Going to a 4th, Andy takes it with his first!

First of all what a strange set. Andy could barely get a point on return at the start.
Matteo seemed to choke a bit, I sometimes think when a player is so commanding on serve it can sometimes cause issues with variation. His forehand got tight and from nowhere Andy somehow wins that set when he was also barely average. Sun has gone which will help Andy who clearly suffered from the glare.

Only Andy could have won that set, a break early here would really turn the match.

4-6 4-6 7-6 0-0*

Great tiebreak, Andy!

The first forehand UE was OK but the second was so wild it seemed to completely make matteo lose the plot

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Andy breaks! Takes the first of two break points. Berettinis first serve has disappeared just as much as his forehand. Andy has the tail
up here and looks fresh as a daisy.

Oh Andy.

Broken to love. I think he was getting too excited and wanted to race through that game there. That could be so Important that one.

Andy takes the first point but momentum has shifted again. Hes really going to regret that opening service game.

4-6 4-6 7-6 *1-2

And Jack takes the second set

He played about the same but served better - 55% first - but really Karen played worse too

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Think thats the easiest service game. Hold to 15.
Murray has had the whole match. This is there for the taking if he wants it.

4-6 4-6 7-6 2-2*

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Matteo holds to 15 but again Andy finding joy on the serve now and two of the points could easily have gone the other way. Wouldnt be surprised to see another tie break.

4-6 4-6 7-6 *2-3

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Murray holds and then forced a break point but couldnt take it so still on serve.

4-6 4-6 7-6 *3-4

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Danger for Andy two break points. If he takes one Matteo will serve for the match.

Jack taking control, set all and 3-0 in 3rd. Just had a break point for 4-0.
