I watched the entire match and am fairly encouraged. Mobility looked good and Verdasco had to give everything to win where Murray wasn’t all that accurate, yet still played some great points.

Another solid step back on his road back to the top.

Murray gone.

Andy takes the second 6-2

Looks ridiculously hot out there.

Andy Murray loses first set to Verdasco having had set points.

Playing quite well, but a bit rusty. Step up in class from what he has been used to on the comeback trail.

Andy Murray wins on comeback.

Kyle Edmund was knocked out earlier on.

Probably doesn't get to sleep til about 8am, with all the adrenaline and whatnot. It's an absolute joke.

It really is.

Good to see that post injury Andy is just thinking about the Slams. Pre injury he would have just got on with it, hence the mess his body was in.

Watching some highlights he looks really fit, and compared to the matches he tried to play in comeback pre Christmas, where he had massively restricted movement he looks really mobile.

I want him finishing his career on 6 or 7 slams, so he better not let me down.

He should sack off the French and concentrate on the other three. He has been runner up in the Aus about 5 times, so he is due there for sure. Wimbledon he has the home support, and the US is his favourite tournament.

great to see what it means to him.

I see hes talking about bailing out of the tournament after finishing at 3am and due back on court today.

Benoît Paire taking defeat in his stride. This outburst cost him £12k.
