I’d met up with the am.com crew for a quick bite of lunch, and alas we seemed to attract another bunch of jobsworths to add to our Wetherspoons collection, including interesting debates as to which tables we could eat at, drink at or a combination thereof. I knew we should have gone to Unlucky Fried Kitten!!!
Because I’d bought my tickets pretty much at the last minute on a whim, I headed up and sadly caught the pre-match “entertainment” – a couple of violinists with spangly violins and a jazzed up backing track. They weren’t that great, it had to be said!
It was very important for Andy to take the early advantage, and he duly obliged with a break in the 3rd game. Muller did settle into his game and Andy wasn’t able to take a double break buffer in the some of the following games, but he took the set with that single break.
The second set saw a dubious line call leaving Andy kicking his bag in frustration at the first change of ends, and both Leon and Andy arguing strenuously with the umpire in the break.
Despite the fractious start, Andy was handed a break by Muller with a DF and he ended the second set breaking Muller again 6-3
Murray wasn’t hanging about now, breaking Muller in the second game of the third set. In fact Muller was only able to grab one game in the third set.
Andy’s reaction to leap in the air fistpumping after being congratulating the team was certainly a departure from his norm but when, during his interview with Rob Curling, he suddenly was so overcome with emotion, he couldn’t continue, we had a sense of what it had meant to him to return to the GB team, added with playing in front of most of his family.
He did recover well and came back to join his team for Ward’s match, even obliging the Stirling mob with a dance!
