First real fire put out. Good composure from Andy under pressure but if Nadal does find his range Andy doesn't have the game to stop him, and there's only so control he has over whether that happens or not.

5-2 is a good position though. One point at a time.

Not good so far, eh? The bits I've seen, Murray looks cool and Rafa looks hurried...

What is even more surprising is that the longer rally points are being won by Andy.

Yeah, he's a lot stronger, I think bolstered by his week in Munich, and bringing in a bloke on his team as coach... :popcorn

I always find this umpire irritating. The way he dramatises break points. It's not his responsibility to add to the entertainment

Well this is a surprise! Thought I'd check in to see Ralf running away with the first set... not so.

Truly shocking; esp. closing out the set saving another break point! Rafa is off; way off, but Andy's not making it easy for him to rebound! :eyepop :popcorn

Murray handled that break point well.

Now, hopefully he can hold it together for another set.

Nadal actually looked pretty sharp from the moment he dropped his serve. Props to Murray for managing to hold despite the pressure Rafa put on him. Good news for Andy is he's forcing Nadal to play well, when he normally wouldn't need to on clay. The other good news of course, is that he's up a set.

Pretty good tennis from Murray I must say. He is still a bit passive with those short balls from Rafa, but still not bad clay court tennis.

I only began to watch at 4-2, but everything about Andy looks good, especially the way he handled the bp's. Rafa isn't hitting through at all...yet.

Would be nice to see more aggression from Murray. He was fun to watch against Nishi yesterday.

Just tuned in. Rafa looks in trouble. Andy has a new found confidence from his BMW win. Coupled w/ bringing Jonas on he will be a tough out this clay season. It's very nice to see.
