Roddick started strong but Murray is with him every step of the way.
Those down the line backhands seem to be doing the trick. Roddick is gonna run out of ideas when Murray starts figuring out his serve.

No. I was thinking about going public with my distaste for Andy Murray today but assumed my cred would diminish. Which I think it just has.

There's just something about him that I really don't like. Sure, he's arrogant...but I can see past that, there's just something else I can't quite put my finger on.

I don't think so. Roddick has been solid so far and that first game in the 3rd set went froom being a big game for Murray to a big game for Roddick, great comeback.

I think this one could go to 5 sets...but now I've said that Roddick will win in 4...

Roddick's groundstrokes and variation have been very impressive so far but he doesn't like extended rallies, especially ones that require precise placement over sheer power so if murray can get as much service returns in as he can he'll get the odd break. That said, he needs to make sure of his service games which he just fucked up. doh.

The "C'mon Andys" after every point he wins is really getting on my tits now.


EDIT: also feel a bit bad for Roddick that terrible call on Murrays serve at 30 30 Roddick trying to break Murray to win the set may have messed it up for him...

Course I am, son. Use the "ignore" function if you find it distressing.

Anyway, he lost.

roddick played out of his skin today and murray was a little below par. good close match but i think roddick deserved to win. hope he beats captain dull federer on sunday but i cant see it happening, think the last 2 games might catch him up. but i'll be rooting for roddick, he was very entertaining on johnathon ross's radio show the other week!
