How about letting us know how well they are playing?




Sorry if posts are few and far between, but I'm not the fastest on the keyboard at the best of times, and it's 2:25 am here, and I've just got in from the pub.

I've already managed to "lose" a long post.

Andy (always Andy for our boy) playing quite well, but looks very tired. Roddick looks very fired up.

For fashion followers, both wearing white socks, shorts and caps, black tops. Roddick Lacoste, Murray Fred Perry.

Haven't seen a close up yet, but looks like Andy's wearing a support bandage on his left foot.

Confirmed, looks like quite a strong support.

Anyone know if that's been common recently?

Andy's talking to himself a lot, and doesn't seem happy, but does well to hold serve under heavy pressure.

Roddick goes 30-15 up on the Murray serve after a long rally with good shots from both players.  Thankfully, Roddick goes a foot long in an attemped passing shot when Murray comes in to the net and it's 30-30.  Full credit to Roddick, fantastic shot down the line to earn a break point.  After duece, Murray plays a low cross-court shot for advantage.  Back ro duece.  Roddick makes plays an aggresive shot down the line during a rally to earn break point #2.  Back to duece with an UE from Roddick... this post is getting too long!  Break point #3 now, this is getting tough, but a great ace out wide and back to duece.  Roddick goes long with an attemted winner and Murray has another chance to close out the game.  Finally!  An UE from Roddick and it's 3-3!

At 40-0, it looks to be an easy hold Roddick, but at 40-15, he serves a double fault.  A good 2nd serve and it's 4-3, pressure back on Murray.

3-4 Roddick with serve.

Andy currently giving ammunition to the "grumpy teenager" moaners.

As a side note, at every change of ends they announce adverts to the crowd. Very annoying.

Just making sure!


Okay, at 0-30, it looks worrying, but it's soon 40-30 to Murray.  A long rally ends with a great Roddick backhand, duece.  A clean winner from Roddick, and he earns yet another break point.  Murray just waits for an UE, and Roddick obliges, duece.  A wonderful volley from Roddick gives him break point, and a poor volley which goes into the net makes it 3-5.

Roddick races to 30-0, and is looking strong, he then wins 3 set points.  Only 1 needed with an ace out wide.
