LOL! Well, living in halls at the moment I do have a few more cushions available that I can 'borrow'! however, I was hoping to save them for next week when I think they'll be most needed!

15-0 a good start.
15-15.
15-30 Andy what are you doing?

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

Oh no, 15-40 - come on Andy, do you really want to be responsible for the early demise via heart attack of several of your supporters?

30-40. I don't believe it. This was NOT in the plan.
game Seppi. Seppi gets the vital break in the final set and leads 3-1

Not looking good, a mountain to climb here.

Come on Andy, you can do it, you like brinkmanship that's all. . .

Uh oh, that is not good! I have a feeling that Murray will let his temper and frustration get ahead of him, and that he will lose now.

Has Murray not been playing well today?

Seppi holds to 15. According to the Beeb Andy is getting upset with himself. Hopefully he can hold serve easily here and get the momentum back. Seppi leads 4-1

Andy serving: 15-0...15-15(double fault his second in as many games)...30-15...30-30 (the first serve has deserted him again)...30-40. If Seppi breaks here i can't see Andy coming back. game Seppi.

Seppi leads 5-1. I'm afraid that's probably it.

1-5. Looks like he has blown it.

You only blow something if you had a chance in the first place....the result was never in doubt!

I'm afraid I haven't a clue either way, have just been following the Beeb game by game commentary and the scoreboard. From the beeb it sounds like he's not playing terribly but not great either. Just kind of average, but that's very imprecise as they do tend to go overboard in either direction!

40-15 to Seppi, two match points.

Seppi wins 76(4) 46 61.

Oh well. At least this means Andy will be fresh for Wimbledon next week.

Yup, thought that that would happen. He needs to get his head sorted in these situations and not let his frustration overcome him. He desperately needs a coach!

On the bright side, he's got more time to rest before wimbledon.

Unfortunately he's 5-1 down, i think any chance of a comeback is unlikely unless he does a safina!!

15-0, 15-15, 30-15, 40-15 3 MPs.

Seppi wins 7-6 4-6 6-1

Unfortunately it wasnt andys day today despite stats showing he served better than Seppi! at least he got the three matches he wanted in order to prepare for wimbledon! On to WIMBLEDON!!!
