I'm still working, and have a few phone calls to make, but will (hopefully) be watching the match as well. So will do what I can.

I'm guessing the match won't start until the top of the hour, to coincide with the TV.

Good news, we have coverage! Alex Corretja is commentating *sigh* he's rather boring. Murray wearing white hat, shirt and black shorts. They are warming up their serves at the moment. Not that many people watching.

0-1 Murray

Couple of mistakes, couple of good shots from each player. Murray gets the better of a couple of long rallies (errors by Ferrer).

Murray looks slightly more settled. Has to try and not let Ferrer find his game.

Great commentary, Kate.


Does Andy still seem to have misplaced his decent serve? (Looks a bit like it from live score.)

2-1 Ferrer

Once again, long rallies. Ferrer making Andy run a lot. One very nice lob from Murray.

Neither player lokking great, but Ferrer settling into his game more.

Andy needs to hold.
