Yep mental thing, that's the difference between Andy and the rest of the top 4. Check out Nadal's body language today, didn't see hum cussing himself and cussing at Tony.

Haven't thought sth can be more painful to watch than the Wimby semi... It's getting closer to that.

Andy looks as though he just doesn't have any energy.

Come on Andy, fight!
And please find the court somehow!

Anyone ready for a comeback a la Nole??

want to stay up, even though i know it's not gonna be good.
but gotta go soon.

I'm off...too much negativity on here. Andy is tired and his error count reveals that. He wants to win, he is trying to win. Give him a break.

Andy's getting crushed.

Oh no poor Andy - he's throwing everything at Rafa and as usual Rafa is throwing it back with interest - it's so hard to watch

kitkat would be handy right about now, even if its just to prove to yourself your capable of it

Don't mean to be pessimistic but I think this it really. I can't see Andy beating Nadal in 5 sets, especially with his negativity and the fact that I don't think he has the energy due to the schedule he's had. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong though!

I'm always ready, win the 3rd set then pray for some rain to delay match. Come back refreshed and steam roll the Rafa la.

We're getting desperate lol

I know that Andy's tired but he made a load of errors in the Wimbledon semi after the 1st set.

Feeling so sorry for him, he wants it sooo hard, maybe that's the problem.

2 sets gone, real shame. Not sure if I want to watch the 3rd set as I think Nadal is going to just barrel through it.

nothing to lose now andy
play your own game and see where we are at come the end of the third
cmonnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Don't think Andy is going to come back this time. It would be so good for him if he could get a set.

Listen, if Djoko can come back after two sets down I don't see why Andy can't.

What is he saying to his team?

try to regroup and keep this close

Think you're right Sophie - Andy wants a Slam so bad - he'll win one but not sure this will be the one

But it's Andy - we're used to these Murraycoasters so let's get behind him .... COME ON ANDY!

Come on Andy! Loads of change needed but who can't do this if not you? Just believe and focus!
