Yeh pretty unlucky for Gonzo, cant see him being any more than cannon fodder for Nadal given the circumstances.

Why can't Fox Sports show Murray vs. Verdasco?

WTF is the point of their second week's coverage? Its useless!

Seven has the rights to show all the matches on the main two courts live. It's BS but understandable.

 

[Jono]

I had a feeling it may be that. **** Hisense Arena anyway. First its not even part of the general admission ground pass tickets like it used to be, and now we cant even watch those matches.

Verdasco smashes Murray in the 2nd set 6-1, breaking him 3 times.

 

[Simon]

Good to see Verdasco belt Murray in that set, what a gun. Finish the job now Fernando.

 

[Dydl]

Murray-Verdasco match very interesting. Not in terms of scoreline, more regarding the complete dominance of the set by the player who wins it.

 

[Simon]

yeh very up and down 6-2 1-6 6-1 0-3 at the moment

 

[Jono]

^ Yeah so true, weird. Really wish I could watch this.

Anyway Rafa just beat Gonzo in straight sets. Legend.

 

[superkingdave]

2 sets all, Verdasco serving very well...Murray playing pretty poor..93% first serve for Verdasco in that set!

 

[Jono]

Think Rafa's the only player left to not drop a set now.

 

[Simon]

C'mon Fernando, really hope he can get through here.

 

[duffer]

Felt pretty bad for Azarenko when she was hobbling off. Stars are aligning for Serena big time here.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

That's that, then. Verdasco breaks to 4-3.

 

[Dydl]

And then holds serve, so he should really win it now.

EDIT: And finally someone can back up winning a set. And Murray's out.

 

[Simon]

WOOT!!!! Verdasco WAG!

So glad Murray is gone, Verdasco is so gun.

 

[duffer]

Hahahahaha, Murray. Just pissed off I couldn't watch it happen.

 

[inbox24]

ROFL, did Murray lose? If so great because the guy thinks he's a god of tennis, so aloof and arrogant.

 

[duffer]

Gonna enjoy work tommorow. Much love to Verdasco, hope he wins it all now.

 

[vogue]

Ha! That will teach me to laze around in bed....missed the Murray match....so he's out...

I am a bit surprised...wonder if he had a bit of a strop about it...will have to catch updates....
Still,glad to see Nadal going strong...

Sitting down to the Blake-Tsonga match.... 0-2 atm

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Murray was perfectly fine in the post-match, admitted straight away that he wasn't good enough and Verdasco served too well in the last two sets.

Not watching it anymore but that first set from Tsonga and Blake had some amazing tennis in it.
