2015 Aegon Championships (SF) - [7] Gilles Simon vs. Kevin Anderson

[The Green Mile]

The first SF here has been decided.
Anderson and Simon have only met once before at IW (2013), with Kevin winning that encounter in 3.
Another interesting match up here. Hopefully, it's a good one!

 

[FedererDropShot]

Anderson in 3.

 

[The Green Mile]

I think Kevin will win, but I also expected Milos to defeat Gilles too...

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

It will be a surprise whoever gets into the final. I think Anderson will.

 

[SpinToWin]

I'll be brave… Kevin in 2 8)

 

[HipRotation]

I wonder if this run at The Queen's Club will make him more favoured for Davis Cup selection than Gasquet

 

[Backspin1183]

I see the Pusher getting punished here. Pushing tennis will not do it against Simon. Simon in 3.

Anderson a pusher? :-|

 

[Backspin1183]

Anderson a pusher? :-|

Yes. I'm sure I saw him push a few winners including 22 aces in 2 sets the other day.

[The Green Mile]

Damn, it's gonna start soon. Fed match still going. Hopefully, Roger does it in 2.

 

[The Green Mile]

Players going off court. Rain delay. Yes! Must have heard my prayers.

 

[The Green Mile]

OK, they're finally on court again.

 

[The Green Mile]

Anderson serving bombs already. 3 aces. 1-0....

 

[The Green Mile]

Both players just cruising on serve so far, especially Kevin. 3-2, Anderson.

 

[The Green Mile]

Anderson breaks at the perfect time. Will serve for the first set.

 

[The Green Mile]

Anderson has the first set. Won 11 0f the last 14 points. Relentless serving from Kevin.

 

[Steve0904]

First set Anderson. 6-3. Great penultimate point at 30-15. Nice volley to finish it too.

 

[tipsa...don'tlikehim!]

Anderson GOATing

cheers but it doesn't work for me. it's strange, I haven't updated my virus catchers, but somehow I'm not allowed to enter on my normal streams (this site has damaging programmes etc. etc.).

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Anderson is playing great but i got a feeling he will look awful in the final if he plays murray

 

[The Green Mile]

Nice hold by Simon. Fends off multiple BPs. Anderson playing very well though...

[The Green Mile]

Well, at least Simon holding his serve particularly well. Anderson just cruising on his own right now.

 

[heninfan99]

Love Simon but wow didn't expect such grass court prowess from him. Not the archetype grass player

 

[heninfan99]

simon serving great

 

[The Green Mile]

Can Simon sneak it here?...

 

[The Green Mile]

LOL, ridiculous slice by Kevin. 30-30...

 

[Tennis wizard]

LOL, ridiculous slice by Kevin. 30-30...

He got so lucky!! lol

 

[The Green Mile]

He got so lucky!! lol

Not the first time today, that the ball has checked.

Anderson with a backhand winner. 3-3...

 

[The Green Mile]

Anderson has MP!

 

[The Green Mile]

Simon takes the second set! Decider coming up.

 

[Steve0904]

Simon has taken the second set!

 

[ACE of Hearts]

Anderson gets caught slipping

 

[Djokovic2011]

Credit to Simon there for fighting in that tiebreak, he deserved to win it. I wonder who will win the 3rd? :smile:

 

[Tennis wizard]

Strong fightback from simon after being down a mini break

 

[The Green Mile]

Simon holds, thank God. 2-2...

 

[Tennis wizard]

Nice sportsmanship from simon ! seems like a great guy

 

[Sysyphus]

30 aces now for Anderson, and he ain't done yet.... Speaking of which, make that 31.

Hard to stop these elks on the grass when they in this mood.

 

[FedererDropShot]

Simon looks pretty comfortable on grass.

 

[The Green Mile]

30 aces now for Anderson, and he ain't done yet.... Speaking of which, make that 31.

Yeah, his serve has been ridiculous in this match. Many, many free points. His ground game has been impressive as well, tbh... Imagine breaking the aces record a day later, LMAO.....

 

[FedererDropShot]

I love Anderson's service motion.

One of my favourites.

 

[Sysyphus]

Darn it, could be match right here. Two bp's for Anderson..

 

[The Green Mile]

15-40. Christ, not again. Same scenario as the first set...

 

[The Green Mile]

A damn shame. Backhand error gives Anderson a crucial break. Will serve for place in final.

 

[The Green Mile]

A couple of MPs for Anderson.

 

[Djokovic2011]

Great passing shot from Simon!

 

[Djokovic2011]

Congrats to Anderson on reaching his first grass court final.
