[AndyP & Lenore]

Was watching Andy's game against Santoro yesterday.

Andy was holding his own, keeping Santoro down, don't think he even dropped a serve. Then in the tirebreak for the 3rd set (Andy by this time already has two sets in the net), Santoro pulls even with Andy on points. The McEnroe (commentating) says "the crowd are really getting into this game now". The other commentator (don't know his name) says "That's because their boy is in trouble". WTF?!? What sort of trouble, exactly, did they think he was in. With two sets in the net and an even score on the tie break at something like 3-3, that's hardly a "trouble" area.

Was delighted to see Andy finish Santoro off with just another few points.;bigwave:

<<<<<De-mounts soap box.

Was Castle. Henman hardly uttered a word the whole match. I guess commentating is new for him.

To be fair, Castle is usually not a bad commentator, it's just sometimes he talks, then engages brain afterwards.:eyes up:

Murray is not consistent enough yet to go far in this competition.

He needs to be thinking more on his shots.

Well. Who watched the Murray match tonight then?

What an absolutely fantastic match. To come from two sets down and, let's be honest - not playing well at all, then to get hold of his game in the way he did, slowed his first serve down and get his game in order, to then win the next three sets and take the match. Well done Andy!

Next up, some bloke called Rafael Nadal. Never heard of him. Is he any good.

Just watched it....wow, what a come-back Thought it was all over in the 3rd set then the crowd really got behind him. Think there were only 3 Frenchmen at centre court

Best match I've seen in a long time. Rafa who??? Straight sets....;bigwave:

After a set and a half I couldn't be bothered, so turned over to watch Safin - once the Safinator was safely through I switched back to Murray and couldn't believe what I was seeing. The kid's got some moves, and some serious guts to come back like that. Very very impressed.

I never thought I'd say this, but I honestly think he has a chance. At the very least I would expect him to push Rafa to 5 sets.
