2 BPs saved by Murray, 5-4 on serve

First one Stan’s BH hit the net cord and bounced back

What a pick-up then passing shot from Andy! His movement looks pretty good, I think.

Well Murray won it.

Emotions overwhelming him.

Congrats to Murray! A huge step in his comeback.

Hurray, Andy! Good match, too.

Congrats on your pick too!! Agree his movement is much better than expected at this point

Muzz movement looks good. Almost back to pre-injury speed. Has Stan won a title in his comeback?

Nope, he lost the Rotterdam 500 final to Monfils this year

Thanks, AF...I was wondering the same thing as K.

I'm glad that Murray won just so that I don't get to see him curse and break rackets had he lost.

So, two marquee players who have recently have been pushed to below 150 in rankings have reached the finals.
It will be a happy ending, no matter who wins it.

Very happy to see the polish has lost to Murray. Murray’s game is not that different to Novak’s, less efficient. And many believed Stanislaus has beaten a healthy Novak.

Amazing logic.

You know that Stan isn't Polish...just the name. I looked him up today for another reason and found that his family is basically Czech background. His father is German, his mother Swiss, and he has dual German-Swiss citizenship. (I didn't know that.) But why do you have such a problem with people who's families emigrated to another country, (and in the case of Stan, only one parent)? Is Raonic a "fake Canadian?" Is Shapo? Is Tiafoe a "fake American?"

Andy won, woohoo Great pick @Moxie

Thanks, pal! Did you see the match? It was really good. Two ex-top guys finding their form after serious injuries/surgery, and both wanting it. And thanks for letting me brag on myself...I did win for our group in this on and the Moscow one, though that was a war of attrition, as everyone picked Medvedev to win, and he withdrew, so it was a question of other good picks. Good week for me in the draw challenges. But most importantly, Andy won and jumps up some hundred plus places in the rankings.

Could't watch, still sailing, currently on the way to South Korea. Sounds like it was a fun match.

With regards to draw challenges, you are doing really good most of the time. It has to do something with your age as we found out yesterday how experienced you are

Yes but sadly the emphasis is on "Ex-top-Players"! Hopefully Murray will get much better and the hip stays calm.
