pascal maria gives a time violation warning even though the crowd were still shouting
If I hadn't seen him before, I wouldn't have believed it

Bloody Argie crowd are getting on my nerves. There is support but this is a bit OTT.
50/50 I'd say, Brazlians are booing Delpo

He reminds me of a Giraffe, are there any cartoon Giraffe to name him after?

This match would be over by now if he'd walk a bit faster.

OK Andy, no worries, regroup, and start again, but best of 3 sets this time.

Best to stick with RB option - Freeview 606 (not sure of Sky/Virgin channel numbers).

This wasn't in the script. Please sort it out soon Andy, Rafa will be waiting at the airport with his little suitcase.

I need sleep, it's catching up with me now.
Rafa is currently in the airport lounge looking at his watch saying "Come on man!"

I had no idea it was a best of 5set match.

Murray must surely win against Del Potro who must be very tired after his previous match.

Not if Andy keeps serving at 39% and makes more unforced errors.

As somebody said Delpo is on a mission but Andy hates losing so who knows?

Regardless of tonight's results, what do peeps think about Rafa n Andy's chances at Cincy?

I wouldn't be surprised if both put in a token effort and regrouped for USO.

His flight was booked for 9pm. That was a bit optimistic.

Mike you missed all the fun! We've concocted elaborate excuses for them to use.
