Yep, a US meaningless sport They only invent simple & high scoring games as they have such a short attention span

It was t i t for tat for points. Stanislas Wawrinka gave Murray a hard time across the court with quick change in direction. Good positioning too. Wawrinka seem to be better psychologically out there, he really never lost his temper much. But emotions were high with every shot with Murray. Must be hard to play with the crowd behind the other guy.

Murray complained it was the closed roof and lights that effected his game.......didn't seem to have an effect on his opponent!

Anyone with money on Murray winning the tournament must be worried about the number of service breaks. Fingers crossed though.

In my many years as a barfly there, I certainly learnt to say everything in 20 second sound bytes.........then whoooooooosh, they were gone.
So nice to be in the UK and chat in often totally meaningless meanderings.

Yep, thought Wawrinka was going to easily win at the start, he silenced the crowd too.
