    Great game though. If it went to a 5th set, would have been interesting.

    Gonzalez was bloody brilliant!

    Andy Murray beats Argentina's Juan Ignacio Chela in a late night match on Saturday.

    Murray, who was taking revenge for defeat by Chela at last year's Australian Open, won 6-3 6-2 6-4.

    Haven't seen any of Murray's games unfortunately, seems to be very in form looking at his results.

    He seems to be gaining in confidence and his head is focused, has the shots and the game to play at the top level

    Yeah one game I have seen of him, he seemed to just self destruct. Playing at that level is all about psychology mostly. Did he seem to miss most of the big hitters on his end of the draw?

    Roger is a very cold player like Sampras was...I don't enjoy watching players without character.

    I really like Roddick's new game with Connors coaching him. His game at the net has improved out of site. Expecting HUGE things from him now.

    Col :)

    Far from it. He just doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve.

    True. He actually has a game now, whereas before it was just his big serve. Fitting that he is doing well too with Connors parent passing.

    All this tennis is going on just around the corner from my mum's house.

    The only time I get interested in tennis is when I realize that there's nowhere to park my car when I'm visiting my mum :p

    What a game of tennis Murray vs Nadal was. It could have very easily gone Murray's way I reckon.. taking it in the first three sets if he didn't throw away the second like he did!

    It was awesome match, greatest match I've ever seen. Rafael nadal came back very strong after the third set. Andy Roddick match is about to start now and I'm off to see that :D
