    Murray looks like he's struggling with an injury or something.

    Murray playing quite relaxed, refreshing to see him smiling and his demeanour softening as he matures.

    To be expected with a French player and crowd. Monfils theatrics are annoying though. His exaggerated grunts just went up a level.

    Yeah suppose so, but it's a bit over the top imo. Monfils is a right pain in the hole though. Hopefully Murray puts him back in his box in the 4th set.

    Would've been a massive hold for Murray there. Monfils takes the third set.

    Might not be a bad thing, all the momentum is with Mongols just now.

    Game on now, especially with Monfils being such a confidence player.

    Depends how these first couple of games go. He is so erratic. Murray really needs a quick break.

    Aye, but if he builds up a head of steam Murray could be praying for the darkness to descend.

    Still think Murray will be fine though, he has far too much class for Monfils.

    Thought it would be a Murray win in four sets from the outset.

    Murray does have too much class. I agree, just depends how Monfils and the crowd react as you say

    Ok, it's probably time for Murray to panic a bit.

    You called it Sean. If he doesn't do something in Monfils service game, I think he'll chuck this set - if he's not already thinking it

    What the * is he doing here? Dumping high balls in the net from 3 feet away.

    He's completely lost it for the time being.

    Think he chucked this set a few games ago. He knew the momentum had swayed in favour of Monfils. Get this set out the way and approach the 5th fresh.

    Monfils will want this to continue tonight.

    Aye I thought that in the last game of the 4th.

    Arguing now to get it stopped. Monfils will be smelling blood.
