15-40 - deep return from Seppi and Murray flies a bh long
30-40 - passive play, but Seppi goes for a fh winner which hits the net and just bounces on his side of the court
Deuce - Murray uses his bh slice well but does nothing special and just waits for Seppi to miss, which he does
Adv Murray - Murray comes ontop of the bh-bh rally when Seppi goes long, although one of Murray's shot did look out
Deuce - short return off a good 1st serve, but he puts the fh into the net
Adv Murray - wild fh from Seppi almost goes into the crowd
Game Murray - fh return is netted

Murray leads 3-2

Murray just doesn't really look up for it at the moment and I get the feeling he's content to just do enough to win the match - which might not be the worst thing, but won't make for a pretty match to watch
