Ferrer is miss a lot, Andy is missing a bit but he is also hitting winners and he is managing to frustrate Ferrer by moving him arround and mixing up the pace and spin etc.
Also Andy is serving and returning better so he is getting the first strike in most rallys and he is not doing anything stupid like attempting a drop shot.
Sounds great. That's been one of Gilbert's first moves, cutting down the drop shots which Andy plays which is a great move, he was hitting so, so many and it was so predictable
Niall, would you say that the Andy you've seen in the past couple of weeks is a more aggressive player than pre-Gilbert ? Is he really attacking and looking to take on the mid-court ball instead of just rallying ?
A smash into the bottom of the net from Ferrer - that's club-player stuff. He really must be rusty, he's only been out of action for a week though !!! Didn't think that'd be a problem for a pro but obviously so.
30-30 on the Ferrer serve
What was Swiss Teletext like for Andy matches, Mad ?
What a winner. Ferrer hit a good appoach shot into Andy's fh corner and followed it in, Andy ran onto the ball and hit it strait up the line into the opposite corner. I think it is safe to say he his feeling confident.
