Match Analysis:

Against the very best it's a question of winning the point before they do.

Roger Federer is a better player than Andy right now and he won the match fairly comfortably. But there were some interesting pointers for the future. Could Andy win points rather than relying on Federer's errors? Did Andy have any weapons that could hurt Federer?

For most of the summer Andy has focused upon keeping the ball in play, making sure his unforced error count is low, and only taking the initiative when in trouble. This strategy was never likely to work against Roger Federer and indeed on those points where Andy missed his first serve or played tentative tennis, Roger's attacking groundstrokes were just too much.

But when Andy got his first serve in play he looked competitive at this level. He won numerous cheap points with unreturnable serves and was prepared to go for a winner whenever he received a short return. In fact, whenever Andy turned up the pace, striking fierce forehands deep across court or double-handed backhands down the line, Federer struggled.

For short spells Andy played superb tennis. Coming to the net to finish points, he hit some gorgeous angled volleys. He took on shots that he would normally avoid, and there were the usual trademark Murray shots like a glorious crosscourt pass that flew past Federer as he approached the net.

The potential to trouble Federer was there, just that the error count on low percentage shots was too high for Andy to be a match for Roger at this stage. In a couple of years' time it might be a very interesting contest, though Andy has a lot of work to do on his game in the intervening period.

In simple terms his second serve needs improvement: better direction - deeper and into the corners, more pace, more variety. His first serve needs to more reliable and he needs a lot of practice at playing attacking tennis.

As for the match, disappointingly, Andy made a poor start to both sets. He reached 40-15 on his opening service game then wasted 3 game point chances before surrendering his serve, as a series of second serves were punished. After that his standard of play was quite high, and in the second set he did recover the break. A tiebreak looked on the cards until a patchy service game gave Roger the chance to serve for the match. Andy responded to reach break point but couldn't force the break and a couple of serves later the match was over.

It was a good test for Andy and despite defeat he should leave Bangkok thinking, if he works hard, he has got a chance to compete at the highest level.

I get that feeling as well

I think that installing the latest version might help and do not forget to do its updates.
