    First serve is everything for Murray. Second serve just not good enough. He is better in games with long rallies...sadly, so is his opponent. Andy is placing the ball well though, which he wasn't doing particularly in his last match against a big server.

    These two are so good to watch. The sun is clearly a problem when serving from the end nearest the camera.

    I'm taking Clarityn now, but should have been taking it earlier in anticipation. Also cracked the Beconaise out.

    I've been taking a couple of hayfever pills every morning for a couple of weeks now, making no difference, it's still killing me.

    Decided to suck it up and sit outside. Brought my laptop (for the tennis), some cider and the cat. So far so good.

    There is no way that these two can keep this intesity up in the heat...one of them (or both) will have a dip in form sooner or later. The winner will be the one who is the fittest.

    Yeah, I'm struggling a little with the glare. Gotta angle it right.

    I just hope this game is over soon so Murray can change his shirt!

    Djokovic is already coming into the net a lot more than normal. He clearly wants to keep the points short. If Murray can win this first set Djokovic has to go 4 sets and the longer this goes the more that long Del Potro match HAS to be a factor.

    Djokovic not looking his normal self. Let's hope Andy keeps control, great start.

    Anyone who is trying to watch this game by wandering in and out of the garden needs to think again. The score will tell you little...every point is a marathon. A match of great drama.

    If he wins this next set, I really can't see Novak having the fitness to win the last 3 sets.
