3-3 Pless holds at love.

Second set summary from Craig:


1-0 Butorac/Murray. Big break. Eric says on the deciding deuce pt,, you are taking all deuce pts this set and Murray rips a winner past Pless. Nothing like being courtside and hearing their conversations.

2-1 Great serve by Gonzo on another deciding deuce pt. Both teams are having a great time out here. Great atmosphere for the crowd. A must see match.

3-1 Murray is placing his serve perfectly and Butorac is all over the net. Pless and Gonzalez aren’t playing that poorly, its just high quality from Eric and Jamie

3-2 Pless holds. Great comeback as they were down 30-40. Most of these pts won by both teams are by winners, not errors. AGAIN, QUALITY TENNIS

4-2 Butorac holds at love. Gonzo/Pless dont put a ball in play.

5-2 Game Butorac/Murray. Up two breaks. Turn out the lights, this party is over.

Great to see Murray/Butorac win soo comfortably.

Onwards to the title!!

I know this is off the GBR topic, but our first semi final singles match is so tough to watch.  Sarstrand has inflamation in his shoulder and can't hit a serve above75mph.  He has never played this much tennis in one week before.  7 matches in 7 days.  I really feel for the guy cause he's another classy individual that I have come across this week.
