What! No Andy Murray Thread?

[DALNEIGHCALEY]

Tennis is brilliant to watch ......................

If your having trouble getting off to sleep .

[Mee]

Another heathen Still at least you didn't try to pass that off as an opinion :thumb04:

[DALNEIGHCALEY]

Not an opinion MEE , its FACT .

[Mee]

Less coffee and more sex would probably sort that one out for you

The Order of Play is out, Andy v Verdasco is the 4th match on HiSense Arena - after 3 R4 Womens singles so I'm thinking it could start anywhere between 4.30am and 6.00am (or even later) - the Beeb haven't made up their minds yet when they think it'll be on.

Verdasco will be the trickiest opponent yet for Andy but still I don't think he'll be able to take a set off him. Their H2H is 5-0 in Andy's favour and the only leftie to ever beat Andy is Nadal. Looking good!

Good scrap on just now between Djokovic & Baghdatis

2 sets to 1 for Djokovic, but Baghdatis coming onto his game.

Djokovic ran out winner at the end, but tough game, much harder than Murray has encountered so far.

Baggy did well in the third set but lost his way again in the fourth. He should never have got his hair cut! I really don't like Djokovic, if he's losing he'll pretend to be injured and take a medical time out to try to disrupt his opponent. I think he'll struggle to defend his title, Roddick shouldn't be too much of a problem for him but then he'll most likely meet Federer in the SF and that will be that (hopefully). If Del Potro manages to beat Fed though he'll more than likely make it to the final. And I feel Andy has a date with destiny with Fed there....

[Mee]

This match is one of the strangest I've ever seen. Andy's had the flu apparently but he's been blowing hot and cold - it's 6-2 1-6 6-1 and 1-4 in the fourth. I've been up since midnight and seen 2 retirals and loads of weird tennis. Thank god I have to go to work soon! Get some relief from all this stress!!!

2 sets all, he lost that one 3-6.

Can't believe I have to miss the end of this match now, this set has been fantastic!

Deuce 3-2

C'mon Andy!

Looks as if he's gone the way of Flodden, the Darien Scheme and Argentina 1978.

I picked up the "f" word several times from Andy on my bedroom telly....

Lucky he didn't get himself sent off...

Eh Mannie?

[tm4tj]

Far too easily ruffled in this match. He definitely had the beating of Verdasco, but that is all history now.

It's all in his head, maybe he got too arrogant and dismissed the Spaniard. Live and learn son.

[Mee]

Oh Andy!!!! :018: :thumb04: It's my fault, if I'd been there to scream at the telly then I'm sure he would've won! ;)

Still now at least that half of the draw is clear for my other favourite... If he beats Nadal

[tm4tj]

Oh well, with Andy out and the media hype dying a death, I see Federer has cruised into the final.

Now his oppnent could wll be the conqueror of Andy Marray. Verdasco is one set ahead of Nadal, but this is a tough match and could go either way. Federer Nadal final would be everyones choice, but Verdasco is still in with a shout.

At least there's a brit in one of the Aussie open finals,wee Laura Robson, one to watch for the future mebbes

Junior finalist

I think she's more Aussie than Brit...

lovely little girl all the same.... just turned 15 - what a future she's got in the game. She'll be cleaning up on the circuit just as soon as the Williams brothers retire...

[tm4tj]

2-2 in sets, just breathtaking stuff, some incredible points being scored.

Verdasco playing out of his skin.

[tm4tj]

Wow

Just an epic match, longest ever in the Assie Open

Nadal edged out Verdasco, you would struggle to get a fag paper between the two of them.

[Mee]

Fantastic match wasn't it? I watched it live and now I'm watching it again (thank you Auntie Beeb for your wonderful interactive service :thumb04:

Verdasco just stuck with Nadal all the way till that wobbly service game at the end. Horrible way to end on a DF too, bet he's gutted

After Federer's bitchy comments about everyone, I hope Rafa thrashes him in the final!

[tm4tj]

I bend the other way if you know what I mean..................I hope he gets's Roger'd

Is that a word

[Mee]

Its the first time they've played each other since the Wimbledon Final... that pesky Andy Murray kept getting in the way

[Renegade]

What puts me off the tennis, is that annoying way they (mostly the women) make those grunting noises noises everytime they hit the ball. The Williams two are the worst.

[tm4tj]

Hmmmnnnn

I don't mind the women making those grunting noises.

[Johnboy]

Hmmmnnnn

I don't mind the women making those grunting noises.

The wimmin in my life tend to sigh a lot and twiddle their thumbs...

[Mee]

I'll support any WTA player who can get through a match without grunting. I don't seem to mind the men when they do it though...
