Oh me of little faith; Andy's brought it back to 4-4 final set. Always the fighter, he deserves the win but then I always say that. Not good for my bp these days. x

I started watching in the third set and stopped when he looked to be losing only to come back to him about to break for a 5-4 lead!
This guy beat him in the their last encounter so well done Andy.

The Russian committed too many UFE's, but was going for it more than Murray. Russian was very sporting, often applauding Murray's winners. Murray hung in well to get the result.

Loved how Andy didn’t give up, when does he ever, but I did think he might’ve let their last match get into his head.

Well done Andy!! Very exciting 3rd set!
