Struggling with an injury, in the hamstring apparently...

Is he really or is he just grabbing his leg. I am not saying Andy is a faker, but I do think it's a bit of a tick of his to stretch out and grab his leg, when he isn't playing well, then will play the next set with insane athleticism.

That's too bad. Hopefully he gets through today, then can rest tomorrow.

No he's called the trainer, isn't jumping when he serves and hardly moving at all.

Looks like injury problems could be about to rob this tournament of another big name...

He usually grabs something when things do not go well.

Do you know if he got injured during today's match? Rafa out is bad enough. If Murray goes out in the first round, a lot of excitement is drained from the tournament from day 1.

Fair enough. Hopefully he pulls it out and can heal in a few day.

Edit: Forgot the all important "it", pulls out makes it sound like hopefully he quits.

Benneteau v. Paire is what happens when you have two fun but inconsistent Frenchman playing.

That's too bad. Even if he survives this match a hamstring issue is not going to heal within a couple days or even a week, not with him having to play on it. Just a disaster of a year for Andy.

Only other interesting match (with a potential threat at this tourney) is that Monaco has tied it up vs. Ali.

As predicted, tough match for Murray. Last time he played Haase here it went 5 also. Good win for Kyrgios earlier \m/

Bradley Cooper went down to the Pear. Must have had a flight to Hollywood he needed to catch :)

And just like that Murray is about to escape. Sounds wacky, sounds like Robin Haase too :)
