Andy Murray advanced to the third round of the Artois Championships at a canter this afternoon, after his opponent, Sebastien Grosjean retired due to a injury to his left hip flexor muscle.

The British number one showed promising signs from the first point, producing several break point opportunities before the Frenchman sustained his injury. Murray held serve after saving a break point, but the discomfort was evidently too much for Grosjean and he defaulted at 2-0.

Andy Murray has confirmed that he will compete at The Boodles Challenge 2008 next week in preparation for Wimbledon.

The event, which will also feature Novak Djokovic and David Nalbandian, is played on grass at the Stoke Park Club in Buckinghamshire between 17-21 June.

According to another site "Andy played brilliantly in those 15 minutes" ...
Must be true.

Serve worked well anyway, 3 aces if I remeber with only one service game and two were 134mph and 136 mph.  He was just warming up.

Yum, slice of fortune

Murray after his match:

"It was at least nice to finish with two aces with a serve as poor as mine!"

Did he say that in the petch interview?  I heard that all and I have no idea how I missed it.

Just watching the interview now and he was having a laugh with Petch and he looks so comfortable.  Why can't all his interviews be like this, he shows his true personalily and people would stop calling him miserable.

Didn't expect the match to end like that.
