5-7 3-6 7-6 (7-3) 6-2 6-4

The turning point seemed to be initiated by the crowd, with young French player complaining about the noise and chanting between points. Of course the crowd were then even more spurred on, in that the support for Murray was getting to him.

In the second set leading up to the 11th, Gasquet looked in total control and was cruising to victory then bang. Something seem to immediately loose his concentration. From then on, he didnt look anything like the player he was in the first set and games in the second. It really was quite a turn around. In the games leading up to the 6-5 lead in the 3rd set, Gasquet produced classy, world class tennis, with passing shots that looked so easy. He looked calm and in total control of proceedings.

Murray took full control of the match and won theĀ  next 3 sets winning the match. It was sport at its best and with no UK participation the country is now again rejoicing sporting success. Success may be seen by some only by winning the Wimbledon competition, but for someone to produce such great entertainment, tennis and determination, its gives us British a lot of hope for future.

Murray will now play the recent French Open winner Rafal Nadal, who will provide a tougher test than Gasguet. However full credit go to both men in todays match, Gasquest took part Murray in the first 2 sets. Nadal and Federer will not have it easy in the next few years if these guys aged 22 and 21 respectively, repeat and improve on their great showings today.
