Andy Murray def. Xavier Malisse 6-3, 5-7, 6-3
Andy Murray had a strong start against big-hitting Belgian Xavier Malisse. The Belgian was lured into making too many mistakes in the opening set. Murray snagged an early break even though Malisse served at 76% for the set.
Malisse made a match of it in the second set. The Belgian continued to serve well, but he played better on the big points, staving off all 3 that Murray had against him. Malisse snatched a service break from Murray just as the Scot was serving to force a tiebreaker.
Murray got right back on track in the third. He got an immediate service break; the Scot got into trouble when he tried to consolidate the break, but he was able to serve his way out of 15-40 down. Murray moves into the round of 16 where he’ll play Janko Tipsarevic.
