Fair play to Roddick, he produced a great service game to take the set.

At the moment this looks like a match too far for Andy, but he does have a habit of confounding us all (both positively and negatively).

Fingers crossed.

Not looking good, Murray is taking a medical time-out for treatment on his left thigh, I just hope it's Nadal-like gamesmanship, in an attempt to disrupt Roddick from his fluent play, although, this is his 14th match in 17 days...

Speaking of Nadal, Andy could be doing with taking more time before every point.

We'll have an idea after this game.  Murray goes long for 0-15, but a good volley at the net makes it 15-15.  Murray goes long again, 15-30.  Murray challenges a call, after his shot is called long... he gets it... just(!) and it stays 15-30!  30-30 with an UE from Roddick.  Eh... I don't know what Murray tried there... 30-40.  Roddick goes inches wide and then a few feet long, Advantage Murray.  Roddick makes another UE and Murray holds.

Roddick messes up a smash, but wins the next point for 15-15.  An UE into the middle of the net makes it 15-30.  Murray goes long and it's 30-30.  2 aces, 1 out wide, and 1 down the middle for an easy hold.

Roddick is serving very well at the mo, Andy can make no impression, and he is walking about court like he has just finished a marathon...

It has to be said that I haven't seen Roddick play this well (and particularly serve this well) for a long time.

Murray comes to the net during a long rally and Roddick dumps the ball into the net, 15-0.  UE from Murray... he's not pleased, 15-15.  Another UE, and he's 'disgruntled', 15-30.  A great winner out wide gives Murray the next point, and a good serve forces an error from Roddick, 40-30 to Murray.  The next 2 points are shared, Advantage Murray.  An amazing drop-shot from the baseline makes it 40-40.  Murray seems to be waiting for Roddick to make errors, rather than hit clean winners, but Roddick's feeling generous, and hits 2 UE's to give Murray the game.

I'd totally agree.

15-0 Ace from Roddick


30-0 Error from Murray, into the net


40-0 Murray again hits into the net.


40-15 *Laugh*  Sitter missed from Roddick


He makes up for the sitter, with a winner and it's 2-2

I wonder if it's something to do with playing Gilbert's new pupil. I can't remember, how did the Roddick/Gilbert relationship end?

0-15 A double fault from Murray


0-30 Passing shot from Murray goes a foot wide


0-40 Great shot from Roddick, and I can't see Murray saving this game


15-40 UE from Roddick


30-40 Good serve from Murray, Roddick can't get it back


Roddick has broken
