Conditions were far from favorable

largest gallery of the week gathered
for the two matches, however, and war
rewarded by spectacular play.
Murray easily held the upper band
. the first two sets, but with the

would' go into extra sets, but st thi
stage Murray chsnged his tactics and
anchored himself st the barrier and by
spread-eagling first at one side and
then at the other, Murray's great agil

his service racing finally gave him the
