Ebden's an Aussie. I have to start betting again and backing Murray to lose the first set. He used to do it a lot before and now it's almost every match.

Watching some of these matches, I've been wondering if you've been itching to wager! :snigger

I am but my missus would kill me if she found out and she has an uncanny habit of finding out :/

So Murray completely sucked in that first set. Now he could wake up, and let's hope for Iona's sake that he does. But if he loses here and those 1000pts are gone, how much further does he drop in the rankings?? I may have to ask that in the rankings thread.

Watching a Spanish stream and they took such a long break Ebden had won the first set when the stream resumed. Would've been nice to actually watch him win the set. Doh.

I don't think he'll go below number 8 but I could be wrong. I expect him to do his usual come from a set down to win in 3 Houdini act again in any case.

Disastrous for Ebden and he comes back to earth.

Got a good deal of help from Ebden there and that lost service game was as predictable as it gets.

I think you are correct... could be hell for the draw if he gets his game back.

Murray in full clown mode again.

 

[Front242]

Get rid of that linesman lol! Awful call. In by a foot!

 

[nehmeth]

Andy's forehand still in a liplock with the net. Ebden has quite an exploitable backhand. 3-0

 

[Front242]

Ebden's serve is pretty crap too.

Well, if it had been a serve, it would have been long.

 

[nehmeth]

Ebden did a Nole volley there...

 

[Moxie]

Classic Murray return!

 

[Front242]

The usual Murray match of late. Ebden will be lucky to win another 2 games now. It's like whatever energy drink Murray takes before the match takes a whole set to kick in. :cover

 

[nehmeth]

Lately, Murray's matches have looked (and felt) a lot like the Nolecoaster. No fun for fans. :nono

 

[Front242]

^ Yup.

 

[nehmeth]

This is like the third time I've even seen Ebden. Australia has almost as many quality players as the USA.

 

[Front242]

Murray's lucky Ebden is serving so badly.
