Murray 2-6 4-6 7-5 Ram Finally. Murray earns his first break points of the match - and they're set points. A backhand pass seals it - and suddenly Murray is like a man possessed, pumping his chest. The Eastbourne crowd are even briefly on their feet.
Ram hasnt been on court for more than 3 sets for a long time!! Ram is gunna start to feel the heat and his legs will slowly begin to go Murray can control this match with his new confidence.!
"It's a funny old game. I think Andy Murray will take control of this match now." BBC analyst John Lloyd
Murray 2-6 4-6 7-5 1-1 Ram Ram is making a tortuous groaning sound as he hits the ball. Has fatigue started to hit already? It wouldn't be surprising in Eastbourne's sweltering temperatures.things look much, much brighter for Murray now.
Murray has never came back from 2 setd down but Murray had never won 6-0 6-0 before Its isnt a question of if .....it is a question of when he will come back from 2 sets down.
Murray 2-6 4-6 7-5 2-1 Ram It's a different match now, the crowd feeding off an upbeat Murray. Bates, who hasn't had the best of days, is looking a little more relaxed too.
THATS RIGHT 3*-1 YOU SHOW EM WHO THE TOP 100 PLAYER IS!!!!!!
Murray 2-6 4-6 7-5 3-1 Ram Bates, a veteran of these Europe/Africa Zone Group One Round One Play-Off encounters, is really enjoying himself now. Murray has the break and, dare we say it, a fifth set beckons.
Murray 2-6 4-6 7-5 4-2 Ram Murray's confidence is such that he feels able to attempt an audacious backhand overhead. Of course, that is Henman's favourite trick and Murray could do with a few lessons from the veteran Brit because his effort lands well wide.
Screw Brad Gilbert...Henman should coach murray whenever he retires(not soon hopefully)
im really nurvous for this game score to update...its been a while which means its close 5-2*!!!
Murray 2-6 4-6 7-5 5-2 Ram A couple of ill-advised shots from Murray there, probably the result of complacency from the teenager who is finding things a little too easy now. The horrors of the first and second sets seem a long time ago now.
YALL BETTER COME BACK.....5TH SET!!! Murray 2-6 4-6 7-5 6-2 Ram Remember the guy who destroyed Andy Roddick at Wimbledon? Well, he's finally arrived in Eastbourne. Murray crunches a backhand past a helpless Ram to earn two set points and a stunning return earns him the set. There's only one winner now. Isn't there?
I think its both the Murray that we love and the Ram that we all love (A tired one).

Murray 2-6 4-6 7-5 6-2 2-0 Ram Ram is still smiling, but then this is a man who was never expected to take a set in this match, let alone win it. Murray wipes the smile off his face with a brilliant get from a Ram volley. That gives him break point and a delicious forehand puts Murray in complete control.
