Andy serving: 1-1

0-15: The Murray 2nd serve looks something of a liability so far. Blake's forehand is world-class and he launches himself into that return with a relish hitting a clean winner

0-30: Impatience from Murray, going for too much, too early in the rally and netting a forehand

15-30: Ace from Murray

30-30: Blake now nets with a forehand trying to force the play

40-30: Service winner, Murray finally gets a 1st serve in and Blake can't control a forehand

40-40: Blake attacks the return and is always in control of the point. Murray defends well but the point is never in doubt

Andy takes the game with some aggressive shots

2-1

Blake serving:

15-0: Murray is trying to force the play on his forehand and dominate the rallies from early on but it's a bit hit and miss so far, another netted forehand

Yay! Go Murray, break again.


By the way, is anyone else's scoreboard detirmined to show Ferrero/Schuttler at one set apiece all the time instead of the Murray/Blake match?


30-30

15-15: Murray is forced onto the defensive but he shows why he's one of the best counter-punchers in world tennis with a brilliant shot when he looked like he was out of the rally

15-30: With the previous point in mind, Blake goes for a bit extra on the forehand and sends it long

30-30: Andy attacks with a backhand but nets the shot

40-30: Andy had a real chance to gain a break point there. Superb attacking play with his forehand moving up the court but on the easy short ball he hits it long - should have been a winner there

Game Blake: Another unforced error from the Murray forehand which loops over the baseline and it's 2-2

Murray serving:

0-15: under pressure Andy nets a forehand, Blake attacked the 2nd serve there.

15-15: Both players are missing a lot of forehands so far in this match. Now it's Blake's turn to go for too much and he sends it just long

15-30: Blake crunches a forehand return down the line - fizzing off the court. That really is a spectacular shot, his positioning on the return is so good !!! Great preparation and then crunch !!! Andy does well to get to it but his backhand weakly hits the net

15-40:

Although Murray is one of the only players on the tour for whom a break of serve does not mean the set. A glimer of hope perhaps? Come on Andy!


Blake holds

Blake serving:

15-0: Murray is very unhappy about a call but the line judge confirms that it's in. Murray is still not happy though

30-0: A bit sloppy from Murray, who nets the backhand going for his fav down the line shot

40-0: Ace

Game Blake: 2nd ace in a row

4-2

Andy serving:

15-0: Blake goes long with a forehand

15-15: Blake hits a brilliant topspin lob winner. Andy's approach shot could have been better but the lob was just perfect, you just have to admire that shot

30-30: Another blistering return winner from Blake. I thought Andy had hit a great topspin wide serve to Blake's backhand. Blake was right out of court and had to go for broke but he smoked it down the line.

30-40: Andy hits a forehand long. Powerful hitting from Blake and Andy's couldn't handle the power.
