The stream seems to have disappeared, but after a search I've managed to re-find it.

This is driving me nuts. BBC said Andy's match was "live on the red button". Not on Freeview, it isn't.

So I tried the BBC website, and it didn't mention tennis. However, I found it under another heading, watched most of Lu's first service game, then it vanished and none of the streams seem to be showing it now

If anyone else wants to watch here it is:

BBC Stream: Murray vs. Lu.

I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't on the Freeview Channels (301 or 302). Watching on TV is much nicer, but I suppose beggars can't be choosers!

Thanks for the scores and comments, people.

It's the only way for me to follow this by the look of it.

Are you in Britain? If so, the link in my previous post should work.

The tennis was on freeview overnight, so I guess they can't justify having it on freeview all day

Murray to serve - 2-2

15-0 - unreturned serve
30-0 - bh return is long
40-0 - unreturnable serve
40-15 - a nothing point from Murray and he nets a backhand
40-30 - great fh return from Lu forces the error
Game Murray - fh return is just long

Murray leads 3-2

Lu is looking good at the moment, while Murray hasn't quite woken up yet
