So Andy takes on another old geezer...27 yr old Austrian Jurgen Melzer who had a slightly easier match today to reach the third round.

Andy leads the H2H 1-0 winning 3-6 6-3 6-3 win in Indian wells this year.

Currently ranked 48 the Austrian has been ranked as high as 28 last year and has won only once on the ATP tour in singles. He has though 4 doubles titles.

The lefty will provide a  good test for Andy but I would be surprised if he wins a set.....if Andy plays anywhere near his best that is.

Looking for more composure from Muzza and better 2nd serves.


Can you believe that ??? 2 sets down, Drew!!

I have been listening to the radio commentary, but it is so far behind the scoreboard I can't cope!

I think I'll just watch the scoreboard.

Andy's second serve is being MAULED. 60mph? Even I hit serves harder than that. Shocker.

Come on Andy. This is not good so far.

Just found a livestream, http://www.channelsurfing.net/watch-online-tv.php?w=norvegia

Edit - well that's what it said but it has just vanished!

This is where I start to worry for the DC tie.

This is not good.

I just got the livestream back, watched one-and-a-half games and my internet connection went down. . .

It's not my night.

It doesn't seem to be Andy's, either.

I am SO annoyed that he played doubles.

Only just been able to get to the computer, but have been listening to the commentary... and Harman and Overend are really laying into Murray's play, as it has just been shocking, although Melzer appears to be playing well.

It's passive Murray, he doesn't look interested in the slightest, and it playing some bizarre points (on set point, he served an 82 mph first serve!!!)

Sigh. Tiebreak.

The little bits of the match that I could see, Andy's first was not just not going in - it was YARDS out. Which doesn't bode well for a tiebreak, unless he can suddenly get it going.

Don't know whether the doubles he played is the problem or not... it's more that he just is playing a terrible match

What is Murray doing.... just serve/volleyed on a poor second serve!!!

Melzer is gifting him the TB at the moment, although that was a lovely fh for 4-4

Oh my God, Melzer's ball is so tricky. You think it out and it just landed in.

The serve is making me wince! Someone give him a whack in the face. Please.

THANK GOD FOR THAT.
