This is quite hard:
1. Hewitt 2. Gonzalez (Fernando that is) great to see him back 3. Dimitrov 4. Bahrami 5. Dolgopolov (not sure why I like watching him, he comes across as really cocky and struts about, but I'm really drawn to him)
Dislikes: Soderling, Delpo and Tomic

Hewitt takes set 2 as well, woohoo, I love Hewitt, only wish I could see the match, hopefully they will do a replay of it later, do it in 3 Lleyton.

I love it when tennis players lose the rag.....very funny. It wasn't as good as the time he and Andy were almost fighting in Rome, but he could at least have gave the shoes to one person. I mean what do you do with one of delpy's shoes?
Anyway I am sure he will get through. Little rochus hasn't had a decent win in ages. Big shame yesterday that Raonic was forced out, but nice to see Berdy storm through. Both Rafa's and Andy's matches are getting tougher now. Gilles Muller was the last player to beat Nadal at wimby other than Fed.
Verdsaco had a bit of a grump on as well, I'm surprised he wasn't fined for the swearing, he was doing it in English as well which was odd, but good fun, I miss the McEnroe tantrums.

Has anyone looked at the FedEx Reliability Zone for grass on the ATP World Tour site, very interesting, out of every player past and present Andy is in 10th place, Novak is down in 26th place, and out of the top 30 in that list Andy is the only person to have won a grass court title this year and is the only person not to have lost a match on grass this year, the majority of the people on the list don't play anymore but it's still good stats. hoping this is a good omen for the Wimby final

Very good report, thought Andy came through very well. I really don't think any of the top 3 would have done any better. He kept himself very much together, and in the end only lost 7 games, what more could you ask for in a round 1 match under the roof which does change the feel of the ball. I'm thoroughly fed up with the reporters in some of the papers, and the early BBC Newscaster, who after watchind Andy talking about playing under the roof, said 'grumbling again.' Andy was certainly not grumbling he was just saying the difference it made.Can't some of them stop being snide. I saw that report on the BBC as well Michelle and thought the same as you, wish they'd just say their piece without the snide comments, he had also said that Andy didn't like playing under the roof which wasn't true either.

Thought Judy came across as lovely person. Answered all the questions very well. Perhaps people will stop talking about how Andy shows his feelings, as she said he wears his heart on his sleeve and that is him, he can't change who he is.
There was a really good interview with Judy, Andy and Jamie on Sky News a few nights ago, it came under the heading "Pushy Parents", they were joking around with each other and having a bit of fun, Andy was asked about his mum being at his matches, I can't remember exactly what he said but it was something like, when he looks around everywhere all he can see is pictures of his mum waving her fist about, she said it was only when there was a good shot. It's worth a watch if anyone can find it.

Can't wait to get home now so I can watch and enjoy knowing that he wins, I think I'll give the first set a miss though. Maybe a good, long hard match was something Andy needed going into his practice week, he has plenty of time to iron out any problems he had. Well done on the win Andy.

Only in the UK could the organisers put our two home-grown guys, James and Andy, out on the B court. Thank goodness the BBC has found a camera so we at least get to watch their matches, albeit in a limited capacity. A disgusting decision. If I had a ticket for centre court and they moved Andy's match I would be livid.
If James wins this match he is now serving for he will be on the centre court after Nadal, so fans on both courts get to see him

Andy's just started and I'm leaving work in 10mins, it'll take me just over an hour to get home so I might catch the end of the match, I hope they do a replay on the red button, I forgot to set the record button this morning.

I agree that the Mahut/Isner match at Wimbledon was really boring but I usually like watching Mahut play as he's a really good serve/volley man, it was a shame he injured himself yesterday.
