15-30 now

2nd serve

15-40

Andy's serving at just 26% in this set which is very poor. With him winning only 47% of 2nd serve points, it's not going to be good enough and needs to increase quite a lot for him to win this

2nd serve

Serving to stay in the set. A careless UE makes it a bad start for Murray, and an attempted winner which goes long makes it 0-30. A good 2nd serve from Andy makes it 15-30. A 4th 2nd serve this game from Murray and...

My picture just cut mid point for adverts!

OH NO! It's not adverts! They've actually stopped showing the match!

30-40

C'mon son, just 1 more. Would be a nice time to hit one of those big serves we saw plenty of during Wimbledon

Another 2nd serve, drat !

OMG !

What a stupid time to cut showing the match, mid-point at probably the key moment of the set !

Is ATP masters series TV working for you on the Max TV online ?

I hope so as the updates have been great

Andy holds! Thank goodness for that, he finished the game off with a couple of aces, but 28% first serves is really terrible, if he could just get that up to 55%-60% he will be invincible!

now break!!!

0-40, certainly the way to go about it.

well, from that he loses the game, that must be a case of tiredness showing as it's very unusual for Andy to lose a game after getting 3 break points.

It is nerve-wrecking to watch Murray to serve

BBC:

Murray 5-5 Ginepri
Murray's concentration seems to have wavered and Ginepri moves into a 0-30 lead. Murray puts in a fine second serve to bring it back to 15-30, but Ginepri outlasts Murray in a long rally to give himself two set points. Murray then appears to gift the set to Ginepri with a long forehand, but he challenges and it is called in. Murray wins the next point with a clever cross-court backhand before winning a long rally with a dipping backhand that makes it his advantage. Ginepri hits back with a two-handed return down the line before the 19-year-old Scot sends down two successive aces to take a brutal game and save the set. Murray 4-5 Ginepri
Ginepri wins his first challenge at 30-0, the replay showing the ball hit the paint, and he holds with something to spare to move within one game of taking the set.

Murray 4-4 Ginepri
Murray's first serve percentage is around the 30% mark, but he manages an ace to go 30-0 up. Ginepri then produces a couple of unforced errors and Murray wins the game to love.

Murray 3-4 Ginepri
Ginepri has bedded in now and moves ahead for the first time in the match, prevailing in a drawn-out rally on game point.

Excellent stuff from Andy saving those 2 set points in the long rallies. Very unusual for him to lose a 0-40 lead, I hope Ginepri doesn't make him pay in this game.

Unusually Andy is cruising in this service game, he's at 40-0 !

Sorry, I don't think the ATP Masters channel is working for anybody, whenever I try that I get a Licence Acquisition with a message saying, "The requested resource () is not available."

Also, regarding CCTV5, I can't blame them really, they must have obviously had commitment to stop showing the tennis and start showing the golf from the turn of the hour onwards.

Although, seeming, the ATP Masters series stream was being ripped from ladbrokes... I may be wrong there though.

Murray 6-6 Ginepri
Ginepri, looking to be more aggressive, comes into the net but fluffs a backhand volley. Murray wins a comfortable service game to love to take the set to a tie-breaker.

Murray 5-6 Ginepri
Murray, drawing on his reserves, races into a 0-40 lead courtesy of some sloppy stuff from his American opponent. Ginepri digs deep himself, wrong-footing Murray with a backhand volley down the middle before forcing Murray to send a forehand long. Ginepri then makes it his advantage with a powerful two-fister down the line before Murray puts a forehand wide to hand Ginepri the game. Fine recovery by the home player.
