US OPEN 2011, SEMI-FINAL; Relentless Rafa outshoots Andy 6-4 6-2 3-6 6-3

Phew. Oh dear. Now Rafa serving for the set. Come on, Andy, you reeaaallly need to break now.

Ok must break here Andy. No more of your muttering and 100% concentration on the match thanks.

solid hold andy
now fight for every point
cmonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

much better game

he was perfect in the french semi emotionally. although that was prob because he realised nadal was hot fav.
here andy knows he can beat him, and it's becaus he wants it so bad. but still, need to hold it together.

Kitkat please!

I'm afraid the negativity is back. Andy knows he can win this but he needs to stop going into that dark place. I must admit though, Andy looks a little lacking in energy and it's not surprising. Come on Andy. HELLO EVERYBODY.

Please focus Andy!!!! BREAK HIM NOW!!!

next point please
cmonnnnnnnnn

Hi Vixen

COME ON ANDY!

There goes the 1st set. It's going to be a long rocky climb if Andy wants to win this.

dont let any disappointment linger into the next set.
fresh start.

Its best of 5 so its not over yet. I am going to try get some sleep, hoping, dreaming, wishing for a Murray victory & a lovely final to look forward to.

Andy, you have the talent, just believe

on to the second set andy still everything to play for
cmonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

dead on me feet

night all good luck

hey vixen

G'night Mandiemoo - hope you get some sleep!

We'll keep cheering for you!!!!

C'MON ANDY!

Shame, Andy is playing well regardless of what the commentators are saying.

Oh well, not that much difference in the set as long as Andy sorts himself out. Rafa playing some very good points but also some UEs.
Just get your head together and give it a go. C'mon Andy!

Well that was a typical 1st set. Hating it soooo much!

Come on Andy, I know you can do it but an average level won't be enough against Rafa!
Come on!

OK I need to go and get some

Andy, cut out the ranting, let your tennis do the talking.

Would love to wake up to great news

Goodnight all - keep cheering!

We certainly shall Jan - night night x

Me too.....too tired to concentrate. 'Night all and will hope Andy comes through.
He CAN beat Rafa , provided he keeps a positive frame of mind and stops chuntering!!
I have to say though, that the one who keeps his cool will win!

Interesting how defensive Andy has become Going for Rafa UEs is a high risk strategy but let's see.
Presume he is trying to give Rafa no pace.
Focus Safe hold.
C'mon Andy!
