Great return passing winner and a whipped forehand down the line in that game and Andy breaks.

Andy holding on here.. saved the 4th break point after a good drop shot volley combo, and then gets his second sp with a serve forehand winner combo, but that is saved after a backhand is netted, good serve for 3rd sp, but that is saved after bh dtl goes just wide, another great serve sets up a 4th sp, but Mario saves it with whipped inside out fh dtl. Ancic now attacks net and volley at Andy's feet and Andy cant get it back, 5bp saved after a very long rally, Ancic eventually going long. Back to deuce, Andy serve out wide netted, 5sp here...and an ace down the T seals the set 6-3.

johnnylad · Tennis legend

correction: Ace number 5. He's not become a lovechild of a badly planned Karlovic, Rusedski, Philippoussis threesome.

Murray saved 7 of 7 break points in that set and outaced Ancic.

Currently serving at 0-1 second set.

6-3 1-1.

First serve still nowhere.

johnnylad · Tennis legend

gotta go Sainsburys.

Ancic holds to 30, and leads 2-1. He's getting some treatment in his stomach area on the change of ends.
