I've given my mum instructions to record this match so anyone who wants it will have to sweet talk me.


Also, I'll be watching and am happy to give commentary if people want. If you would like that then please let me know, either by posting here or pm me.


Good luck to all those who have to do exams both tomorrow morning and generally over the next couple of weeks.

With the EHP in force and hence no play on the outside courts, Andy's match has been moved up from MCA to the Vodafone arena (somehow, the BBC really seem to be managing to call the shots here!) but it won't be played until Blake-Moya has finished. That match has just started (about 07.15 GMT) and could be a long one. If it's short, Andy may get on court around 09.00 GMT, but I wouldn't bank on it!

Blake took the 1st set tiebreak 10-8. 08.00 GMT and still at least two sets to go before Andy gets on, probably more.

Blake took the second set 62. Moya leads 4-3 on serve in the third set. Blake looks by far the better player so should win this set...I guess they won't finish for another 20 mins though and then the warm up so I'm guessing Andy will start at about 9:30GMT.

So Blake wins the next 3 games on the trot to take the set in half the time I suggested.


Murray up next! Yay!! Go Murray. (imagine here an emoticon waving a flag)

Hey, I didn't mind TOO much being forced to watch Moya and Blake.

Players just walked on court. Andy looks as happy as ususal before a match! Having said that, Martin isn't really a pile of sunshine either.


Andy's sporting two necklaces today.


Martin, for any who don't know, looks pretty short. Apparently works mostly from the back of the court.

Andy to serve:


classic Murray! DF 0-15
15-15, ace!
15-30, BHDL long (just a not warmed up thing I think).
2nd serve. 30-30, BHDL from Mart long this time.
footfault. 40-30, BHDL really wide, opened up too much didn't put enough spin on it, perhaps put off by the amount of spin on Andy's stroke
deuce: some lovely angles from Andy there but Martin put in one of his own and ANdy couldn't get ist back over the net
ad Andy: Mart goes long.
game: serve volley. very effective.


1-0.


From now on 'A' means Andy Murray. 'M' means Alberto Martin.

Martin to serve at 0-1


0-15, 2nd serve. great BHDL from Andy, M reaches it but goes very long.
15-15, FHDL from M going behind A so he couldn't get to it.
15-30, DF
15-40, ue from M, tried a BHDL from half way up the court, failed to go over the net
30-40, fh winner cross-court, right off the return A on wrong side of court. great point.
game. M out


0-2

Great start for Andy...this could work out well for him with Verdasco and Matthieu having to play in the heat of tomorrow while he puts his feet up.


Has to win this one first though!
