MUTUA MADRID ATP 1000 - May 1st to May 8th 2016

[GameSetAndMath]

Truth or Dare time for Andy. Hold serve to move it to 3rd set.

 

[Front242]

Only just home from a big walk. Wives have a nice habit of insisting you go for a walk before the tennis starts :nono Should be a good bit more tennis left anyway so at least I get to see some of the match finally.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Andy got a nice quick reflex point in the last game. Also, finally he gave the drop shot medicine back to Nole.

Now, we move to the Bakery Stores set of the match.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Nole getting angry, might bake something here.

 

[Fiero425]

Nole getting angry, might bake something here.

Murray's already sucking wind! :nono :angel: :dodgy:

 

[Front242]

McToothy's going down. Fangs a lot.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Preheating the oven is over.

 

[Front242]

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Nole breaks himself again. Nole is now 2/0 on breakpoints against himself.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

So, no bakery products. Murray's feisty 1st serve is the primary difference today.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Nole won't give it back any more.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

They gave a time violation for the returner. That happens rarely. I think it was a bad call.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Murray is serving is definitely very good, despite that DF.

 

[Front242]

They gave a time violation for the returner. That happens rarely. I think it was a bad call.

Rarely happens but it should frequently happen I think many would agree. It's not sporting to make the server wait if they're the kind of player who likes to play fast between points.

 

[Front242]

Awful passive muck from Novak here.

 

[Front242]

Total brainfart by Novak to not hit into the open court there :Cover

 

[GameSetAndMath]

After saving seven break points, Novak finishes the game and match.

Now gets back to sole possession of Master of Masters! :clap

 

[Front242]

Finally. Well done Novak. Murray has now won just 1 match out of the last 13 against Novak. Btw, Roger says hi and thanks for the number 2 ranking. He's that good he only needs to play 3 matches since the AO :snicker

 

[Fiero425]

Murray just sitting there talking to himself on the sidelines waiting for the award's ceremony! ;-/

During the match only he talks to his box. :snicker
