Pless gets his first BP of the match, misses it.

First serve has gone AWOL - ~ 44% now.

Murray getting himself into trouble, gets out of it - just

Easy hold for Pless.

Worrying times - Andy seems to be struggling to make headway at the end of this set.

scoobsuk · Club Coach

Murray serves to stay in the set - his last 2 service games have been close and Pless's last two have been a breeze in the context of the match so far.

Have a feeling Pless will snatch this set.

Hope I'm wrong.

Mmm solid enough from Andy, rarely troubled on serve, despite a 44% 1st serves stat.

1/11 BPs is not terrific though. He had a ton of chances to wrap both sets up much more quickly.

Still, the win is in the record book.

RobC · All-time great

bring on Koubeck!

Thank goodness for that. Next. . .

dunno - against Koubek it could be a day match. If he and Roddick make it through, that'll be an evil night match for sure :)
