Johnny, the wrist is fine mate. In my opinion, Bjorkman is playin the better game tactically. Andy seems to be relying on Bjorkman attacking him and then counter attacking, but for the majority of the game Bjorkman has just sat on the baseline and given Andy nothing to work with. He has barely even been serve-volleying.

Andy has just recently started to attack a little more and hopefully that will put pressure on Bjorkman. He has to let Bjorkman know that he can't rally with Andy and persuade him to come forward.

I think the early morning start was also a factor as we know Andy often starts slow. He may still be lacking a little confidence too. On a couple of big points he has had big openings to hit his famous backhand down the line and declined it.

Sounds like he needs a set to get confident then hopefully he might run through him...

Thanks for the info

2-2

Steady hold from Murray despite a double fault on the opening point. Bjorkman has a quick word with the umpire at the end, he obviously wasn't happy with a call, but the man in the chair is not having any of it.

Woo, one set all, 4-0 up and serving - that's a better score-line than when I left.

Though it is break point against Andy now. . .but he comes through, 5-0! clap.gif
