138mph ace. is that a high speed for andy?

To be fair, Murray shouldn't have won the TB, as he did absolutely nothing of note in it, and Melzer gave it to him with some poor shots, especially 2 errors on the forehand, and missed volley, and that poor backhand on set point.

He may win the match, but he doesn't appear to be playing any better than the commentators were suggesting he was

That's better, an early break and he's 2-0 up.

Snag is, can he hold, lol.

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Murray breaks.... looks like Melzer is just going to fade away nw as his chance may have gone... the melt-down from him is finally happening

Count Zero · Tennis legend

melzer loosk like he has given thsi set away. if am can get an early break in thr 5th could be easily over

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

Wow - 4-0. Has Andy remembered how to play, or has Melzer forgotten how?

Edit - ah, I see from the above posts Melzer's level had dropped. Presumably Andy's has risen as well though.

Suddenly Andy bursts into life...

JM called trainer, will break at end of set, dont know how serious

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Melzer is apparantly struggling physically, and the BBC team say he looks finished.

He's going to call for the trainer it seems....

Murray surely can't lose the match now, and it will be 2 matches in a row where he has been outplayed but somehow has managed to win a match he had no right to win, and if the opponent hadn't of choked, he would have been out

Count Zero · Tennis legend

he's just swining at it, not really moving too much.

i worry tho when alex plays him in the dc he will drop shot him to death, as alex isnt the swiftest up to the net, - he uses them even more then AM!!! (but he does seem to use them sucesfully)

melzer held, but i expect andy to serve it out. shame not to break so he could sevre 1st.

you guys really need yo get sky sports xrta, its shows so mnay of andy's matches

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

Phew again. I have to say I'm a bit worried Andy will over-relax after that easy set, he so often does. . .

Come on, Andy! Focus!

Count Zero · Tennis legend

i dont think he will. he knows an early break may well seal the match

Then I would have to fight my husband for the remote. He knows from over 40 years experience that the tv is mine in the grass season, but I think he would rebel if I started watching tennis on tv all year.
