Murray 5-4, 40-30, final set: Och, Ah think Ah'll take the wee scenic route?

5-all..

Lordy, my nerves!

 

[Kieran]

Oh brother, de Minotaur again, FFS...

 

[Moxie]

Up 2 breaks in the 3rd, and lost. You have GOT to be kidding me.

Muzz will be having nightmares after choking in this match

He was up TWO breaks? We need to keep some emojis for @Fiero425 to have his say but Andy is SPOOKED!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I think it is more a case of Alex De Minaur is in Andy's head he now leads their H2H 6-0

It's like Hallowe'en came early for Andy, instead of Christmas...

W/ Murray taking up a spot in the draw, I never tire of these early, long contests where he appears t/b on his game, but falters in the end! 0-6? Wow!

Not so shocking, Tiafoe & Shelton went out in the 1st Rd. as well! If a player even makes the final of a tournament these days, they're subject to being summarily knocked out in their next event! It's so weird to see; esp. when some think the competition is weak!

Well they’re obviously weak if they can’t play well two weeks in a row..

Fritz saves the day for the American men, lets see if Paul can follow suit

I just checked the scores. Murray was like not this guy again and then he comes so close to the finish line only to do an epic choke like this.

 

[Moxie]

Oh, man...a heartbreaker for Gasquet. He got the break back in the 3rd, had 3 MPs in the TB, and lost to Paul. He clearly wanted it, too. I wonder how much longer he'll stay in the game.

 

[Moxie]

People complain about late matches. It's 2:30am in Paris, and Wawrinka and Thiem are just going into the 3rd set. I had to check to see this match was live. Seriously? Personally, I'm not opposed to them working late, since no one asks them to get up at 6am, but this seems unusual for a MS1000.

 

[Moxie]

So curious to see who wins the battle of the wounded warriors here. 3-3 in the 3rd.

2am in Paris and if Stan gets through he has a doubles date with Sinner later today!

3am in Paris, actually, and Stan the Old Man gets the break.

I am on daylight saving lol! horrid service game from Dominic, Come on Stanley

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Crap Stan broken serving for the match!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well Dom comes back from 3-5 down in the 3rd set, saves a MP and beats Stan who I feel is mentally tired 36 63 75
Dom will play Rune in the 2nd rd
Feel for both guys having to play in the wee small hours!
