I am streaming it on PC but yes sure it is red button thingy

Murray isn't a big clay man, but he is performing very badly.

Federer wasn't as dominant as he should have been.

granted but I was hoping he would make a decent showing, I know Gasquet is pretty useful but he should beat him

I did not see much of Federer match but he looked pretty dominant to me, the usual 1st round Federer (6-4, 6-2, 6-1?) he's never firing on all cylinders until he has to...

eta: Federer made only 11 unforced errors and lost just 14 of 64 points on his serve

what's your idea of dominance? he only lost two points on his serve in the first set, and then won the next two sets at the combined expense of only 3 games.

[chippy17]

oh dear 2 sets down, at least we won't have to look at his miserable face

True his points scoring was good, but the actual play just wasn't the usual Federer standard. That is all.

[Skylinecrazy]

Gasquets temperament is a disgrace.

He seems to surrender every time he has a few bad games.

You'll have to look at it for at least one more game.

What a comeback that was, might not of been the best tennis in the world but there were some great shots and it takes some to fight back from two and break down to win on your least favourite surface.

And it's the second time he's done it to Gasquet.

I think Gasquet blew a gasket

[North West Tom]

I hate it when players choke against Murray. How did Gasquet not win? I can see Murray going out early.

And it's fabulous in Eurosport HD!

[Skylinecrazy]

Gasquet is always the same!

If he wasn't such a tit, he'd be in the top 10 - he certainly has the potential.

[North West Tom]

He's one of my favourite players is Richard. That backhand

[MiniMan64]

This is a little more like it.

Are you watching Murrays second match or Venus Williams Moulin Rouge outfit?

[North West Tom]

Did anyone see the end of Monfils's match before it was postponed? They both looked very, very knackered.

Murrays first set.

Williams's outfit is just wrong on so many levels, I know only Wimbeldon has rules on clothing but wearing lingerie on court is surely crossing the line.

Especially with a body that has more muscles than Arnie in his prime!
