    "Haase has a bit of a dilemma here - the longer the points go on, the more it favours Andy Murray. Murray's got to play aggressively to get back to where he was last year. He moves so well - his footwork and balance is among the best on the Tour today."

  2. Murray breaks Haase

    Opening point to Murray and the British number one builds on that early momentum, scurrying along the baseline until his opponent nets. Haase, the world number 70, attempting to add variety to his play - coming into the net - but he nets and, suddenly, a break of serve seems inevitable. Murray with a crafty lob over his opponent's head and it's a break to love for the Scot.

  3. Murray is on court a tad earlier than expected, but Haase hasn't been caught snoozing, winning two of the opening three points for a 15-30 lead. It's a beautiful afternoon in Queens and Murray has gone native, wearing a baseball cap to keep the sun's rays from his eyes.

    The Scot steps in to screw a backhand volley beyond his opponent for a 40-30 lead and seals the deal with a punchy first serve down the 'T' which the Dutchman returns into the net.

  4. Hello! It's the first day of the last Grand Slam of the season and British number one Andy Murray is in the Big Apple hoping for another fairytale in New York. His first-round opponent is Dutchman Robin Haase and, yes, you guessed it, there will be live text commentary of that match. Actually, THIS is live text commentary of that match.
