AM breaks again,  5 breaks in 7 games this set, no aces.  I know ATP and WTA are both here this week, but this is ATP right ?

Miss Murray to serve...

...and Fish breaks back to love (at least he played a couple of good points this time to get the break)

4-4*

 Yes, they have been making Katie O'Brien look like a world leader on serve, but unfortunately Mardy finds his serve again to hold for 5-4

As I wa saying on these courts they couldn't even serve an ace between them this set.

Miss Fish suddenly got a bit butch there, though Ace, Ace, Ace   * 4 - 5

Inevitably now that Fish has found his serve again, Muzza feels he is allowed to hold serve again - and does so to love

6-3 5-5*

The old Fish returns to go down 0-40, the new Fish gets him out of trouble and eventually prevail

6-3 5*-6

Muzza goes down 15-40 but saves the 2 setpoints to reach the tiebreak

Saves 2 set points top take it into a tiebreaker.

Quite a feat still to have had to go to a tiebreaker when you've broken Fish 3 times and won 51% of the points on his serve

Hope he takes the breaker but I can't really say he deserves a straight sets win.

Fish won the first two points of the breaker, AM got the mb back but a fine Fish lob makes it 2*-4

Andy appeared to win on his second matchpoint, but the call was overturned 8-8

Third time lucky and Andy wins 6-3 7-6(8)

Frankly neither player deserved to win the second set, but at least they made it exciting at the end
