Andy[s always been a natural defender, one of the things that Mr Lendl helped turn around. I guess he's gone back to his comfort zone. not totally unexpected, but also not helpful.

OK not really fair I guess to judge Andy too much at this stage.

But you are right, Lendl was the one both times who made Andy consistently more aggressive, on the front foot where he is naturally more defensive, reactionary and enjoys variation ( when he started talking about maybe playing with a bit more variation and fun under Mauresmo I groaned ) and boringly aggressive won big things. And also is one of the greatest counters to some who question the difference coaches can make.

Pretty tough one for Joe & Ben first off. Win - at least SF and 90 points. Lose - out after one match and 0 points.

Feared the worst when he missed those match points but great to see Corrie come through . He has a great chance to make the semis now .

Jan · Hall of fame

Brilliant!!!
I saw he was 1-4 in the second and thought that set was probably gone. Very happy to be wrong!

He better, he's defending 90 Challenger title points. Don't want to see him going backwards
