Berettini struggling on his backhand and Andy being the wily tactician he is is exploiting the weaknesses. That coupled with some good serving has him in control for now. Problem will be when Matteo finds his rhythm Andy will probably need to up his game.

Easy love hold with strong serving from Berettini.

6-3 *4-3 Murray

Hold from Murray got to 40-0 again exploiting backhand of MB but a DF and some slackness and he has to take it from Deuce. Hanging on in there for now awaiting the inevitable MB charge.

6-3 5-3* Murray

Andy breaks and takes the set! Some great returns vintage 2013-2016 era

MB does not look a happy camper. (Abbreviating his name mainly as its a pain to spell and type )

6-3 6-3 *0-0 Murray

3 breaks of serves to 0 is also impressive.

MB away for a Greyfriars Bobby break, Andy looks supremely fit and charged here, all good signs. I had a hunch for a straight sets win so heres hoping Im right

Toilet Break doesnt seem to have done much Murray still got MB on strings for now. Hes had some great touches today so far. If he was a bit more aggressive he could win this easily but no need for that yet.

6-3 6-3 1-0* Murray

6-3 6-3 *1-1 Murray

An awful overhead smash from Andy brings up break point for MB which is saved well, and another more successful overhead smash brings up game point. MB reading the Murray serve better gets to Deuce. A 2nd out of 3 successful overhead smash bring Andy to game point again but MB whacks a game second serve back with a winner. MB nets in the middle yet again tamely to bring up third game point for Andy who seals the game after over 7 minutes with another overhead smash.

6-3 6-3 2-1* Murray

Andy playing the big points well here but dont think MB will go away quietly here.

MB holds after another Deuce and a big fist pump and yell. Big moments there you feel hopefully not the turning point.

6-3 6-3 *2-2 Murray

Surprisingly easy quick hold to love for Andy now, MB looks happy with his sole
break for now. Probably sensibly given this is going to 4 possibly 5 sets now you feel.

6-3 6-3 3-4* Murray
