Would you care for a bagel, Mr. Pless?

GC77 · County player

Pless has only won ONE point in Andy's first 3 service games!!! Andy serving at 69% first serve percentage which is impressive.

Pless is serving at 64% and Andy is taking him apart!!

5-0 set point....would you like butter with your bagel?

USM, thanks for that - where'd you get the info from? Great to hear Murray's serve has improved so much, that should really propell him into the top 10 pretty soon, I mean we were saying for much of last year that was the only thing holding him back...

15-40: wild forehand from Pless

30-40: 2nd serve ace

What a set from Murray, apparently Pless is getting frustrated by the Murray returns and is trying to go for bigger and bigger serves

Murray must have read Mad's plea for a quick win

1st set stats:

Murray: 2 aces, 69% 1st serves in, 89% 1st serve pts won, 4/4 2nd serve pts won. Took 3/7 bps

Pless: 2 aces, 2 double faults, 55% 1st serves in, 41% 1st serve pts won and 36% 2nd serve pts won. Pless is a big server so this just shows how well Murray is returning tonight
