Waited to post on today's match so i wouldn't be too emotional
I really enjoyed today's match and loved the "new" Andy, reminded me of a young Charlton Heston.
Was so disappointed he lost but it didn't matter as he had shown the right attitude and had fought to the end.
Not in the old Henman "well let's put up a fight but you all know i'm going to lose in the end anyway 'cos I'm a good sport" sort of way, but convinced.
Don't forget, before you criticise certain parts of the match, that he was playing against the world No 1 who won nearly all last years major tournaments. It really could have gone either way and i think he can take heart from the way the new Lendl match plan worked - aggressive and going for his shots from start to finish, even if they didn't always come off and occasionally he was really unlucky, there were some fabulous rallies and it may end up being the best match at the Oz Open this year.
Will have to see how the final is first!
I am even more sure now that he'll do it this year and win Wimbledon!
(The bet's still on Cashy!)
