Former GB Davis Cup captain on BBC TwoThis is a game as a spectator I love.
This is what the game is all about. I think it is a 50-50 game and I can't wait for it to start.

Andy Murray comes off his stool bristling with injustice.
He rattles through a love service hold to swing the service spotlight back onto Juan Martin del Potro.

*Murray 4-6 7-5 3-5 Del Potro
The game ends in farce. Andy Murray stops playing on a Juan Martin del Potro serve, convinced that the ball has clipped the top of the net and it should be a let.
The let machine failed to register it was such though.
Murray says that everyone could hear it and that umpire Pascal Maria should play a let anyway.
"Computer says no," says Maria (or words to that effect).
"Why don't we just start the fourth set," says Murray.

Former GB Davis Cup captain on BBC TwoMurray's match against Nishikori earlier this year was one of the best I had seen in Davis Cup, but in terms of quality this match surpasses it.
Del Potro is taking big risks on the forehand and Murray was just outplayed. The quality is staggering.
But such is the quality of Murray's returns you feel this set is still a long way from being over.

This is a match with more twists and turns than a epic box set series.

Former GB Davis Cup captain on BBC TwoWhat is the umpire supposed to do? He could take the line judge off the court but there is not much else he could do.

Andy Murray has gone off radar mentally since that line judge's poor call a game and a half ago.
He is still chuntering about it as he sits down a break to the bad in the third set.
