Andy to serve.


commentator yakking about having list the picture, but I can see the court gone to a break now anyway so back to the livescore:


15-0.
40-0 (I like that kind of jump!!)
40-15.
second serve (picture back now) 40-30, Andy long.
good first serve. V went really wide on his second shot. He was slightly annoyed (ie yelled at himself!!)


2-2.

Andy looking tired and getting nothing on the FV serve...he will have to step his own serve up and get back into groove quickly....FV looks very spritely and if AM gives him a chance he could we take it and the match...so go Andy and step it up !!!!

Andy serving


40-15....really poor FH from Andy...40-30.....good serve and FV goes wide and long...

2-2

It's called Azaan. Must sound really weird near a tennis court....

Let's have it too!

Volandri to serve:


0-15, down the line, backhand, change of direction thing from Andy. winner, and great at that!
15-15, i think he follwed the last point up with a net.
30-15, Andy goes long.
30-30 (I may have got the last point the wrong way round, I'm confused!)
30-40, V right at the net, Murray just hitting it to him, almost like the warm up! eventually V went long.
game. Andy hits a really short ball, V runs forward to attack it and nets instead.


3-2 to Andy with a break, final set.

Wow, thanks for that Arka. No idea what it says but it's still good to see!


Andy serving.


second serve: 0-15, V hits a smash winner, Andy had no chance!
second serve: 0-30, some good shots from Andy at the net, but V got the forehand passing winner.
15-30, V goes wide, and yells, wasn't happy with that call. He looks slightly out of breath so I dread to think what Andy looks like!!
second serve: long rally, in which V nets. 30-30. Andy was just waiting for V to make a mistake in that point, and thankfully it payed off!
30-40, Andy wide on the cross-court lob.
deuce. great first serve. body serve, V nets in surprise.
ad ANdy, again Andy tricks V into opening out too much on the ball and V sends it wide.
another great first serve (the third in a row) and V goes long on the return.


4-2. Break here please Andy!

Volandri serving:


0-15, hehe
15-15, long rally. Andy went for the forehand down the line but forgot he was playing singles, not doubles.
30-15, Great backhand cross-court from Volandri, Andy tried to get to it but hit the boards at the edge instead.
40-15, Andy goes wide, but only just this time.
game, Andy nets. Hangs his head back in annoyance, but so long as he can hold....


4-3.

It roughly means...

Allah is Great; I know that there is no god except Allah; I know that Muhammad is the Messenger of God; Make haste towards prayer; Make haste towards good; Prayer is better than rest; Allah is greater than all; There is no god except Allah.

I don't speak Arabic. Just something I collected a few years ago...

Andy to serve at 4-3


good first serve: V nets in the rally.15-0
30-0, ace
40-0, super disguised drop shot with lots of side spin, V didn't get there in time and netted.
40-15, silly drop shot in the same place, but failed to get it over the net.
second serve (first of the game): game. net cord forced Andy to the net, V went wide (by quite a bit) on the passing winner.


5-2. Vol serving to stay in the match.
