more minibreaks please! Seppi serving: 2-4 (Andy's listening!!)

This is the first match I have been able to follow this week. Have they all been like this?
I don't know, it's the same for me. I beginning to think it's better for my sanity to avoid Andy's matches and just read the thread through at the end! Although, we can't say he's not the rightful heir to Tim in terms of rollercoaster matches!
Seppi wins three more points to lead 5-4 back on serve with a minibreak. come on Andy.
6-4 Seppi has two set points. The first on his serve. and takes the first. well everyone who went for Andy in 2 were wrong. Can he turn it around and win in three?

Do you think it will help if I vote now that Andy will lose? It might spur him on!
It's worth a try, can't do any harm!
A much better start from Andy, pushed Seppi to deuce on the opening game and then held to love. Keep it up! Seppi holds to 30 that time. Another love service hold please Andy. Step up a level and watch Seppi fall away in panic.

I think Andy does better if I go off and do a chore or 2! 1 all. This board is so slow it is like the bad old days of "you have just posted..." By the time you have written a post the match is 2 games further on.
Yeh mines going slow as well, don't know why though!
