6-4 to Simon, but Andy is playing much better than at the start of the match. Gilles will have to work hard if he's going to pull off this upset.

That is usually the case when Murray loses the first set, he built a career in winning matches with 2-1 sets or 3-1. It is not finished until is GSM announced. We shall see.
He looked in great form ever since the season started, but Andy is Andy. Mental walkabouts are still going to happen.

Not watching but yeah, Murray's won me a lot of cash in bets picking him to lose the first set in best of 3 and best of 5. He does it very often.

Ok, he hasn't won yet but that's why h2hs are only a guide as Berdych showed Nadal not long ago.

Murray trying to come back. Broke Simon and trails 2-4.

And Simon leads the H2H with Berdych 6-3. Interesting.

With a Janowicz like drop shot down a BP, Andy deserves to lose this match!

LOL Simon played so well Murray got distracted. That seems to happen often to Murray, no?

Do you think so? Andy came back on earth, after the AO, inconsistency was what made him the weakest link of the top 4.

:dodgy: Usually after his disappointing AO losses, he doesn't start winning again until after RG.

If Kim Sears wrote a Valentine's Day poem for Andy, I wonder how it might go. :plot

:nono Never bet money on sports... ever. Gilles is a favorite of mine; I just didn't think he had a chance out there.

I like him too and same here, Murray looked clinical in R1, never thought he would play like he did today.

Upsets do happen, you know...
By the way, let's see if Stan can withstand the barrage of serves from the other Gilles.
