Henman 2-3 Murray A marathon rally at 30-15 sees Murray finally lose his nerve and allows Henman a chink of light. The veteran then moves Murray into the position he wants him and the lob from deep goes long to give Henman the break-back point. Murray saves, but a double-fault puts him under pressure before a pin-point backhand brings back deuce. Murray's fourth double sees deuce again and a lightning volley and a forehand winner gives Henman the break.

Tim playing the more aggressive tennis, some inspired shots from Andy but a lot of passive play and terrible serving especially on 2nd serve which is horribly predictable right now. Henman attacking with the forehand, rather than serve and volley, though is chip charging against the Murray 2nd serve. Both players double faulting at key moments and neither player is impressing on serve.
Tim started well but fell away towards the end of the set. A few crisp volleys but a lot that ended up in the net.
