C'mon Andy

[Deckerd]

Sorry everyone, it just blurted out.

I think this won't be available outside UK

 

[Pingfah]

Oh wow! I'm in Milan right now, and can't watch it, but this is amazing. I'm going to be back in time for the final, so C'MON ANDY!!!!

Oh, and yes, it is available to those outside the UK.

 

[Commander Vaughn]

Oh, we're aren't cheering for Roddick.

Though we get a pretty epic battle of Andies in the semis.

 

[Deckerd]

I think Roddick will be very very tough to beat. He's stormin' at the moment.

 

[Deckerd]

What are everyone's predictions? I predict a 5-setter with Roddick winning.

 

[Neroon]

Roger's in the final and he's my guy, so I'm happy so far. Roddick is up one set to love in the second set over Murray

 

[Jax]

1-1 set each 6-4 Murray.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Listening to the match on Radio 5 Live. Michael Stich keeps getting his Andys confused.

 

[Commander Vaughn]

NBC finally put this match on TV over here. I've been following it online, so I know it's tied 1-1 right now. But the broadcast is going to start from the begining of the match.

Damn the lack of live coverage!

 

[Niorah]

It's not looking too good for Murray in the third set. He even got fined for swearing but I don't think he did swear.

 

[Neroon]

Roddick up 4-1 in the 3rd set. I have to admit he's impressing me so far.

 

[Niorah]

Well, I stand corrected. He just broke Roddick's service. Wow. Great set.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Now 5 games all!


Listening to 5 Live, film reviewer Mark Kermode and his sidekick Simon Mayo were suggesting film titles with a tennis pun in them. Their favourites were "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Rod Laver" and "101 Nalbandians".

Might I suggest "Break-Back Point Mountain" and "Backhand Begins". Indeed, how about "Backhand Returns"?

 

[Neroon]

Roddick wins the third set 9-7

 

[Deckerd]

My prediction is still on then. I would go and watch but I'm the kiss of death to any player I want to win.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Really, really close match, this. Another tie break.

 

[Niorah]

And this is it. Roddick has won an amazing match.

 

[Neroon]

I really thought Murray would take him in this match, as Roddick has a tendency to fold when the pressure is really on. The Finals will be interesting since Fedderer has so dominated Roddick over the years. BUT the pressure is all on him and not at all on Roddick.

I really wish Rafa hadn't had to pull out of the tournament, though

 

[Deckerd]

Just as well I didn't put any money on my prediction then. At least the commentary will be bearable from now till the end of the championship. You have to wait till the last great white hope from Britain has crashed and burned before the BBC commentators stop sounding like desperate groupies.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

Another incredible match over. Andy Roddick's serve ultimately too much for Murray.



Please don't let the final be a Federer walkover...
