Hmmm - it's taking Andy a while to suss out the Gicquel serve. I suppose the question is whether the Frenchman can keep up this level of serving.

Probably the fair result for that set - Murray the better player, but Gicquel just served really well and never looked like being broken.

He'll have to keep serving that well and hope Murray has a let down to stay in the match though, and you feel that Murray definately has another gear if he needs it - he's playing well, but not doing anything special, but then again, he hasn't needed to and just raised his level in the TB

Play abandoned for the day in the cricket!!!

Pitch is fine, but the outfield is unsafe for bowlers and they cannot run-up to the wicket safely.

At least England haven't collapsed this time....

Set 2 - Gicquel to serve

15-0 - good play from Gicquel and Murray's bh goes long
30-0 - good serve and Gicquel hits a smash
40-0
Game Gicquel - bh dtl the winner from Gicquel

Gicquel leads 1-0
