I don't know, as am not watching either but the beeb updates suggests that whilst Andy isn't at his best, Gasquet is in top form and so making Andy look bad by contrast.

2-1 to Gasquet.

Cant watch it but the Beebguy is....

Murray 2-6 1-2 Gasquet
A deep backhand approach earns Murray a rare break opportunity. He almost takes it only to be thwarted by the top of the net, which catches his attempted passing shot and tees it up for his opponent to dispatch. A second break point produces a thrilling net exchange, which Murray also loses and he bounces his racket in frustration as Gasquet holds.

Heres the difference......

Murray 6/17 pts won on first serve.

Gasguet 21/27 pts won on first serve.

2nd Set...Game 5....RG serving...

15-0, 30-0, 40-0 solid serving from RG...only dropped 6pts on first serve.

2nd serve...15-40...if RG looses his 1st serve a bit then Andy can make headway...

3-2

That is interesting, seems to say that Andy is attacking the second the second serve which is great.

It's the points won on first serve for Andy that I'm concerned about, still down at 40%

On the positive side, he just held serve for the 3rd time in a row, perhaps he can break now
