New balls please :cool:

My Dad put a be on Li this morning at 28/1 and now Williams is out she's 9/2

Murray deserves that. His second serve is slower than most of the woman's :mad:

Murray's gone into meltdown mode, 6-4, *2-1 up, now 2-4* down :eek:

Robbo · 1 Jul 2013 at 17:06

What a sudden collapse for Murray, I thought he was past all that.

Perhaps he can still recover here, but I suspect Novak will crush him in the later stages.

Moothead2 · 1 Jul 2013 at 17:10

Is it just me who's surprised at how many times players miss their first serve. Surely they work on that pretty much every day.

el_dazza · 1 Jul 2013 at 17:12

Murray breaks for 5-4*

Not really surprising, no. Most going for an ace first time around, and that's not an easy feat at this level.

I'm just guessing by the way. I know next to nothing about tennis.

Pigeon_Killer · 1 Jul 2013 at 17:19

Murray needs something to get him going. Hasn't got out of first gear and hasn't really needed to. If he upped his level just a bit he'd blow Youzhny off the court.

I know they're going for aces but some of them are only hitting 40-50% of their first serves and when they're hitting them slower than some of the women it just seems odd. I'm an armchair fan too though so I could be talking **** too

.

Murray's second serve though just looks bad. Djokovic will eat him alive hitting them like that!

4-2 to Youzhny in the breaker.

Pigeon_Killer · 1 Jul 2013 at 17:32

65mph second serve in to the net, that's embarrassing

Craig1981 · 1 Jul 2013 at 17:33

Excellent drop shot!

I've kicked footballs harder than that

Craig1981 · 1 Jul 2013 at 17:35

Wooo! 2 sets to 0!!!

nemtizz · 1 Jul 2013 at 17:36

About time. Lovely return.

el_dazza · 1 Jul 2013 at 17:36

What a shot. Murray on the brink several times but digs in to win the breaker 7-5.

Pigeon_Killer · 1 Jul 2013 at 17:36

Murray won't play many sets worse than that which doesn't say much about Youzhny.
