Murray V. Fognini

[Eve]

Spoilers for anyone not watching the match live! Anyone else watching?

[DTCwordfan]

yep, waiting for Foggy to set fire to the Vatican Wimblebob chimney, emotionally....

[wolf63]

Have you taken time off work for the Tennis?

[Eve]

I have next Thursday off and I don't work Fridays so set for next week as it gets close to the finals. I start really early so at least I can catch some when I get home from work.

[Cloverjo]

Yes, I'm watching. Murray is doing ok, but I feel Fognini had donated most of the points so far.

[Eve]

Fognini doesn't look too happy out there! Fine looking young man.

[Eve]

Hopefully he will pick up, hoping for a well fought match.

[Eve]

Oh dear! He deserved that warning.

[DTCwordfan]

the biggest fine at Wimblebum and with that Mr. McEnroe, that takes some doing, £21,500 apparently,

[Eve]

Expensive lessons in non-sportsmanlike conduct!

Could be an interesting game this one, serving for the set!

[Eve]

Well, it has turned in to more of a fight! One set all!

[Smowball]

Murray definitely isn't on his usual form

[Eve]

Hi Smow! No, he really isn't and is looking rattled! High emotions all round in this match!

Anyone seen Scorpiojo about lately?

[Smowball]

Nope not seen. Can't imagine how hot they are- it's still boiling here and they look dripping in sweat!

[Eve]

I wondered how hot it was down there, been overcast and had rain and much cooler temperatures than yesterday in Manchester. Was glad after it was so horribly hot and humid yesterday. 31 degrees at one point apparently. The humidity must be awful to play in.

[Smowball]

I'm not too far from Wimbledon - I love the heat but even I was struggling with it today, so so humid. I've got a bad feeling about this match for Murray.

[Eve]

He's not having it easy out there. I really don't want to call this one at the moment. A break in the right direction for Murray though.

[-SharonA-]

Murray looks in pain. Do you think his hip is playing up?

[Smowball]

Think Murray is definitely suffering but now Fabio seems to have foot problems

[Eve]

Well, it would have to go really wrong for him to lose this set now!

[Eve]

Neither of them look comfortable but Murray seems to have the edge at the moment. Hope his hip is not going to cause problems for him and same for Fognini's foot. Has there been any more news on Bethany Mattek-Sands?
