Well done Andy, next round against the #100 ranked player who normally plays in the Chalenger circut.

Forgot to say earlier, someone mentioned what Andy wrote on the camera after the match. I think it might have been something to do with Ross Hutchins.

In one of the articles on Ross he refers to a nickname Andy calls him that no one else does. Andy wrote the name when he won Brisbane. I can't remember what the name is, but know it began with P. Apparently Andy has been using this nickname for Ross for years. I'll see if I can find the article and find out what the name is. At least then I will make sense.

He called him Petchers. I'm sure

You're right.

It's Perchers, I just checked. No idea what it's about, but there we are.

Wow Prodigy, I just watched the match, thank you so much!! And the interview, surely won't show that here in the US.  I will send that URL to my home email and save on my computer.  I loved how fast Andy was in this match zinging the balls left and right and wonderful net play.  I think that Haase got a lot of balls back and the match could have gone either way had it not been for Andy's smart playing.  I wasn't too happy about the breaks of serve on Andy's side, but when you are two breaks up, it's easy to get a little loosy goosey and lose concentration, the important thing was that Andy was able to come right back.

Thanks again!!

I think half of MW are feeling a bit tired today. I am normally an early bedder but awake at 12.00am with no explanation about the match. So I went to sleep and woke up to find my box was not recording. Then when I checked it said that the match was on the other eurosport channel. So I set it to record but you would think they would give people a warning about change of time and channel. So I was able to watch the match this morning. Great match by Andy a good all round performance.

Great stuff Andy. Great interview at the end. Looking so relaxed. Nice to see A.N.D.Y back again. I do love the Australian open & i think its gonna be Andy as he has been so close in the past. Will never tire of hearing U.S open & olympic champion Andy Murray. Looking forward to the season.

I stand corrected. It was Perched. Being tired has clearly got to my brain lol.

I think it is 'percher'  You could read it more clearly on today's camera - and it is also mentioned in this article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-2259745/Ross-Hutchins-My-bond-Andy-Murray-help-win-2013-Australian-Open.html

I thought it might be, given that it was quite a long name he wrote.

Extremely odd. Don't really understand where this articles coming from - or going to.

Have only just read it.  Pathetic, especially as I don't think it's true that the Aussie have 'gone off' Andy, given the massive cheers he got in the on-court interview, particularly, for whatever reason, for his Olympic win.
