Jimmy Connors said that Andy has to prove to him self and his peers that he can throw everything into a match...even when it seems hopeless.....Andy must for his own sake throw the kitche nsink at turning this around...then if he looses then fair enough...but he cannot just give up...unless he is really injured !!!



Thing is Drew, if you have a bad blister, even holding a raquet can be nigh well impossible

15-0. a good first serve.


30-0.


30-15. Murray challenges a ball but is proved wrong.


40-15, C makes the mistake that time. and it's during a rally which is good for A - he let it last more than 3 shots.


second serve. game. should have been from a fh down the line winner but C reached it so it was a C ue instead.


4-1.

Problem is that 4-0 is two breaks. One break and I'd still give Andy a big chance given his returning ability.

Andy serving:

15-0

30-0

40-15

Finally a game on the board in this set, 1-4

I played raquet sports a lot...and know the pain it can bring...honest

Anyway Andy digs out a hold so its 4-1

Blisters shouldn't really be a problem with the taping equipment the ATP trainers have available

BBC:

Murray 6-7 (3-7) 1-4 Clement
Nothing's working for Murray - even his challenge of a call proves to be well wide of the mark. But he does at least hold serve to get on the board in the second set/

Murray 6-7 (3-7) 0-4 Clement
Murray's mood is now as black as Clement's shades. The Frenchman enjoys a comfortable hold. All he needs to do is keep in the ball in play and Murray's erratic play will do the rest.

Mkk I can believe what you said about the blisters causing probs on the forehand he has been majorly favouring the bh. Not to the point of running around the fh but certainly placing the ball so C will hit it to his bh.


second serve. 0-15. double fault.


second serve. 15-15, fh long, Andy talking to himself again, good sign I think.


30-15, short, nothing bh from Andy and C punishes it to hit the winner.


40-15, unreturnable serve.


game C. A nets the return.


Andy bites his finger, not sure what he hopes to achieve by that but I think its safe to say that blister is hurting him.
