Soderling serving first

3 massive aces and a service winner give him the 1st game to love. Impressive start form the Swede to say the least - real power hitting

Scaring match stat from Robin---5 aces in 2 service games so far

Murray finally manages to take a point from Robin's serve

Sheddie · administrator

Soderling's serve has so far been nothing less than brutal:

Two more massive aces plus a big service winner drawing a return into the net give him 40-0

Murray gets 40-15 with a good return and Robin goes long.

Serve-forehand combination and it's 2-1

Sheddie · administrator

0-15: Murray hits a short 2nd serve and Soderling crashes it for a winner

0-30: Another 2nd serve, they're in a baseline rally, Murray's backhand hits the top of the net

0-40: Murray pays again for missing the 1st serve. Soderling's shot making is too powerful - he hits a forehand winner which screams cross-court

Game Soderling [3-1]: Attempted drop-shot goes into the net

Murray got punished,losing his service game to love and is now down 1-3

Niall · Pro player

Andy missed all four first serves in that game and lost all four points.

Can Soderling keep up the brutal pace he is setting on his own serve.
