40-15 before the world number 32 goes long.

Clever.

Josie, Charlie, Rosie and Jen have flown over from London and they're watching Andy Murray.
"I honestly think he can go all the way, despite his injury problems," says Charlie. "You've got to think positively. He's got a good record here so you never know."
And how are they coping with the weather? "Melting."

Dom Inglot
British doubles player on BBC Radio 5 live sports extraYou might see a sprint to the ice bath - the ones here you can only fit one person in because they are seated.
At Wimbledon you could fit two people in them if you really wanted to, but no chance at the US Open.
I could barely fit in that first one, my knees were coming out of the water.
Can you imagine Verdasco and Murray sharing an ice bath?

Dom Inglot
British doubles player on BBC Radio 5 live sports extraFernando Verdasco is playing a much smarter game compared to the second set. Maybe he hasn't had a bit of a mind blow up because he is leading, but the big key for him is being smart in these games.

*Murray 5-7 6-2 0-2 Verdasco
Dom Inglot
British doubles player on BBC Radio 5 live sports extraI wonder if Andy had a little bit of a mental blip because of those line calls. He definitely got caught out by that. It goes to show, you put in so much good work, he had the momentum and a line call is a little bit off and suddenly it can change.
