Andy Murray must be thinking–finally. Murray had played two three setters in a row and claimed maybe he was too relaxed coming out of the gates leading to rusty play in opening sets against Kukushkin and Muller. Against Marcos Baghdatis, who Murray had a losing record against, Murray steamrolled to a 62 62 win getting 4 breaks and not being broken. Baghdatis is one of the few players that has a worst first serving percentage than Murray. He often serves around 50%. Murray had a respectable 60% in this match.
Bernard Tomic, who had been chastized by Rod Laver for not working hard enough, is having himself a pretty good tournament. He just beat Denis Istomin 63 76 and is in the semifinals where he’ll play Andy Murray. This will be their first encounter.
