40-15: D serve down the middle, Murray forehand return into the net

Game: Murray nets bh slice

2-4

Far too many Murray bh errors so far, he's struggling to break down D. In most of the rallies, D is on top from early on

Trainer on for D!

Why do they keep putting Andy's matches on at around mealtimes? Why does my husband insist on being fed?

The bits I have seen, Andy seems to be playing well. Keep it up, son!!

Davydonkey injured?

I've just found the stream, thought the set had gone when Davy broke earlier.

Any ideas as to what's wrong with Davy?

who do you think would take a tiebreak? (how are they both playing?)

Thanks for the scores and commentary so far.

I don't know what happened but the trainer was doing something to his ankle.
