Is Wafa looking good or is Groth just that bad (and injured)?

Murray serving to stay in the match at 4/5 - How big an upset will this be if Radek pulls it off? MASSIVE!!

I'm only watching the Muzza match at the moment, will switch as soon as it's finished. Groth did have a neck injury but I kind of thought the result would have been a formality regardless.

^ This would be perhaps the worst/most shocking loss of Murray's career. He's seen to have a legit chance at the title and a good chance to make the final. If he loses here I don't think it'd ruin him for Wimbledon but who knows.

Thiem may be about to go down 2 sets to 1. Seems like every semi-big name who played last week is struggling badly in their first match. Not a coincidence!

Stepanek still got great hands at the net, but he's a UFE machine at the back of the court. Deuce.

Yeah it was never going to be competitive regardless but it's about to be three breadsticks. The amusing thing is a healthy Groth would probably beat Rafa at Wimbledon at this point.

Crazy opening round!

Murray gets the big hold. I think he takes the next two games now.

Andy's match is thrilling, this Step is really good

 

[britbox]

Big hold for Murray... The worm made him work for that one and he got lucky with a bit of shank. 5-5.

Agreed. Very entertaining. You must be on the edge of your seat as a Murray fan.

 

[DarthFed]

Spoke too soon. Thiem broke back to level at 5-5.

I'm getting that sense too.

Absolutely and I didn't eat to watch him....he's going to make me lose some kilos !!

 

[britbox]

Double break point chance as The Worm double faults. Could be curtains right here for the worm.

 

[britbox]

Saves one. Great serve out wide and great volley.

Rafa has played a quick match and Cervantes is giving a tough fight to Thiem

 

[britbox]

Murray breaks on another routine UFE by Radek (over 70 in total). This is probably over.

How long was the Rafa match? It can't have been an hour long?
