First topic message reminder :

Started yesterday. Who's going to win it then?

Federer not playing. I voted for Djokovic.

Order of play here. Kyrgios v Verdasco looks interesting.

Another big hold from Andy.

Dont let go.

by YvonneT Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:21 am

No bagel

I do believe that's a moral victory for Murray regardless of what happens from now on!

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:23 am

Break himmmmm

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:25 am

Yes yes yes, Andy breaks.

by temporary21 Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:25 am

Net rushing from Murray! worked though!

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:27 am

Djoko getting annoyed hahaaha

Slice him Andy, no mercy.

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:29 am

Andy dont stop, orgasmic Laugh

by slashermcguirk Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:31 am

Djokovic 1st serve has been awful today. Murray playing very well

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:33 am

Break him again Andy, you are No2 in the world now.

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:35 am

Djoko shaking his arm, MTO approaching, or will he man up and take it to the end.

by temporary21 Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:46 am

Throwing this away again...

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:46 am

Hold on Andyyyyyy

by Born Slippy Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:48 am

Is this umpire insane? Worst code violation warning ever!

by Henman Bill Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:49 am

Was a strange and harsh one I thought (for bumping into the camera, apparently deliberately).

EDIT: BY "apparently deliberately" I mean it apparently appeared deliberate to the umpire, not that it actually was.

by temporary21 Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:50 am

He put his hand up after brushing it by accident. These umpires always seem to want to take centre stage...

by LuvSports! Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:51 am

15min game. 9 deuces. FOr the sake of the sport andy, hold on!

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:51 am

Cowboy umpire.

by temporary21 Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:53 am

Well wat are you supposed to do against this?

by LuvSports! Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:53 am

What. A. Hold.

by temporary21 Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:54 am

I have a game called tennis elbow, novak is hitting it like the hardest setting on it... one error in 15 minutes...

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:54 am

Oh baby, finally.

Break him now just for fun.

by Henman Bill Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:54 am

Good hold. A very good stretch volley caught my eye I think on the first BP - on the forehand side.

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 8:59 am

Just hold serve Andy.

by LuvSports! Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:01 am

What a hold again! But in a completely different way.

by LuvSports! Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:04 am

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:06 am

Take it now, break his spirit for Uso.

by temporary21 Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:09 am

Rope a dope still, dodgy game coming up

by temporary21 Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:12 am

dodgy dodgy dodgy, nole doing nothing for this position

by temporary21 Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:12 am

christ sake, smash it for goodess sake

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:16 am

Yess yessss Andy wins, super play.

Djoko is done for this year.

by CaledonianCraig Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:16 am

Congratulations Andy on winning your 11th Masters title taking him level with Pete Sampras on the all-time list. It also breaks that long run of defeats he has had against the world No.1 Novak Djokovic. Hopefully, Andy can use this as a stepping stone for the coming months.

Also means this is the 48th time this year he has won the first set and never failed to not go on to win. thumbsup

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:17 am

Roanic would of beaten both of them.

Neither of them looks like Uso winners.

by temporary21 Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:17 am

phew, after 33 break points in the match, he finally misses one

by Henman Bill Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:18 am

Djokovic clearly the favourite for US Open at this point.

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:19 am

HB, joke of the week that one.

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:20 am

Who gave Nadal 6 votes to win Toronto? Just saw it now Laugh

by Born Slippy Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:21 am

Breathtaking match. Possibly the best three set match of the year. Murray finally looks to have his fitness levels at the right level to compete. More or less guarantees a top 2 seeding for the US Open.

by Henman Bill Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:22 am

Enjoyable final set, some good shots (some bad) some tension and entertaining and occassionally unorthodox play.

So is Murray going to be no 2 on Monday/Tuesday when the rankings are updated, or not? He certainly should be with 2 masters vs none for Federer. It is just a matter of time anyway.

by Haddie-nuff Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:23 am

Congratlatons CC I said I had a gut feeling he would do it this time
clap

ANDY

Definitely No.2 when rankings are updated.

by Danny_1982 Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:23 am

Huge for Andy mentally. He needed a big win to say he's truly back, well he has it now. He has matched Novak before this season, and then faded either mentally or physically (or both). Or rather, Novak has outlasted him. Now he's outlasted Novak.

Very enjoyable match too. I hope Andy now realises the net is his friend. Please volley more Andy.

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:24 am

Andy is already No2.

Next week's lottery numbers please Hn? Hug

Andy badly needed that. Hopefully, he can use that as a building block.

by banbrotam Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:24 am

Murray's now around 500 points ahead of Federer, going into Cincy

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:27 am

Yes,

Andy 8490
Fed 8075

by Jahu Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:32 am

Andy dedicates the win to Amélie.

Since married and soon to become a papi, Andy showing some nuts Laugh

by banbrotam Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:33 am

At no time did Andy play like a player who had lost eight times. For me there are important factors about that losing streak, not least that Murray simply wasn't physically up to it (and so mental weaknesses are more prominent) for seven of them - including this years Aus final

It wasn't until the French that we finally got the 2012/3 Murray back

Of course, tonight defeat could be because Novak's ailing

Important win though, I said before Wimbledon that he has no excuses left for not beating his two main rivals

I'm delighted for him. Not enough credit has been given for how he's not only clawed himself back from the terrors of last year, but become better

by LuvSports! Mon Aug 17, 2015 9:34 am

Mmmm steak!

I am hoping this is a stepping stone up to Novak's level and brings him bigger wins in even bigger matches.

Spotted my poor English, before you spotted it

You'll have to excuse me as I'm not used to Andy beating Novak Wink
