I'd be surprised if he serves at 70%+ again in the tournament tbh. It's how well he copes when he's having to bang a higher percentage of second serves in that could dictate how far he goes.

Murray 3rd up on Centre again, so could be looking at 5 or 6 pm again. Depends how long Roddick takes against Melzer beforehand.
Brilliant match last night between Tommy Haas and Marin Cillic. They had to come off for bad light with the score at 6 - 6 in the last set, both having had match points.
It's a bit of a lottery now as either could just win with a minimum of 2 games. The momentum and dynamic is completely different to last night.

Haas wins it 10 - 8. Deserved it.
6th seed Jelena Jankovic bottles it for a change against 17 year old American qualifier Mel Oudin. Ana Ivanovic had her head on for a change and won surprisingly easily against Aussie Sam Stosur.

Roddick drops the third 6-4 after taking the first two in tie breaks.
I still feel there's not enough variety in Roddick's game to challenge the top four. Not comfortable at the net, and playes far too much behind the base line which you ca't get away with on grass against the best.
If Murray can get his first serve % up there against Roddicks if/when they meet in the semis, I'm confident he can beat him.

Roddick is still pretty much just a big serve artist. I don't enjoy watching pure big serve/no rally battles at all. My nightmare match would be Roddick vs Karlovic. No breaks of serve and four sets going to a tie-break, then the last, over a period of 5 and a half hours.
