Played some good tennis, serving was poor in the third set but the rest of his game was impressive.

  Great win for Andy.nod.gif At one point in the second set I thought he'd missed his opportunity - but no - back he came, and in the end Rafa cracked. No slip-ups in the AO. please.gif Almost makes up for the Tykes getting beat in t'cup.no

Excellent level of play considering it's an exhibition [Makes one wonder just how much money was on offer!]



 Quite a lot, I believe, but I think it is just that they both hate to lose!

it's a fantastic scalp and two great matches in two days.

I just can't believe there's no points on offer. I hope he can repeat this when there is.

great start to the year for Murray, the fact that he beat numbers 2 and 1 in successive days should be a nice little confidence booster (and add to the fear factor for his opponents smile.gif). Contrary to my optimist reputation I'm currently having horrible flashbacks of a great first couple of weeks last year followed by that AO first round exit...

Oh and anyone after a giggle should check out the BBC live text for this match which I thoroughly enjoyed (as did my mum) http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/7809314.stm

There's no stopping this lad now. Judging from a photo on the bbc, Andy is looking incredibly fit - so kudos to team murray for his winter training.

Yes, from the short clips I saw, he has again made real fitness progress.

Just watching a bit of play against Federer, he really for the first time struck me as a real man rather than just the kid really scrapping ( and scrapping hell of a well I might say ) for everything he could get.  He just somehow had more presence.  Maybe I was seeing more than was there, I don't know.

Hey, I thought that was just some exhibition tournament, but obviously it is highly rated.  I've just seen that Andy has 7050 ranking points on the latest table  wink.gif
