Skyline Drifter Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Streaky performance. It was either playing excellently, or playing very, very poory. Should never have lost a set against Chela, he isn't a great player, with one of the worst serveice motions I've ever laid eyes on. Saw very little of the match over two days so can't comment much on it directly. Chela's record on clay isn't bad though. I don't think it's that surprising he got a set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyTillIDie Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Watching him right now against Baghdatis. One set up (6-2) and it's currently 1-1 in the second set, Murray's playing well, not exceptional, but Baghdatis is pretty rank rotten. He's got a few good shots up his sleeve, but that forehand of his is murder. Relatively routine win for Murray now I should think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Andy Murray is playing much better than he did in previous rounds here. Some cracking shots and a lot more effort when it comes to taking shots on. As a result, Baghdatis has just looked terrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Murray's 0-4 down in the 3rd set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyTillIDie Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 He just gave up there, and lost in 6-0. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Murray took a fairly brisk tanking there from Baghdatis, who looked like a different player. Unfortunately, Murray also looked like a different player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Back to normal Andy now. 3rd set was just a blip 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GypsyTillIDie Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Won it pretty comfortably in the end - 6-2 in the last set. He really turned on the style for the last few games and deservedly won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Andy Murray looked brilliant in that last set there. Basically how he looked in the second, even if the commentator comes out with his "he didn't play that well in the second set" nonsense. Who is he due to get now ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Oh dear. That's a tough tie either way, but I suppose that's a given at this stage of the tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Managed to catch that last set there. He was hitting some subline shots in that break in the middle of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewartyMac Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 It's Berdych in the next round, unsurprisingly. Isner's not a good clay courter at all. Will be a really tough yin against the Czech, he's been in reasonable form this season (although he had a shocking loss to Petzshner in Munich), and is comfortable on this surface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perthshirebell Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Isner or Berdych. Isner is a bottle merchant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKee Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Murray will win in 4. Birdman will pillage him in the first set, then have one of his routine mental collapse's. I also fancy Youzhny to beat Murray for a place in the semis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
