andys groundstrokes seem very ordinary and are not deep enough. k is coming in a lot and volleying well. andys passing shots seem slow!

Andy, he seems to struggle being the favourite, he rarely has a starighforward match against someone he should beat, he is at his best as the underdog.

Well Andy can still be the underdog in tournaments. He just needs to realise that he will have to get to the QF's at least for that to happen!

Kendrick just scrapes a hold, then Andy holds to love. That's better! Hopefully Kendrick's "purple patch" is coming to an end

this is weird to watch. When you look at the way Andy treated roddicks serve and groundstrokes at Wimbledon its strange to watch him struggle here. He's not playing that great anymore and seems rushed when passing. Kendrick is doing what roddick shouldve done and he's coming in behind big shots.
Andy just played a great game with deep groundstrokes and wins it to love! much better? where did that go? think he might be a bit rattled by the crowd now too!
