Deuce 2.

Apparently Murray's nickname at the Sanchez-Casal academy in Barcelona used to be "Lazy English."

Ad Monfils

Murray has 49% 1st serves, has won 63% of 1st serves points and 51% of 2nd serve points. He's hit 25 winners and made already 32 ues. He's only taken 2/14 bps

Andy hits straight back - 4-2

BBC on last two games:

Murray 4-6 6-6 Monfils
Murray earns a set point with some astute play, but Monfils saves it with a sizzling forehand onto the line. The crowd, who have been virtually silent so far, are finally getting into the match as an against-the-odds pass gives Monfils game point, but Murray hits back magnificently with a return winner. The Frenchman hangs on to take it to a tiebreak.

Murray 4-6, 6-5 Monfils:

Philippe Chatrier stadium is still not full - probably because of the unseasonal weather. The absentees are missing an absorbing match. Murray looks like he's cruising to a love service game at 40-0 but he lets Monfils back in. It looks like Murray's drop shot could be the story of this match - two terrible efforts gift Monfils break points but the shot also gets the Briton out of trouble in an epic game.
