    Hopefully. People tweeting in that it was bad sportsmanship from Dimi not to own up to the double bounce.

    Indeed. Andy does need to break here in this game

    Finally he does. But he will probably serve badly again now. And he does.

    Are we sure it was a double bounce.

    To be fair to players I never hold them accountable, when they are on the floor trying to pick it up things can be misses in a spilt second.

    It was clearly a double bounce but you can't really blame Dimi.

    It should really be Andy from here on in now.

    It would have been all over by now if he had held serve in the 2nd.

    With Andy you never know. Could still falter.

    Kyrgios v Murray would be exciting!

    I'd be surprised if Nick wasn't half dead after his match earlier :kitty:

    That's it Andy keep peppering his backhand until it breaks down.

    An early break here would seal it I feel.

    Dimitrov very much on the defensive now.

    And how quickly it turns! The break goes the other way.

    This won't be the last break though. It will go back and forth.

    Hopefully Grigor can make this 3-0 stick. I want a 5th set.

    Some good hustle from Dimi now.

    Have to say his outfit is by far Nike's best, he looks very good in it, at least he doesn't look like a lemon or a wham wannabe! :blush:

    Typical when I mention Andy looking in control now, he ends up dropping serve in the very same game.

    3/0 in the set is often very deceptive, as was the case in the first set when it was only 1 service break in it at that point. Just like it is now in the 4th.

    Kim should become his coach.

    Looking like a fifth set now - and impossible to call.

    It seems I may have been wrong about this match.
