Murray 7-6 (7-3) 1-0 Ginepri Murray somehow managed to win the first set despite only getting 24% of his first serves in. No-one tell that to Robby. Murray holds serve to move into an early lead in the second set.
It sounds like Ginepri's plan is to come into the net a lot more to finish off the points as Andy's scrambling ability is so good and if Ginepri just stays at the baseline trading blows the odds are that he's going to come out second best that way.
I don't think he attacked the net that much in their Bangkok match
It is as well that Murray isn't like Dementieva who throws in a bunch of dfs.Having said that,Murray wins 62% of second serve in the first set
Lol, yeah at least Andy has a reliable 2nd serve. I wonder what Brad would say if Andy started wailing "I hate my serve" mid-match like Dementieva often does, lol
Another close game on the Ginepri serve, the American just holding on at the moment. He has advantage.
It speaks volumes for Andy's baseline game that he can serve at less than 30% for a whole set and only be broken once and face just 3 points, especially against a hard-hitter like Ginepri.
The reports from guys who've watched Murray matches in recent weeks are that he's placing his 2nd serve a lot better and also maybe going for it a bit more

OMG, what happened in that last game !!! It's been comfortable for Andy on serve so far in this set and then suddenly Ginepri breaks to love in a flash
