Would you believe it - I downloaded Maxtv specially to watch this match, but I have been having trouble with the broadband connection all day - actually had to use dial-up for a few hours - and though I have now got connected it is only at 608kbps and that makes the livestream unwatchable!

Andy seems to be holding up well so far

federer serving at 1-1

0-15. federer goes long

15-15 murray slice return is lacking in power and catches the net

15-30 agressive stuff from andy and a nice backhand winner to boot

30-30 Ace/unreturnable?

30-40 - a sizzling forehand winner!

game murray! fed challenging. call upheld!!

murray leads 2-1!
