A tough day at the office for Andy Murray
It was a damp cold day for the tennis fans at Queens Club today. A day for hot soup rather than Pimms!
Marin Cilic the number 8 seed, started the proceedings by sweeping aside Arnaud Clement of France in straight sets before the rain came.
Andy Murray got his championship under way against Xavier Malisse of Belgium. What a fabulous start for Murray taking the first set convincingly. However a rain delay, a twinge in his ankle and a dip in concentration let Malisse back into the match and Malisse took the second set 7-5. Murray dug deep and eventually secured the final set 6-3.
Murray will have to up his game if he is to beat the Serbian world number 31 Janko Tipsarevic tomorrow
Another nail biting match in store for us all!
For all the Rafael Nadal fans out there, he effortlessly cruised to victory 6-4 6-4 in one hour and 14 minutes.
