2 sets up now and he should now put Robredo away

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Big shout to Tommy Haas winning his game - a Hamburg legend! He's been playing better over the last 2-3 years than he was at what should have been his peak.

That shoulder injury absolutely killed his career, quality player at his best.

 

[darlowolf64]

Well that was fairly straight forward for Murray. 3 set win and not really troubled

 

[Freddeno]

When I mentioned djokovic, nadal and federer I left out murray. He has clearly raised his game in the last years and is quick has good returns and he deserves to be in the top

 

[Jolemai]

Robson is a set down against Erakovic..

 

[slink]

Robson breaks back in the second set, 5-5.

Robson holds and then breaks again to level the match at 1 set all.

 

[Nando]

Fantastic Laura!

 

[slink]

She breaks again in the second game of the third set. 2-0.

 

[slink]

0-40 down but Robson holds onto her serve and then breaks again, 8 games in a row and she leads 4-0 in the final set.

 

[slink]

Laura takes her second match point to win 6-3 in the 3rd. Not great but she got it done in the end.

 

[YoungWolf]

Brilliant! Be great if she could get to the quarter finals

 

[DewsburyWolf]

She (possibly) faces A Riske in the next round

 

[FrankMunro-371]

It has been many a year since we had a top player in the ladies game. I wonder just how good Laura can become.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Djokovic awesome today. Ferrer v Dolgopolov is just bonkers entertainment

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The guy's a nutter, plays some incredible shots! Ferrer through eventually.

Re: Robson - she's got all the tools, just needs to be a bit more calculated at times, that will come with experience though. You don't beat the players she has beaten over the last year if you're not a bit special.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Robson breaks, now to serve for the first set.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Doesn't take it, Kanepi breaks back comfortably. 5-5.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

First set tiebreak. Robson wins the first point against the serve...
