"Not for the first time in this match Murray has grabbed his hip. It seems to be bothering him. It's something that's nagging him and it's taking his focus off the game."

Getting ready with his excuse?

Ah yes, the fickleness of humanity.

Murray isn't playing well at the moment and hasn't been positive enough so far. Verdasco is a very good player and he is going for broke so far but he's dictated the match on his terms rather than Murray's. Murray can come back from 2 sets down as he did so against Gasquet a few years ago, but Verdasco isn't the type of player to throw away leads lightly.

He's playing shite. Underestimated Verdasco big time.


I doubt he under-estimated him. Murray has spent the best part of the last 2 days practising with left handers to prepare for the match. More that he has got increasingly frustrated at himself for his inability to take the match by the scruff of the neck and Murray isn't one of those players who plays better when he is angry at himself. Often, it has the opposite effect. He seems to have missed a lot of volleys at net today which he hasn't in previous matches.

Don't worry, Murray will win, he is not good enough to lose to this bloke, that will come heroically in the semi or the final. I'm not a betting man but.....
