Andy Murray faces Gilles Muller in the second round of his first tournament of the season, the Brisbane International.

Talk about a game of two halves. Murray was two points away from going out but, from the second-set tie-break, he was frankly incredible. Next up for the top seed is Marcos Baghdatis.

MURRAY: 4-6 7-6(3) 6-0 GAME SET AND MATCH! Bagel. Wow. Not a great start to this game as Muller DFs, and then a brilliant curling winner on the dive from Murray, classic shot from him to go 30-0 up. And another double fault to give Murray three match points! Muller pulls one back but he's only staving ff the inevitable as the next rally sees the Luxembourger go long. The final set as convincing for Murray as the first was unconvincing.

MURRAY: 4-6 7-6(3) 5-0 First blood to Muller here after an entertaining point of volleys and lobs sees the Luzembourger able to smash one away. And second point goes to him too as Murray now is in danger of taking his eye off the ball. Vicious serve through the middle though, 15-30, and he batters a few more in to hold. Could be a third-set bagel here, Muller serving to stay in Brisbane.

MURRAY: 4-6 7-6(3) 4-0 BREAK! Muller has collapsed as Murray goes 30-0 up thanks to a good solid return and some rotten serving. Muller angrily smashes it away though, pulling one back, but makes a poor error as he slices one into the net with Murray stranded. Two more break points... Taken as another unforced mistake sees Muller shank a forehand wide from the baseline - well wide too.

MURRAY: 4-6 7-6(3) 3-0 Muzzah's got his groove on but blots his copybook by double-faulting at 40-0. He holds nonetheless, with another ace. Whoosh. Drinks are taken...

MURRAY: 4-6 7-6(3) 2-0 BREAK! Murray is on fire now, sinking a forehand pass to make it break point at 30-40... First serve is out, and the second is smacked back for Muller to spoon his forehand wide! Break Murray!

MURRAY: 4-6 7-6(3) 1-0 Murray starts the final set with a bunch of aces as he holds to love. Clearly bouyed by that tie-break and that frankly incredible shot which brought up the match points.

MURRAY: 4-6 7-6(3) SET MURRAY! The next point sees Murray overhit a forehand but it's still three set points... only two now as Muller sinks a vicious return off the line. but a lovely sweeping forehand while off balance leaves Muller for dead and Murray takes the second set.

MURRAY: 4-6 6-6(6-3) An incredible point from Murray! Muller had beaten him with a drop, but Murray met it and spun it across the net - Muller again made it, drifting it across the net himself and, with Murray seemingly beaten in the corner, he played it through his legs to leave Muller floundering! Four set points...

MURRAY: 4-6 6-6(5-2) The Scot is in charge of this tie-break as he keeps serve and gets another mini-break, 5-2 now.

MURRAY: 4-6 6-6(3-1) Via an unsuccessful Muller challenge, Murray zips a mini-break up but the Scot can't return serve and it's 3-1.

PS the scoring for ATP Brisbane is not working at the moment. It is a technical bug and something we have no access to. We are told engineers are working on it. The score is 6-4 6-6 to Muller.

MURRAY: 4-6 6-6 The point was crucial and Murray took it with a cute drop shot after what seemed like an impossible leaning volley across the net from Muller. Ace to hold and it's a second-set tie-break!

MURRAY: 4-6 5-6 Murray pings one clear of Muller after a baseline rally. A similar exchange follows but this time Murray gets it wrong, going a fraction wide. Then a lucky Murray twice uses the net in a point he wins as the second fluke - a power double-hander that almost takes the white off - leaves Muller stranded but lands in. Then Murray nets after some very crisp forehands from Muller. 30-30. This next point is crucial...

MURRAY: 4-6 5-6 Muller races 40-0 up as Murray has no answer to his serve and baseline combinations. I've been really impressed by Muller today, great variation in his shot making and some powerful serves - like the one he brings out to hold to love. Murray again serving to stay in the match.

MURRAY: 4-6 5-5 Wonderful rally sees Muller level to 15-15 as he flies about with volleys at the net, the backhand on the spin landing beyond Murray. But Murray bites back with some strong serves and he holds to 15.

MURRAY: 4-6 4-5 Muller with an ace that Murray almost challenges but decides not to. Mind-games surely. 40-0 now as a brave Muller comes to net and harasses Murray into netting. And an unreturnable serve makes it a love hold and Murray must serve to stay in the match!

MURRAY 4-6 4-4: Murray is at his happiest controlling points from deep and he does so, mixing up the angles of his approaches and executions as Muller eventually nets. Then a wicked pass on the move sees Murray hold, having come back from two break points that would have left Muller serving for the match.

MURRAY: 4-6 3-4 After a rest and a change of ends the second set restarts. Murray drops the first two points on serve and he's in a spot of bother here but he brings one back with a strong serve. But a double fault follows and two break points! The next return is long, as is the next, two big serves at a crucial time and it's deuce.

MURRAY: 4-6 3-4 Murray with a failed challenge on a wide return and soon Muller is 30-0 up. His next return, off second serve, skews wide and Muller holds to love with another ace.
