The books are a set of three i think,the first ones called 50 shades of grey,my friends just read them and now shes lending them to me,to read when im away.There supposed to be a bit naughty Robbie

Hey Caroline... don't be fooled by Robbie. He's a right shady character.

I'll read them and see,well at least the first one if i dont like it then i wont bother reading the rest.I was looking forward to having a good book to read.Oh well.

Take it your friend gave you a synopsis, then?

So long as he doesn't win.

These have never met but Ivan looks like he can do a good Andy impression, which Andy seems to find amusing

Thanks for the H2H.  Brilliant pics!

(Dutch newspaper today : Andy is favorite this tournament (even yesterday was not his best performance) . Mentioned also the speech at Wimbledon  as the most beautiful post match interview in history of tennis... )

That is really lovely flowerpower.  Thanks for sharing.

Murraysworld clan have been down this road many times before benniebone.  He was quite good yesterday got himself back in focus quickly and did not implode.  He's getting better.  Definately a Lendl influence.

I'd say that Andy's behaviour is perfectly normal now for a man with that fire in his temperament.  Many players swear and smash up racquets (Djoko has to be an expert in the latter) but do they ever get criticised?  Certainly not for swearing because mostly the umpires don't understand their language.  Whilst throwing tantrums and shouting at his box was never acceptable, I see nothing wrong with Andy showing some emotion when he gets frustrated or wants to pump himself up.  SmugFed gives me the creeps the way he tries, but doesn't always succeed, in keeping his feelings to himself.

Andy will play night session on Arthur Ashe Stadium after Sharapovas match

Late even for this night owl, but no doubt I'll struggle through it!  Hopefully Andy got the worst of his nervousness out of the road on Monday.  No top player likes a R1 match, for obvious reasons.

I could not agree more!!! I don't know, when they interviewed him in Toronto he seemed nice, a bit of a sweetheart to be honest, but he does have that overgrown baby look about him. I have a horrible mental image of him wearing an old-fashioned nappy with a giant safety pin in it whilst holding a giant dummy in his mouth. Not a good image!

By contrast, did anyone hear one of the comms the other week talking about Andy having the perfect build and physique for a tennis player? I can't remember who said it, but they talked about him being tall but not too tall, having a good build, but not carrying too much weight on his chest and such, which means he isn't top heavy. They talked about him having strong legs too, remarking on his great speed around the court. It was great to hear Andy being appreciated. I have to say, he's too young for me, but by the time they'd stopped listing his various attributes I quite fancied him lol.

Andy to teejay: I hear you want a piece of me?

I love that Andy is finally on My Time! 

Bev and I are well used to alarm clocks, Rachie. A lot of miles and time zones between us, but united in bleary-eyedness

I'm thinking Sharapova's match should be over quite quickly - but you never know!  I've estimated that Andy's match should start around 9 pm EDT, 2 am BST - not that many Brits will be watching it.
