    *Wawrinka 6-3 4-6 2-1 Murray

    An aerial Wawrinka sends a backhand volley into the net, but then a ridiculous bit of play, both players trying to beat one another at the net, ends with Murray smashing his way to a break back point.

    This is, genuinely, such a lot of fun.

    *Wawrinka 6-3 4-6 2-1 Murray

    OH!

    Serve and volley from Murray, Wawrinka stretches and smashes a screamer of a forehand past him!

    What a return! Game, Wawrinka!

    Wawrinka 6-3 4-6 1-1 Murray*

    Stan Wawrinka is absolutely mullering his forehands but Andy Murray is somehow meeting them shot for shot, before a return from the stretched Brit eventually drifts long.

    Here's the first test for Murray - two loose shots, and Wawrinka has two break points.

    Stan responds well, sealing his first service game with an ace before tossing the balls down to the other end as if to say "over to you".

    This decider is going to be a battle.

    *Wawrinka 6-3 4-6 0-1 Murray

    Andy Murray couldn't have asked for a better start to this third set.

    A comfortable service hold with Wawrinka's legs looking a little heavy.

    Wawrinka 6-3 4-6 0-0 Murray*

    Murray's coach Jamie Delgado was on his feet there. Wawrinka is having a tetchy word with the umpire.

    Momentum with Murray?

    The Scot will serve first in the decider...

    Wawrinka 6-3 4-6 Murray

    Andy Murray!

    You make absolutely no sense. He digs in, digs deep, and as Wawrinka's backhand falters, Murray lets out a shout of "come on".

    Hello, decider!

    *Wawrinka 6-3 4-5 Murray

    Shot!

    Wawrinka approaches the net but it's hurried, and he's passed, and passed gloriously, by Murray.

    Set point for Murray!

  11. Postpublished at 16:45 British Summer Time 20 October 2019

    *Wawrinka 6-3 4-5 Murray

    A furious slam of the hat from Murray as a glorious shot is called out, the umpire corrects it - and a Murray challenge shows the shot was in!

    Oh, that's cruel. Murray argues his point but we're going to have to replay it. 30-30.

    *Wawrinka 6-3 4-5 Murray

    Obviously, after a big double fault, Wawrinka produces a huge, swinging ace. Obviously.

    That's a great forehand from Wawrinka and Murray lets out a yell of frustration as he nets his return.

    30-30.

    *Wawrinka 6-3 4-5 Murray

    Well.

    A long forehand from Stan Wawrinka is followed by a double fault, and he's quickly 0-30 down.

    *Wawrinka 6-3 4-5 Murray

    A lucky wobble off the net goes Andy Murray's way, a racquet thrown up in apology as his forehand just makes it over.

    Serve out wide, Wawrinka blocks it into the net - and that's a hold for Murray!

    Wawrinka 6-3 4-4 Murray*

    Ace!

    This goes swinging straight through Wawrinka's racquet, giving Murray the advantage, but he hoicks a forehand wide to take us back to deuce.

    Good first serve, and Wawrinka can only power a forehand into the net.

    Deuce. Murray roars.

    Wawrinka 6-3 4-4 Murray*

    Cross-court goes the Murray forehand and it's called out, but he challenges...

    ...Stan doesn't seem sure, and he's right not to be. It's in!

    Replay the point at 30-40.

    Big first serve from Muzza.

    30-40, one more break point to stave off...

    Wawrinka 6-3 4-4 Murray*

    Murray, furious as he sends a backhand into the tape, absolutely smashes himself on the thigh in annoyance.

    He follows it with a big, swinging ace for 15-15, but an error and a brutal Wawrinka smash that ends up hammering into Murray's ankle gives the Swiss two break points...
