Thought they were going to finish it at the end of the second set, but enjoyed the tie break for the match.

Looked really hot out there on the court - Andy’s shirt was sticking to him!

Andy’s drawn against Richard Gasquet in the first round in Cincinnati next week - don’t think it’ll be on TV - but fingers (and toes) crossed.

Re: The return of Andy Murray

With the US Open starting today in New York, our very own Andy Murray opted to play in a challenger event in Majorca. He felt that he wasn’t quite up to speed to play five setters yet, but chose to play in this tournament to probably gain more match fitness & get back to winning some matches.
Well I just finished watching his match which he duly won 6-0 6-1, but the thing that got me was the size of the crowd. Absolutely packed it was, whereas at these challenger matches there is usually just one man & his dog watching.
Hopefully he gets another few victories under his belt, & that we will see him back at the big events in the near future.
Pretty sure he has said he will be playing a couple of tournaments in China in the next couple of months.

It was a superb game from both players, but for Andy to come back from a set and a break down in the 2nd & turn it around to win is an unbelievable achievement.

I really can’t watch him all the way through - he’s too nerve racking but omg what a match.

Had to really battle for it, but a nice win for Andy in three sets, to put Great Britain 1-0 in their Davis Cup match against The Netherlands.

Andy had us on the edge of our seats at Wimbledon last night. He lost seven straight games before going on to win the fourth set and match. Forgot how agonising his matches can be. Great to see him roaring again though.

Sad three set defeat in third round, but he showed quite a few flashbacks to his old self. Olympics next?
