Yay, 4 through to R2, all currently in the live top 50 ( Cam 8 which would be a CH, Dan 24, Andy 46, Jack 50 which would he a CH ).

24 mins for 4 games at start of Murray match, now into 10 mins for next game. Tough at the top !

Set Point Nava.

Wow what a winner from Nava to take the set with an amazing cross court winner.

5-7 0-0*

Andy had so many break points in the early games and didnt take them. He needs to be more aggressive here. Still think Andy will come good but he doesnt half like to make if difficult.

Neil Gee · Club Coach

Andy involved in the longest set of the US Open 2022 so far against 20 yo world no 203 Emilio Nava. Is this what Andy needs in the blistering New York heat with his hip issues and his cramping issues and at his age? Even if Andy can overturn the deficit you have to wonder about his recovery powers to go any further in this tournament.

Very poor set from Murray who is being very defensive and waiting for Nava to make mistakes .

And nearly an hour and half for one set . Murray should not be losing to a player ranked 200 ! If Murray loses this match perhaps its time to retire as theres really nowhere left to go now .

Yay Andy breaks serve.

That depends what happens in set 2 and 3. If Andy works out a way I think the sets will be quicker. Nava will find it harder than Andy to keep this level for anymore than 2 or 3 sets I suspect.

5-7 4-2* Murray, suspect the games will be quicker from here on in.

Jaggy1876 · Grand Slam Champion

5-7 *4-3

Murray was in control at 30-30 a big point and another double figure rally. Had he got that then the set was over. Hopefully a couple of quick service games to take the set.
