Murray vs Young

After 2 days of stop and start action who came out on top?

The match started on Wednesday lunchtime with both men holding serve till Young was leading 2-1 but then the rain fell and the match was going to be carried out at the same time on Thursday. When play resumed Murray started to play good tennis and didn't allow the American wildcard a game until the end of the set. First set 6-2.

In the second set it was more of the same from Murray as he was certainly looking the stronger man as Young's game was faltering. Throughout the whole match Murray was the better man as he looked the capitalise on Young's quite poor performance. Second set Murray 6-3.

In the third Young went for his shots a bit more but to no prevail as Murray continued to play the tennis he needed to break down the young American. Murray was better in all departments and with the third set ending 6-3 Murray charges into the quarter finals against another American John Isner who came through in 4 sets against Frenchman Gilles Simon.
