    Walking around between points looks painful for Andy Murray.

    When he's playing? Yeah, not so much. A sublime winner goes whizzing cross-court, bursting through Bautista Agut, before an ace takes him to 40-0.

    You can see there is restriction in Andy's play but he's fighting and let's hope that the atmosphere, the support from the crowd and a bit of adrenaline will help push him on and take the pain away a little bit.

    But Bautista Agut is a tough player and can go five sets so it's up to Andy to try to be a little bit more aggressive, take some more risks and try to serve a little bit better to finish points more quickly.

    It's taken 46 minutes for the first audible show of support for Roberto Bautista Agut. I'm not even sure these three lads are Spanish. Maybe they are Aussie jokers enjoying having a pop at the Brit...

    Murray has fought tooth and nail, he's ranting to his box as he always has, but he's disgusted with his own performance.
