I am now officially a complete nervous wreck.

This preference for breaking rather than holding serve - you have to admit it is different!

Andy wins.


Second serve, high bh drop shot return from Andy, Nieminen just reached it and took guard at the net. Andy lobbed him.


Next up Gasquet.

The bad news: Andy has failed to serve out a match 6 times (out of 6 I think) this week.

The great news: he's still gone on to win every match. I think this is all character building stuff for him (I still have loved to see him serve it out first time).

First time I have seen Andy sign the camera lens. I thought that was a WTA thing, I could be wrong.


Has anyone got Andy's autograph? Doesit usually include a smiley face?

Great stuff from Andy,hung in there against a tough opponent, serving poor as per usual, but the rest of his game just dandy..cannot wait for him to get his serve together, wont need to be much better either,


And still time for a light supper

I saw him do it yesterday although it was a bit neater today. Maybe he'd been practising over night. Not sure about the smiley face.

A cracking result in one the biggest games of his life.

If he can get his serve sorted he is going to be a formidable player.

Well, the pair of them played like women (as regards service breaks!)

Indeed. I enjoy speculating on how good Murray would be if he had a more consistent serve. He must be one of the most successful returners out there.

On this thought I had a look on the ATP website and Andy has won a higher percentage of points (this year) when returning than Federer or Nadal (and an equal percentage of games). I don't know how the rest of the tour compares. Needless to say I haven't compared how many points/games he's won on his own serve.

Andy Murray: World number 21 (possibly 22). Has a nice ring to it.
