Mutua Madrid Open, Madrid, Spain, ATP Masters 1000

[Denis]

Murray gets his first bps of the match and capitalizes on the second. 1-3 second set.

 

[Billie]

yeah, momentum with Murray. Nole has to wrestle it back. Hold here would be nice start.

 

[Denis]

Hmm that all went down a bit too easy to be honest. A bit meak from Novak, that second set. Lets see what the third brings.

 

[Billie]

Well credit to Andy, he didn't want to go down easily. On to the 3rd.

 

[Denis]

Nice point

 

[Billie]

Bravo Nole!!!!! Great game to break Andy. come on now, hold.

 

[Denis]

Novak breaks early in the second. Looks in pole position now.

 

[Billie]

I can't believe this. 2nd time he commits double fault on break points.

 

[Denis]

Dreadfull serving by Novak. Back on serve.

 

[Denis]

That was a better serve game. I think Novak should still be able to take this. Murray looks good though.

 

[Billie]

I think all of their matches previously on clay very tight. 5 sets in Paris last year, 3 sets in Rome in 2011 and I forgot the 3rd one (might be Monte Carlo one year).

 

[Denis]

Very convincing break. Hopefully this will do it!

 

[Billie]

Another break. I think whoever can hold will win the match. Beautiful point from Nole.

Yeah, Murray gets undersold on clay. I think he might be the second favorite for RG this year.

 

[Denis]

Novak painting the lines again.

 

[Billie]

That was nice of Murray to protest Nole's time violation warning.

Come on Nole, hold here.

 

[Denis]

What did Murray say after the time violation call? Did he defend Novak?

 

[Billie]

Yeah, Murray gets undersold on clay. I think he might be the second favorite for RG this year.

I am rooting for Andy to have #2 ranking for RG. The matches against him are almost always taxing.

 

[Denis]

One more game for Masters no 29.

 

[Billie]

What did Murray say after the time violation call? Did he defend Novak?

Yes, he said that Nole was ready to serve 5 secs before him.
