RE: USO R1 - Murray v Kendrick

It looks like the 86.2% who went for straight sets won't be right...

No we don't have it on TV here....we have been watching Sharapova walking around the grounds here.....why show live Tennis or give an injury update when you can watched taped stuff of a player walking around the grounds????

I have no idea if Andy is hurt but this is shocking.

The BBC livescores were delicately suggesting that Andy was tanking this set, but he stops the rot and holds his serve. Kendrick to serve for the set at 5-1 though.

Keith · Intermediate Club Player

I went for Andy in 4.

Can someone, anyone, with TV coverage tell us what's going on?

Is Andy injured?

Is it just his sponsorship deal with the cushion manufacturers?

Montana Doug · Futures qualifying

The Beeb have not mentioned a problem so I can only think that Andy wants to make life interesting out there....

thats what i thought was happening...once he went down 3-0 or 4-0 he just start relaxing and not trying to hard

well, looks like it's going to be Andy who gets the breadstick

he holds serve to 15 but Kendrick serves for the set at 5-1. I just don't understand what can be happening. The beeb guy says that Kendrick has improved a bit and Andy just appears 'disinterested in the rest of this set'.

62 16. Get your act together now Andy please.

kendrick breaks in the opening game of the third set!

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

Oh good grief. I can hardly bear to watch the scoreboard. The cushions - and the cat - are in imminent danger

imoen · Admin: Moderator+Tennis Legend

Well you can't say Brad has nothing to work on now!

I just don't know what to think. And now Andy is struggling on his serve in the third.

And he's broken.

According to the stats, his serve percentage is no worse than usual (it's in the low 40s). but Kendrick hit 15 winners in that last set to Andy's 5.

the beeb have just said that Kendrick 'hit top form' so maybe he's just surprised Murray and Andy's trying to adjust. He just better do it quickly.

30-30 on Kendrick's serve. Break Andy Break!
