To be honest, I think that both matches have great potential and I'm gonna try to stay awake for both!

A couple of poor errors from Ferrer there. Murray has the break for 3-1...

Wow, total collapse from Ferrer in that game after being 40-15 up.

Murray is just a really bad opponent for Ferrer on a hard court. It is hard with his playing style to know exactly what to do against someone with Murray's game.

Ugh. I can't believe how many times I've seen players lose their serve while 40-0 up today. Disgusting.

Ferrer is shanking big right now. Maybe this will be a quick one after all

2 things do not change, the ball has to, has to go over the net. The ball has to land in the court. Whatever happens beyond that may be out of your control...
I agree. I don't understand why Raonic-Monfils is the primetime game. This match has bigger names, and better seeds. Doesn't make any sense to me.

Look at the type of match we're watching now.
That's why. Counterpuncher vs Counterpuncher sucks.

Yes, to benefit Murray, faster conditions will help hit through Ferrer... very simple choice for the tournament's best interest.

Poor Ferrer got broken being 40-0 up making 4 straight errors. He is missing an easy shots which is a bit unusual considering his nature of his shots (high margin of error). Murray too is not playing good as last year (missing too much, dumping balls in net etc) but he will win this since it seems like just as Nishikori, Ferrer has lost this match in his mind before first point was played. It's unfortunate these Top Ten players have no themselves against Top four. Tennis need a new crop of youngsters replacing Ferrers, Berdychs, Nishikoris early as possible.

About time tbh. Nadal and him could live next to each other in Helsinki.

Ferrer holds for 1-0, 2nd set. Quite the zzzz match so far, with only a few rare nice rallies. Getting a tad better...

Murray's 4 man squad the most entertaining thing so far.

You have to appreciate Ferrer's positivity, as opposed to Kei's complete resignation for 2 and a half sets yesterday. Ferrer was absolutely awful for about 15 minutes in the 1st set there, but he kept plugging away and is playing decently again. Kei would be down a double break in the second by now after a bad patch like that.
