Murray to serve - 4-3

0-15 - huge return and Murray can only a bh long

30-15 - Ace
30-30 - Murray's lob is too short, and Tursunov smashes it away (8-8 in the TB now)
40-30 - fh return is netted
Game Murray - 2 huge fh's set it up, and the 3rd is angled away nicely for a winner

Murray leads 5-3

Looks like Kohli won the 3rd set TB 10-8!!!

By the way, ATP Masters Series Live TV coverage isn't that live.

You can normally see the score, a point or 2 further on on the ATP site live scores ( if you are getting over ananxious ),

I'm going to try to resist this.

Betfair's always good. Usually a point or two ahead of the live score.
