Set to Murray

Serves better (not difficult) and overall game good enough to tie up the first set.

Ferrer looking uncomfortable, as he doesn't seem to be able to work out how to play Andy and/or can't excecute.

I expect Ferrer to play better, but Andy still looks like he could up a gear. Particularly if (boring I know) he could find his serve.

Yep, I noted that first serve percentage suddenly rocketing too.  Come on Andy, this is more like it.  Let's keep the momentum now. 


Great commentary Kate

The good news is that Andy will play Wawrinka if he gets through !!!

Great commentry Kate

Not a great start from Murray, despite his good start to the match his serving still appears to be abysmal (according to the stats)

2-1 Murray

Was on the phone!

Some horrible stuff from Andy, and looking like going 3-0 down, but then put some good shots together to get right back in.

Ferrer looks gutted.

2-2

Time for Andy to pile the pressure on, as he has momentum and Ferrer not happy.
