15/40 as Robson lobs long again but a great return sees Marino go long and it's 5-1 to Robson

Keep the updates coming Darlo. You are quicker than the BBC Live Text!

Got not a lot else to do really sniffer! :commentator:

 

[darlowolf64]

So here we go.... Robson wins the first point, 15/love
and the second, 30/love as Marino is long again
Some real power shots and it's 3 match points
Went for a big ace first serve long, but powers through a rally on 2nd serve and it's Game Set and Match! 6/4, 6/1

wow, after the way she did so well in her last game half expected her to lose this one, top stuff!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

wow, after the way she did so well in her last game half expected her to lose this one, top stuff!

So pessimistic for one so young...

6-4 6-1 and all fairly routine.

 

[YoungWolf]

it's called being a Wolves fan

 

[Langers]

Brilliant - well done Laura!

And well done, Darlo.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

murray match delayed as the roof is closed again. quite looking forward to this match, and the polish bloke who just won looks a dangerous opponent in murray's half, so at least there is the prospect of him being tested.

 

[Langers]

Murray breaks in the 3rd game. Excellent, confident start.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

2 breaks up and now a complete bag of cack of a service game from Murray

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

still 4-2 though so should be fine for this set

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

immediate break back from murray and now I expect him to coast to a set up

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

first set to Murray. fairly routine so far.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

talking to myself obviously. murray a break up at the start of the second. brutalising robredo's second serve. the stats are mental - murray winning 90% of the points on that second serve

 

[Nando]

Andy's playing well but Robredo's playing right into his hands. It will be over very quickly at this rate.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Robredo was never a serious opponent for Murray, he's never gone past the third round at Wimbledon. A likeable guy and a good clay court player but this is just cannon fodder.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

agreed - should be a routine win really.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

oh - robredo waking up here

 

[Nando]

It should, but Robredo isn't trying anything different to make it difficult for Andy.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Murray about to serve for the second set. Nothing going on here that suggests Robredo can get back into it. Murray is comfortably dominant really.
