He has got the break back - the $64,000 question is, can he now hold?

Blake serving:

0-15: Andy really needs to break back right now and he gets off to a good start, forcing Blake into an error.

15-15: Both players hit really aggressive shots but Blake is the one who steps it up at the right time, forcing Murray onto the run. He puts up a good, deep lob but an excellent athletic smash from Blake takes the point

30-15: Blake follows a big forehand into the net and an exquisite touch volley wins the point with Murray too far behind the baseline to get anywhere near it

30-30: Blake attacks with a backhand but it's long. Big point here

30-40: Blake looks a little frustated with himself as he sends another shot long. It was a close call but it did just miss.

Murray breaks !!! Where did that come from, he looked out of the game at 30-15 but two errors and a brilliant passing shots leaving Blake completely stranded wins the game. He's back in this match, but can he hold his serve ?

Let's hope the answer is yes. (does anyone know where that expression comes from by the way?)
0-30, not looking hopeful.

Which? The $64.000 question? An American tv quiz I think.
30-40 - come on Andy!

Murray serves:

0-15: A very long rally and it's Murray who decides to up the tempo going for his favourite down the line backhand. That shot hasn't really worked for him today and he misses another one.

0-30: Murray loops an easy mid-court ball into court and Blake is more than happy to crunch it for a winner. Murray yells at himself

0-40

15-40: Service winners have been a rare commodity today for Andy but one arrives just at the right time now

30-40: A 2nd serve and Blake launches another huge return but somehow Murray gets it back into play, recovers and forces an error from Blake.

Blake to serve:

15-0

15-15: Long rally before Blake nets a tricky backhand trying to get Andy on the run
