I think it must be cramp if he's having his lower back massaged - last year when team Murray investigated Andy's cramping problems the specialist they saw said that he had a weakness in his lower back which caused the cramp - maybe he's thinking that a different method of massage which help to tackle it.

Andy trying to finish points quickly, nearly paid off.

Words exchanged by Murray and Ferrer at the end, didn't look overly friendly, not sure what was said though.
Ah well. I hope they can get this cramp problem sorted pronto. Think I'll avoid the BBC board for a day or two, the bashers will be out in force about his "lack of fitness".
He did better than I expected - much better - until that happened.
I think, but don't quote me on it, that ferrer said Murray suffered from cramps in the third set. It looked like it was, David what you said about his lower back is right, that's what i thought too. Hugely disappointing for Andy that this happens again. What a shame he couldn't finish it in the second set when he served for it though...
5-1 Ferrer Do we really have to repeat the same old story. Fitness and first serve. There is no doubt Andy has the game, and is only 18. But these are two factors that need to be sorted out as soon as possible. 6-1 GSM Ferrer.
