T serving.

15-0 high serve down the t, the winner off the return

30-0, A goes long.

40-0, A nets and yells in response.

second serve. 40-15. double fault.

second serve. 40-30. good return from A to start the rally. T ue.

second serve. a rally where it looked like half of the shots went out! T led right off court by A who then pushed the drive volley out, challenged the call but more in desperation than anything else. game T.

2-1.

A has now run out of challenges for this set.

Opps. Andy put his middle finger in the air following the failed challenge, might be told off about that afterwards!

15-0, during an ad break.

30-0, A should not have won that point!! T at the net, topspin lob from A which T reaches but can't do anything with the volley so A gets the passing winner.

40-0, T sends a shot in the rally very very long.

game, it's amazing what you can do with a good first serve!

2-2

A bit daft of Andy to use all his challenges up in the set so early.

What do you think is making this set closer Bethan ?

ok, first set Tursunov just reared his ugly head. 0-15 T sent a simple shot beyond the tram lines.

15-15, it seems to be catching.

second serve. 30-15. A did well to get that serve back, just couldn't get to the reply.

second serve. 40-15, A goes for too much on the fh down the line, pushing it wide.

40-30, running bh down the line, classic Murray shot, you know the one!

game T, ue from Andy.

Is tursunov looking better this 2nd set or is andy just not playing as good as he was the 1st set

Has Tursunov found a bit of form? or Andy lost a bit of his?

I'm not really sure. Andy is making a couple more errors but nothing significant. On the other hand, T isn't making his errors on big points now, only when he's 40-0 up. Also I think T's geting more first serves in and his first serve is good. The points are going more quickly now but A still has a huge advantage in the rallies.

A to serve at 2-3 down.

0-15, great rally. A hits a half-court ball (couldn't do much else) and T responds with a great drop shot.

0-30. Ahh. winner from T.

0-40, another winner from T, can I change my answer David? T is playing great.

15-40, super point from Andy, playing the percentages but not playing it safe.

Murray hits a long shot and is broken. To be honest that wasn't really Murray playing a bad service game, more T playing a great return game.
