[Knotty Fort]

Clayray appeared from time to time, but unfortunately disappeared in the middle of the 3rd set.

But still a good win for him over Ferrer, his first on clay. No losses since his marriage, Djokovic up next. Pray for wind.

 

[Greco]

More talented player won

Ferrer`s service :help:

 

[Pablo23]

He should have finished it in three, but nevermind. Andy played pretty well today, another Roland Garros SF for him, and even though it's Nole he's playing next... who knows?

 

[IBM]

Service, service and again service

 

[NoleBakery]

What a joke of a quater-final...

 

[acacacacademy]

Good match, more competitive than the blowout on Philippe Chatrier.

 

[james_von05]

Clayray... marches on... 15-0

happy he defended his points from last year.

The real final on Friday!

David's choking in the first set :spit:

[Joey Tribbiani]

Disappointing from Ferry. Congrats Andy.

Ferrer`s service :help:

Gotta give Ferrer credit though. At 33 and only 5 9". (SHORT NOWADAYS IN TENNIS) He fights for every point.

 

[MuzzahLovah]

Good performance from Andy except after going up breaks multiple times in the first set and again in the third. He was the much better player throughout, just a few donated service games stopped this from being complete rout. Good fight from David, but Andy really had a read on his serve.

Andy's interview with Fabrice, hiring Amelie as coach- what else does he have to do to get the Frenchies on his side?
Hopefully they hate Djoker a little bit more next match.

 

[Arhaych]

Murray should really have won in straight sets, but excellent result for him and he has a shot against Djokovic in this form.

 

[Sapeod]

Andy defends his points from last year; anything against Djokovic next round is a plus. Good match overall, though it should have ended much sooner but Giftray showed up in the third set and awarded David a set. Still, excellent form throughout despite a few bad patches. He definitely has his chances against Djokovic.

 

[M.Bison]

5 down, 2 to go.

 

[Damianho]

walking bye for big4, should stay at home during slams

 

[norwood_10]

Aside from that third set fuck-up (it's normal I guess for Andy to go walkabout) he played exceptional clay court tennis, defended his points and will have a crack at Novak. Ferrer fought his terrier-like self off and Andy took his game to heights David can't in that 4th set.

I expect that he'll lose in 4, but give it absolutely all you've got out there Andrew. No stone unturned.

[DjokerLife94]

Poor Ferru. :sobbing: :hug:

At least he got a set. :shrug:

 

[TigerTim]

only Murray, Djokovic, Nadal, Agassi, Federer and Lendl have made the semis for better of all the slams 3 times plus

 

[Murray Mint]

Murray/Ferrer matches always give me a headache due to the drama (and sometimes the tennis), but it was enjoyable in parts. First set was ridiculous in how badly both players played behind the serve - but at the same time, some great returning on both sides. Third set was a ridiculous collapse from Andy. Loved his work in 2 & 4 though. Good temperament to recover in the fourth.

Excellent win and regardless of the SF, which will be extremely difficult to win, what a fantastic clay season.

Respect to David as always. First set was a funny one: Murray wasted breaks again and again, and Ferrer ended up in a position where he probably should've won it, but didn't. Again though, you always feel David will get tight in such situations.
