Murray/Murray lose in the doubles but at least Andy is through in the singles. Should be a good match tonight, scheduled for 00:00 BST. |

No surprise about the doubles result, against the number 2 seeds and wimbledon champions was always going to be a tough ask but it was good for the murray brothers to get a couple of matches in together leading into the olympics where they will be representing great britain Scott |

I havent even seen the match but what a result for Murray. His first win in 5 attempts against Nole, great win and hopefully he can get a little revenge on Nadal after the drubbing that the Wimbledon Champion gave him in the quarter finals at SW19 Scott |

I watched quite a bit of the second set - Murray played really well and I think he has a shot against Nadal. His defence was great as we can expect but he was regularly on the attack too and outplayed Djokovic for much of the match. Serve held up under pressure which was a good sign. Harcourts are probably Murray's best surface at the moment so im confident that this can be a three-set match. Im glad to see Murray in a Masters Series semi-final once again and I still believe he can take the number 6 spot in the world by the end of the US Open. |

Well ive held off long enough, ive paid off the sky bill and got it turned back on. Looking forward to seeing the match tonight and if Murray can produce what he done against Novak then he has a chance, but the same thing happened against Gasquet at Wimbledon where Murray played exceptionally well for the last 3 sets then faltered against Nadal. It was 5th time lucky for Murray against Djokovic so hopefully 5th time lucky against Nadal tonight Scott |

Was a valiant effort by Murray but once again Nadal was just too strong. Positives were that Murray more than doubled Nadals winners count, negatives, he also double Nadals error count, but still an improvement on Wimbledon. This tournament though a tournament to build apon with yet another masters series event next week Scott |

Nice and easy, Sam Querrey just didnt know what to do and was very predictable and when you have someone like Murray who can hit winners when on the back foot your always going to be in trouble, s a nice ice breaker for Murray in Cincy and hopefully another week like last week is in the offing Scott |
