He won today and he actually came back from being broken first game of the second set annnnnnnnd he won a tie break. He's proven me wrong twice in two days when it comes to the choking (aka he didn't really do it)...

His groundstrokes were scary bad though. Gasquet will eat him alive tomorrow if he keeps hitting short into the service box like that.

::off to find pictures before I have to go to an afternoon meeting::

[Jebony]

First of all: Thanks for opening the new thread

Second of all: THANK GOD HE PROVED ME...US wrong today! I was so scared during the second set that I even switched over to the other channel to watch Tommy defeat JCF in Halle

Anyhow, I'm just happy that he's in the SF now. Okay, so he's up against Gasquet now? Well, Andy should have some chances to win the match... it's up to him to take those

Um, did you find any pictures?

[-Bianca-]

Actually, no. Sportsline, GoTennis, AP Wire, Wireimage, Getty... they're all slow on the Andy picture update today.

This is from yesterday, but I didn't see it 'til now and I like:

Gasquet's up a set per live scoring... so unless he pulls a Roddick, he'll be Andy's SF opponent.

Definitely beatable, but as you said, Andy's got to take advantage of his chances.

meh... I'm off to meet my friends in about 1 1/2 hours and I'm still in my pj's (oh how I sometimes love my lazy days as a student! ) hm, or I could also go watch the match again since I taped it

well, it's all about taking chances and Andy should learn (again) HOW to do it. I mean, he's done it so many times before... how come he lost it? Ah, I don't even want to think about that now... he's through the QF match, that's all that matters today, right?

Um, did you watch the match?

[-Bianca-]

I caught some of it on the BBC web stream (which is just awesomeness)... I'll probably watch whatever I missed when I was actually doing work ( ) if I don't go out tonight.

Found some pics:







I love the beardly growth. IdoIdoIdo.

Did you see when Andy was like completely shocked when the chair umpire didn't overrule one of his shots?! It was SO not out I was just like "boy, get glasses!"

I love the beardly growth. IdoIdoIdo.

I just love him! He could wear a tiara or a garbage bag and he'd still look good to me No, seriously, I don't understand why so many people dislike his beard... I don't see why *shrugs*

[maita]

He won! Thank you, God!

Oooh..the beard, I love the beard. Teh hot.
Beard = grass season. Another reason to love the grass season!

... and now I'm in love with maita's avatar. ::le sigh::

Lleyton lost (and I'm sorry, but if Karlovic who is basically just Andy's serve and nothing else can basically own him, than dammit, Andy better beat him the next time they play or else), as did Timmy ( ), and Gasquet did actually have a Roddickian choke ( ), so Andy plays Stepanek tomorrow and really, he better win this tournament now.

[jameslover725]

now that lleyton lost, i think andy has a chance of winning...

this pic looks funny...

[Jebony]

Lleyton lost

I know... Thank God!

he better win this tournament now

Exactly!

I caught some of it on the BBC web stream

Could you please post the link to the site? Our (very lame) sports channel won't broadcast the final live (can I just say that I hate football, soccer... or whatever they call it these days!!!)

He's so gorgeous there!

Andy has to win this tourney now!!!! I demand it!

[-Bianca-]

Ugh. Takes the first set and he gets broken to start the second.

Grow a brain, Andy.

That follows in suit with my roommate's theory that his problem is that he needs to get laid.

ETA: Now he's lost the second set. Nice way to choke. I'll be shocked if he wins this match now.

[maita]

He's broken in the 3rd. Yay!

ETA: Okay.. that didn't sound right.
He's broken Stepanek in the 3rd. Yay!

What a long 5th game. Ugh. Andy.
