Aberdeen Cup - Murray v Rusedski

Although the livestream picture stops between matches, the sound carries on; there has been an absolutely hilarious session where they have been moving the spectators around so that the Sky cameras don't see any empty seats!

Warming up now. I can't say I'm too impressed with the new haircut, but then I rather liked the mop.....

He is wearing a different necklace too.

Dreadful first service game from Greg, and he hands a service break to Andy.

Andy held fairly easily and then so did Greg, Andy leads 2-1 with break.

The scoreboard operators are truly dreadful, Greg played that entire last service game with the SB showing Andy as serving...

What is the standard of play like? Is it to a high standard and how is Murray playing?

I complained re the SB showing the wrong info.

*3-2

They have hardly got going yet, but Andy looks full of energy - I hope he carries that on into next year! He now leads 3-2 with a break.

Greg's serving is off, a few double faults.

Some better play from Greg, taking Andy to deuce a couple of times, but Andy holds for 4-2.

play is good,...GR serve is off...5df so far...

A quite long game, with quite frankly some sloppy play from both, Greg eventually holds for 4-3.

I must say I expected Andy to make shorter work of Greg, but Greg has been playing some pretty effective serve & volley play.

Andy had Greg at 0-40, but then Greg came up with some good serves to get back to deuce, then after a tussle and a couple (I think) more deuces, eventually managed to hold for 5-4 to Andy - who now has to serve the set out.

I don't think he will have much of a problem, Greg hasn't really looked like breaking him.

0-15 - I hope I didn't speak too soon!

Andy takes the first set 6-4. He was moving really quickly around the court in that game, looking good.

1 game all. Andy served 3 aces during his last service game, one of which Greg disputed - but I certainly couldn't tell whether it was in or not, it was too damn fast!

A long, see-saw game with some superb play from both players, and Greg finally manages to hold and lead 2-1 with serve in the second set.
