Ito puts a forehand long and Andy has the break and will serve for the 2nd set. I hope that he does this cleanly.

Yes! Ito hits long after some great defence from Andy. Andy breaks and will serve for the set.
Please not a repeat of the last set when he had to serve it out. Always seems to struggle serving it out these days. :/

Thankfully got the break... but what is it with Andy when he's got 3 break points???? Another pattern?

Ito handed him that one.
Andy did give Ito the break back with some poor serving, so favour returned I guess.

The big worry from murrays point of view is he is pumped in a first round match that he is winning on the back unforced errors!
He needs to save some if that energy for being more positive in his play

Brilliant shot there. For some reason kept on going to the Ito forehand and being put on the defensive but a quality cross-court FH. Three SPs. And takes the first with an unreturned serve.  6-1, 7-5. Thank god for that.

No worry there at all. That's just Andy, when he has a bit of a struggle he pumps himself a little bit. It's not like he was shouting or screaming, just a few fist pumps. No energy wasted there.

Andy takes the 2nd set 7-5 but didn't make it easy on himself. Right, buffet cart I think. I can't believe they are going to WTA match instead of Andy  I've got one of the Williams brothers now
