Murray isn't playing great at all, yet is totally dominating this set, which tells you a lot about his level in the last 2 sets then, doesn't it?

To be honest Murray hasn't changed much, he's playing pretty much the same tennis, but the Eyesseric is just tottaly gone. It's reminiscent of Murray against Nalby at his first wimby, although less drastic.

I fully expect andy to go through now (probably bagelling here) but Hrbaty or (more likely) Acasuso will destroy him in the next round.

Graphic just says that Eysseric made 15 UE's in that last set, showing just how bad he was
