MURRAY 4-6 4-6 2-2 - BREAK - Murray earns himself two break back points. But only the one is needed as he gets up to a drop shot from Troicki and dinks it back over the net for a drop shot winner of his own. We're back on serve in this third set

MURRAY 4-6 4-6 1-2 - BREAK - Troicki earns himself a break point and takes full advantage with a great forehand return of serve that has Murray on the back foot and the Scot's flailing backhand reply drifts harmlessly long to gift the Serb the game

MURRAY 4-6 4-6 1-0 - Murray holds for the opening game of the second set but his petulant behaviour continues as he keeps up an almost continous monoligue
-
MURRAY 4-6 4-6 - Murray was very lucky not to lose that second set on a code violation as he smashesd his second racquet in the match, this time on his foot. The umpire had already given him a warning and would be well within his rights to deduct a point this time but he didn't.

MURRAY 4-6 4-6 - SET - Troicki drops the first point of the game with a forehand into the net but he recovers in time to earn himself two set points with a great first serve that Murray cannot return. He saves the first with an angry, slapped forehand return winner across court and Troicki squanders the second with a double. But he gets a third chance when Murray hits wide and this time he finds a first serve that Murray cannot return. Troicki leads by two sets to love

But a double fault on the next point hands Troicki a break point.

MURRAY 4-6 - SET - Murray gets up to consecutive drop shots to put pressure on the Troicki serve at 30-30 before the Serb tries something different and works his way into the net to fire off a forehand volley winner.

Murray hits long to waste the chance, while Troicki saves a second with a drop shot and the Serb goes on to hold for the set when Murray hits long
