I cant be bothered changing my first posts. I will accept the deserved mockery.

Commentators think that the side Murray is serving from now is hard due to the sun/wind

0 - 15 Andy overhits a forehand off the service return
15 - 15 Long backhand rally, followed by a long forehand rally, Murray forces R to net from the back of the court
30 - 15 Poor service return from R, two really good volleys from Murray put take point nicely
40 - 15 Murray starting to find the lines now, moves R about the court before R hits it off the frame into the crowd
GAME Murray second serve, unforced backhand error into the net

2 - 2

40 - 15 Kick serve that Murray can only get his racket too. Put away by R

R serving into the wind

15 - 0 Long rally in which R hits a cross court shot really well, but R keeps walking round the backhand and hits a lovely shot right on the line.
15 - 15 Well worked by murray who shows agression from the back and forces the overhit from R, more of that please
15 - 30 Mistake from R, who nets from another forehand, thats 20 unforced errors now.
15 - 40 Thats a great return from Murray who just reaches one in the middle of court. But R shouldnt miss the court but he does.
GAME Murray, another unforced error on the forehand which goes out of play

*6 - 5

This game isnt too bad or isnt amazing but Murray does look the better player by quite a way which is encouraging.

So Andy serving for the set (into the wind - although im not sure it actually affects him).

0 - 15 Andy needs to stop playing the lob. Again he tries to beat Robredo at the net and just gifts him the smash. Go for a pass
15 - 15 Andy with a nice approach shot and puts the volley away.
15 - 30 Second serve, shot from R comes a little deeper than expected and Murray balloons it into the net
15 - 40 Andy moves R from left to right again and again, the longest rally of the match by far, which Andy eventually nets when not under a lot of pressure. Andy chose not to come into the net a lot there
30 - 40 another uber long rally, Robredo approaches the net and Murray goes for the pass which pops back over. Murray sprints to the net and powers it down the line.
40 - 40 second serve, Nice from Murray, R gets a poor bounce, but Murray forced him right back into the corner and he nets
Ad - 40 second serve, Murrays second serve are doing nothing at the moment, just sitting up. Murray works his way into the rally and R makes another unforced error. set point
40 - 40 second serve, long back hand rally, which R steps round and powers cross court. Andy has a nice return right on the line. But then he nets an easier shot.
Ad - 40 Good serve which R nets.
40 - 40 eek, double fault by a good way.
Ad- 40 second serve, really long rally which R thinks he has won. Best shot of the match cross court wins Andy the point
SET Murray Good serve from murray that R cant cope with

phew
