Maybe at 5-4 to Murray? They just said in commentary he had 4 set points.

Yep, apologies, it was the 10th game.

Crucial to take the chances, if he;d taken the 1st, lost the 2nd he could have regrouped for a big effort in the 3rd.

I was only joking elvis, @Cookie Monster made a rip roaring cnut of himself earlier in this thread so I thought I's gently remind him.

Thanks anyway.

Murray loses the first set on a tie break.

Wasn't watching, only on Bet 365, looked, overall, Murray was slightly struggling to hold serve while Rublev was holding slightly easier.

Tuned in now, Rublev 2-1, Murray to serve.

Not a lot in it.

Murray had several set points in the first set, but slipped up in the tie break.

He got better as the set went on.

Just watched a short, 15 min, round up of Murrays win and it was good to see him moving well. :thumbs2

He won umpteen points from just getting to drop shots.

Really needs a win in this next match, not sure if he's won two on the bounce this year. 

This is more like it, a good win against a player he lost to fairly recently, and in straight sets. (Look at the score in the tie break) :thumbs2

Next up an unseeded player who, dare I say it, Murray has a great chance to beat and move into the last 16. :rolleyes: (Maybe not quite a great chance, this guy beat Rublev in the last round)

The bookies, what do they know, have Machac favourite, just.

Good win last night for Andy against Etcheverry.

I thought he played really well, looked more like his old self.

Cam Norrie also through, although he had a bit of a struggle in the middle of the match.

It's funny, no matter how well Norrie does he doesn't do it for me.

Can't really pinpoint what it is but I just find him dull, as a player and as a person.

Anyhow, Murray due on closer to 6pm tonight.

Be fair, he was pretty close to recovering the situation. Whatever faults he has (or ever had), I don't think bottling it was ever one of them.

There's absolutely no point in trying to reason with him as he's simply a waste of oxygen.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's a cracker coming from you .And to be fair he eventually got his head together so was a great effort just a shame how it finished.

Thrown the towel in again.

Your lack of any sort of awareness is stunning.

.As usual you NEVER mention any of his previous wins or how well he plays.

The same brainless views you post on St Mirren.

Nip over to P&B and share your opinions..................they also had a high opinion of you. :lol:

Andy Murray has revealed that he suffered a 'full rupture' of an ankle ligament during his defeat in the Miami Open on Sunday. 

The British legend fell to a 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 loss against Tomas Machac in the competition's round of 32 before later taking to social media to confirm the news.

In a post on Instagram, Murray wrote: 'Yesterday towards the end of my match in Miami I suffered a full rupture of my ATFL and near full thickness rupture of my CFL
