Livescore keeps taking jumps, so no idea of actual score.....

Murray takes a 30-0 lead in his serve! Roddick is frustrated and challenges it... the umpire laughs, I laugh, it's 30-0. Murray goes 40-0 up, but goes long for 40-15. Oh dear, Murray's throwing a little strop as he gifts Roddick another point, 40-30. Now he's shouting after another shot into the net, duece. Murray looks to have to point won, but never-say-die Roddick plays a magical shot into the postage stamp corner after chasing down the drop shot. He then converts the break point

Congratulation to Roddick, he played very well, and played as if he wanted it as much as a Grand Slam final.

Our Andy looked, for the most part, as if he wanted his bed (and I know the feeling).

Great three weeks from Andy. Rest up, do some work on the serve, and bring on the US Open!
