Murray and Butorac have 2 bps at the start of the 2nd ! They take the first and lead 6-3, *1-0
Real stranglehold on this match now...v impressive given it's their first match on clay and how well Kohlmann played against Belgium in the DC at the weekend

Yeah, Jamie said it's a totally different style of play to other surfaces, even in doubles. Players stay back a lot more and rally from the baseline. Jamie had a lot of success in clay challengers with Delgado last August, they made 2 finals. He said that they still attacked the net a lot but had to play from the baseline more and mix things up
The two lefties have such a lot of variety, with tourneys planned for each week till RG, they've got a great shot at being top 20 come the grass court season.
Jamie started to have some challenger success in the USA this time last year so he has a few pts to defend, not many though.
