If only...but Josh has had to go to school... and i (Gaynor) have to go out too..Hoping for an Andy win of course

That's a shame, I wish this match had been first on centre. Hopefully the Boggo v winner of this one, will be first on tomorrow.

That's one of the breaks back

Andy has break back point: 30-40

And he takes it 3-5

So there's still a glimmer of hope for Andy in this set, if he can hold here, maybe Henman will tense up having already attempted and failed to serve the set out

Apparently Andy has been really attacking Tim's serve but he's struggling to time the returns and giving away quite a few cheap points that way. His body language hasn't been particularly positive and Tim's been taking confidence from that.

Tim has also been really stepping into the Murray 2nd serves which are apparently sitting up quite a bit

Ad Murray

Deuce: Henman's really digging deep here, this is an absolutely massive game, whoever wins it is going to have a lot of momentum in their favour

Ad Murray: Surely this time, 4th break chance

2nd serve....1st set Henman 6-4

Wow, I thought that game would never end. From Henman's perspective, it was a must win game, if he'd lost that having missed 3 set points, I think it would have been difficult for him to come back and win the set.

From Andy's perspective, he must be disappointed to have dropped the set but he's got to take heart from the fact that he made it a lot closer than it initially looked and he came within a point of levelling it and he seems to be really starting to read the Henman serve now and is causing him lots of problems on the return

But then Andy drops his own serve
