Analysis of Bozo's service game at 2-1:

Greg hit two winners, a forehand down the line and a well-placed volley. The Serbian serving was too good and Bozo closed out the game with a service winner to greg

Meanwhile GB have held for 3-2

Zimo serving:

0-15

Greg seems the strongest of the GB combination at the moment, he's serving well apparently

GB have break point on Zimo's serve at 30-40

Sheddie · administrator

Deuce, have missed 3 bps now. Murray is really wound up today, he's chucked his racket and sworn loads of times and he's getting really frustrated again as they've missed 3 bps in this game

4th bp in this game:

Zimo goes down the T to greg's backhand

Sheddie · administrator

Great stuff they've finally broken and lead 4-2 !!!

Murray serving:

30-15

Short serve from Murray to the ad court, down the T....

Analysis of Zimo service game - GB leading 3-2:

GB got off to a great start with a backhand winner from Mu giving them 3 bps. Great serving and volleying from Zimo took it back to deuce but GB got bps 4 and 5 and then finally a superb forehand return from Greg got the break.

4-2:

Apparently a confident service game from Andy, though his 1st serve percentage is quite low.

So much for Bozo being the weaker, his serve is being held more easily!

Beeb are wrong about Greg being best, Murray has upped his level, still hitting too many forehands into the net but finding the lines for the winners wonderfully. (Greg's serve is still very good though)

The commentators are now praising Murray's returns and comparing them with Agassi, Bjorkman etc having been saying 'oh you can't do that' to every ue before, aren't they fickle

set to GB, crowd gone wild, with reason!

Oh, USF you'll be pleased to know the beeb pointed out Colin Fleming in the team at one point (no mention of who he is though I'm afraid)

Greg wraps up the set 6-3 with a big serve out wide to the deuce court.
