*Murray 6-3 2-3 BerdychMurray gets the advantage on the Berdych serve and has a chance to forge ahead in this second set. His return is long and we return to deuce again. Berdych nets - Murray has another break chance - but Berdych aces to bring it back to deuce yet again. An ace gives the Czech the advantage, and he sees it out to go 3-2 up.
