murray is jsut playing very consistently, and so is lubo but lubo cant handle the murrays accuracy.

murrya has playd alot of quality drop shots and 2 in a row back hand down the line winners which were a beauty to watch--- lubo hasnt figured out what has hit him

i would update but i dont have laptop so im not runnin back and forth to pc let u know any significant gains

Andy takes the first set with a superb first serve out wide, L can only net with the return

Fantastic stuff at the moment, I was a little worried as he tightened up in that last game and missed too many 1st serves but he constructed two really good points.

scoreboard seems to be working again, hopefully for the rest of the match now.

updates from the beeb for the end of set 1 and start of 2nd:

Murray 5-4 Ljubicic
Hugely impressive from Murray - at 30-30, he controls a rally from the start and gradually squeezes the mistake from Ljubicic. At break point he does exactly the same, a deep forehand volley sealing the game. Can he now hold his serve for the set?

Murray 6-4 Ljubicic
Murray races to 40-0 in sensational fashion, only to be hauled back as Ljubicic goes for broke with two extravagant backhands. But at 40-30 his serve forces Ljubicic wide and the return falls into the net - the first set is his.

Murray 0-1 Ljubicic
Perhaps a touch over-chuffed with his first-set success, Murray goes for broke with three high-risk attempted winners. They don't come off.

deuce on Andy's serve. ad AM.

Deuce: Big first serve

Ad Murray

Another massive return from L and it's deuce 2

The return is the only way L's currently hurting Andy on his serve, apart from errors, Andy's mainly dominating from the baseline

Ad L: double fault

Andy saves the 2nd bp with his 3rd ace, great timing !
