Stopped watching it at 4-1 down fourth set. I think andy on downward slope never going to be top 5 again time to think about his future

Guardian live blog said he had been asking for ice for his thigh and that he's been barely moving at times. Suspect he's trying to play through whatever it is ... just get this set, Mr Murray, and you can have a few days off. Stepanek is out, so whoever wins gets Bachinger next.

Has not asked for trainer. Haase has had the trainer on though.

Serving for the match

Walk in the park. Would have described it as a "run in the park" but by all accounts, running was not in Andy's armoury by the end.

Just glad he got through in the end.

Well, if the trend in recent months has been hugely impressive early rounds followed by sudden losses of form, perhaps it's better to have your ugly match early ...

Well done: as is often said, winning when things aren't going well is a much underrated accomplishment.

Well, that was good to watch - not. Not helped by the fact I spent most of the match switching between several livestreams trying to find one that was working, and ended up in the final game watching the scoreboard!

Winning ugly is still winning. On to the next round. I thought he said he was back to full strength and fitness? Cramping like that doesn't look like it, but it's better than an injury. I was wondering at first why on earth he didn't call the trainer, but the rules have gone back to saying you can't have the trainer for cramp, haven't they?
