Murray serving:

Auckland serving to stay in the set, 4-5.

0-15: Powerful return from K. Aucks makes the backhand volley but Kerr smashes away a backhand winner

15-15: A picks up M return on the half-volley. M is into the net aswell but his half-volley lob goes long

30-15: Kerr bh return into the net

30-30: Great return from Jamie again and A nets half-volley

40-30: Ace out wide

Deuce: Great lob from Jamie, D gets it but Kerr has a backhand volley which he hits at A who sends it wide

Game and 1st set Murray and Kerr: Superb retrieving from Jamie, they looked out of the point several times but he somehow kept getting it back. It pays off as A nets a smash and then smashes his racket in anger
