I can't remember if I've ever seen a bloke win a set without winning a single service game to 0 or 15 before. He's havingto work bloody hard. If he can just start getting his first serves in though, you never know.

Yeah it'll be a struggle unless he starts winning easy games. Looks like he'll be broken here.

It's surprising he won the first set with only 58% first serves.

Playing very well so far, Federer is making him work hard on his service games and he's showing a lot of character to win the important points.

Murray's having to do more running than Enoch Powell at a Nation of Islam meeting. His best bet might be that it rains so he can get a bit of a breather while they put the roof on.

Federer looking a bit shaky at the moment.

Federer wins second set, that might be trouble for Murray now.

What a cracking set. Murray had him on the ropes a few times in that set and never got the break. I wonder how costly it will prove.

Murray had plenty of chances to win that set. Needs to show a lot of character now. Especially as Federer has now turned up.

Murray needs to up his energy now, he's looking a bit down.

Rain delay may save him. But it also shows why he's disliked by so many. Why did he dawdle back to his bag, smacks of attitude.
