There's something child-like about Berdy...

Evening everyone! Got the popcorn out - looking forward to this!

 

[Kieran]

Good morning Matt!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jim Courier one of my commentators on this match just said the Madison Keys serves slightly faster than Murray on his first serve

There's something child-like about Berdy...

He does have nice blue eyes,I have spoken to Tomas at Sydney tournament a few year back,I have never forgiven him for dumping Lucie Safarova for that model,yes I hold grudges....

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Muzz stop being soo frustrated,I know you have been held up in your last 2 service games

 

[TsarMatt]

Good morning Matt!

Nice to see you back, Kieran.

Berdych is playing well so far. Looks very focused.

I am just looking at the live scores but from what it said, I think murray is taking a bit of speed out from his first serve to get higher first serve %. Maybe he is using more of the spin/slice serves.

The only match of his I watched live this AO is the one with Grigor. His first serve speed is about the same as Grigor that match but I think he hit lower % of first serves.

I am sure he can hit serves that exceeds 200kph easily. Whether they go in or not is another problem though

Right now, Murray is just looping the ball to Berdych. He needs to attack the ball or else Berdych will just punish his shots.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good hold Muzz,come on relax,remember you can change direction of the ball easily compared to Tomas

 

[tented]

Andy only 2/7 points on 2nd serve.

Average 2nd serve speed: 136 kph/84 mph

 

[rafanoy1992]

I don't like Murray's mindset right now. He is playing passive and hitting the ball short thus Berdych attacking the ball very well.

As for Berdych, he just need to keep doing what is doing right now.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Kenny Rogers is in the stadium tonight,he is a tennis nut apparently.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Inside out bhand from Tomas,come on Muzz stop with this nonsense

 

[tented]

Berdych breaks, and will serve for the 1st set.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Great bhand slice Muzz,come on think,Tomas dosent like the slice much

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Good fhand cross court winner Muzz thats the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tented]

Andy breaks back! :clap

:woohoos

 

[rafanoy1992]

Finally, Murray hits a flat forehand and forced an error from Berdych! He needs to do more of that...and just like that Murray breaks back...

See, if Murray is aggressive then he could pressure Berdych to hit some unforced errors.

Berdych is starting to miss some balls right now...we will see if he could regain his focus.
