Anyway, what on Earth is going on with Johnson? Wonder if he would do another Fognini and step up in the 2nd set.”

I don't know why you're so bothered, you're normally trashing Andy to the hilt anyway.

I hope Rafa has a quick singles match as he has to play doubles fairly soon after looking at the schedule. I'm sort of glad he pulled out of mixed really.
Our delicate Mallorcan flower needs to not overdo it before the USO.

Seems so, James Ward has sunk too low to make the cut.

I don't think Johnson will have a meltdown like Fabio. He is a very good server but Andy is a very good returner.

If by trashing him to the hilt, you mean pointing out when he is playing awful (for his standards) which frequently happened imo against top players from around 2014 to early 2016 (something he has recently started to improve on).

Infact i'm sure someone accused me of praising him too much not too long ago, so make of that what you will.

Yeah, I think a flaw with Murray is that he sometimes just expects his opponents to go away when they are playing terrible or injured. It's something Lendl should work on. I think he even voiced his anger once in a match against Djokovic about this issue.

Meanwhile Puig is about to serve for the match against Petra.

Is Murray going out - or will he wake up.

Extraordinary to win the first set 6-0 and end up in this situation - again.

Isn't it normally his coach's fault?

It's not delayed.

It's incompetent scheduling from BBC, but don't say it or you might be accused of trolling

It's on one of the red button channels and it's 4-4 and 15-15 Murray serving now

Ah that explains it. It must be a nightmare to watch it on those laggy online BBC streams. I tried once and it was a bit of a nightmare lol.
