Fuctifano Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 He actually looks OK, he just spewed out of nowhere (well, out of his mouth obviously) at the end of a changeover. They're still waiting for a trainer to arrive but Murray's insisting he's fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Murray looks dead on his feet now, and the break seems to have done Pavel a world of good. Not looking good I'm afraid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking good I'm afraid 657295[/snapback] You're right, it looks excellent!

codfish Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Oh well, a love service game from Pavel when he needed it most. Come on Andy, serve it out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Brilliant! Can I go to my bed now? Be interesting to see Murray's 1st serve percentage in those last few games- about 15% I reckon. That was superb drama, he had it won, then lost, then won again. The overrule probably won it for him, Pavel went into a sulk and it stopped the momentum he'd been building up since the resumption post-spew.

StewartyMac Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Pavel is a top 40 ranked player, it won't be easy. Actually, I can see all three British players losing in the 1st round this year. Murray probably has the best chance of going through. 656109[/snapback] Aaah, the advantage of following tennis every week Well done Andy, deserved it, although Pavel lost it rather than Murray winning it in the final set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfish Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Some match stats... Murray had 12 aces, 4 double faults and 31 unforced errors, compared with Pavel's 11, 3, and 50. Murray won 47% (35 out of 79) of his second serve points, compared with Pavel's 39% (33 out of 60). Every time Murray had a break point opportunity, he took it. Pavel missed two. In the final set, Murray had a first serve percentage of 46%, but had 3 aces thrown in. Pavel didn't have any, but he hit more unforced errors (9-7). All from the US Open stats page. Murray-mania begins again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfish Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Well done Andy... Murray that is! Not the Andy that chose to miss a game where it was guaranteed the away side would score four goals! 657315[/snapback] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McQueen Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 The whole throwing up then drinking about 4 bottles of water thing seemed strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_B Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 The whole throwing up then drinking about 4 bottles of water thing seemed strange. 657458[/snapback] It was a specifically designed drink to stop him cramping. He said he always feels a bit sick after drinking it. Should have been munching bananas. Good to see him prove he can go 5 sets though and a very winnable second match on Thursday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mon_The_Bairns Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Brilliant effort from andy. After he was sick on the court it looked like pavel was going to take advantage of the break and win. But andy fought back great despite the yanks suddenly cheering for the other guy cos he was constantly moaning about the one call 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfish Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Good to see him prove he can go 5 sets though and a very winnable second match on Thursday. 657461[/snapback] It's definetly a winnable match - in fact, I'd have taken him to beat Ferrero on a hard court. Clement will be difficult, but there's no reason why he can't win it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfish Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Andy is third on the Grandstand court today, with a mens singles and mens doubles match before him. I reckon it'll be close to 9pm UK time before he's on court AFAIK the match will be live on Sky Sports, as Eurosport only seem to have rights to the Armstrong court 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
