I'm sure you'll get some action soon (on the rain front at least !)

oh heck, it is looking lovely and sunny and dry at the moment here, thankfully. Shame not down there, oh well

Cant see there being any action on the outside courts for the rest of today. Will probably mean that most matches tomorrow are still round 1 matches.

we have Sunday play now, dont we ? which should help in terms of catch up

I'm sorry but come on Ryan

Andy looked so slow at Surbiton.

His serve brought him through- it'll have to be working well today

It's hard not to root for Ryan but looks as though Andy's class is telling. AM serving for the first set at 5-2

Neil Gee · Club Coach

Sorry Ryan serving to stay in the set

Elegant Point · Satellite level

Also rooting 4 Ryan - #Letsgo

One poor game from Ryan
But that's all it takes

Rooting for Andy here, Ryan is a decent lad but not going to do anything at Slams whereas Andy can still go deep.

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Yes sadly for Ryan my above comment appears to be correct. Wouldnt like to see him thrashed here but a bagel coming up. Still a good payday for him to take back the the challengers to try and push back up the rankings. Sadly wont make US Open qualies.

Neil Gee · Club Coach

Andy seems to have Ryan's number here. 6-3, 6-0.

Yep - I thought Ryan would do better hmm

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

Andy looks very fit and confident. Might seem strange to say but I think confidence in his ability and movement is the thing that holds Andy back from that extra gear needed to get back to the top 20. Hes striking the ball circa 2013 just now.

Is there any way to get the radio commentary on the tv instead of that buffoon Ca*toe does anybody know. He just wont shut up its insufferable.

I fully expected Andy to win that. Sorry, I never thought I'd ever say this, but I'm with Jaggy here: nice a lad as Ryan is & decent player though he is, he wouldn't have stood a ghost of a chance against Thiem or Tsitsipas (5) in the next round. Andy at least has the experience, nous & guile to give it a good go, especially with the Centre or N° 1 Court crowd behind him.
