Murray in 4

They're showing Dim's win against Murray from Acapulco. Would like to see Grigor get into Murray's service games early.

 

[kskate2]

^ That will prove to be more difficult as Andy is serving immensely better than earlier this year.

 

[nehmeth]

^ 3-1. Dimitrov with the break.

 

[kskate2]

Tentative game from Andy and he is broken. Dimi takes the lead 3-1

 

[nehmeth]

Consolidates 4-1

Let's see if Murray's first serve % dips.

 

[tennisville]

I think passing shots are not as easy as some say nowadays. Every time Grigor came to the net , Murray botched the pass. He will pass you occasionally but percentage wise I think coming to the net is still viable. Yesterday even Kyrgios could have come to the net more often when Nadal was just hanging by

 

[nehmeth]

Missing first three first serves and Dimitrov making him pay... 0-40

 

[kskate2]

Is Andy a little nervous w/ the British royalty in the box today?

 

[nehmeth]

5-1 Sweeter than I could have hoped.

 

[nehmeth]

Is Andy a little nervous w/ the British royalty in the box today?

Nope, his practice partner is schooling him presently, and his confidence is a little shaken

 

[kskate2]

I guess you have to be careful who you practice with, eh?

 

[tented]

6-1 -- that was quick!

 

[nehmeth]

The Bulgarian bread-sticked McToothy.

 

[El Dude]

Ouch. Haven't watched the match yet, but am loving seeing Grigor (seemingly) play well against an elite player.

 

[nehmeth]

Love hold for 2-2 in the second. Let's see if Andy plays nervous here.

edit: Nope.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Grigor is becoming a man right before our eyes. He might end up losing this but he is proving he belongs.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Beauty of a backhand gives Grigor a BP.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

Murray could not handle grigor's slice, Grigor gets the break in the second.

 

[nehmeth]

Loving this match... so far.

(on the changeover Andy having one of his expletive laced exchanges - with himself)
