Ferrer withdraws from MonteCarlo Open. Injury.

Zverev benefits by going through.

 

[Bert]

Herbert is doing a Great match against Murray. Impressive ! I didn't expect him at this level... or maybe this is Murraywho makes him shine

 

[britbox]

Murray breaks...

Zverev benefits by going through.

Zverev"ll meet LL Granollers instead of Ferru

Ah OK - thanks isabelle. The end result will still be the same though.. Zverev in the next round.

Absolutely my dear

Murray 4-2 up but so lacklustre... his first serve might see him through, and it might need to because herbert is competing for everything outside the first serve point.

 

[britbox]

Murray hangs onto his service game surviving break point, ranting at the umpire for an earlier line call. Flustered but 5-2 up and should take this to the house... although still only one break in it.

 

[Bert]

Was such a good fight from Herbert. HIs missed volley at 1-1 in the third costes him a lot. He lost the 7 next points and his serve to love. Unlucky but great fight.

Murray takes it 6-2 4-6 6-3. Not an impressive performance.

So now Roger plays for the first time in two months. I wish I could see it, but I will have to wait for this evening on the Tennis Channel. Let me know your thoughts here at Discuss Tennis--I like getting these email notifications!

Kohlschreiber takes out young gun Borna Coric in straights 6/4 6/4. Didn't see any of this match but thought the Kohl might have too many dimensions for Borna. Kohl is a savvy veteran who changes things up a lot and Coric likes rhythm.

Players on their way out... Go Roger!

Looks like a full house for this one.

Fed breaks for 4-2 in the first set. Looking good.

 

[britbox]

Fed takes the first set 6-3.

 

[shawnbm]

Roger has won the longest rallies of the match and has actually covered more ground. That is a good thing.

 

[britbox]

Goffin move on.. 7-5 6-0. Solid player... reminds me of Ferrer in some ways in that he beats people he's supposed to, but has a limited ceiling.

 

[britbox]

Fed 5-1 up in the second. This one is done and dusted.

 

[shawnbm]

Ferru is like Davydenko in that regard, so Goffin is in for a wonderful career if he can continue to be that kind of very good and steady player.
