Murray's 2-1 down and 4-0 down in the fourth.
He's looking tired and down. Out on the canvas (I've found two more)

You should get a job doing the text commentary on the bbc website, it's so cliché/pun riddled it's almost painful to read at times

Murray's fiancee, Kim Sears, was also captured by television cameras apparently swearing at Berdych...

So something must have been said to upset the Murrays

The old bad habits resurfaced today for Murray.
He mentally lost his composure in the clutch moments in the third set and his clarity of thought deserted him.
From that moment he did not win another game.
After the match even Murray has admitted in the press conference that physically he was fine.
Deep down he knows he let the situation and outside elements get to him. At the highest level the focus has to be ruthless, remorseless and constant.
The remotest psychological breakdown against players like Djokovic create an inevitable outcome.
Murray collapsed mentally and deep down he knows it.
The discipline of the mind at the highest level is often the decisive factor. For the first two and a bit sets the quality of tennis from both men was outstanding but Djokovic is a machine. He will wear his opponents down with relentless consistency and force the opponent to go toe to toe for every minute. That's why he is an eight time slam champion
He forced a Murray collapse and in the end dismantled Murray's second serve.
A real disappointment for Murray who will look himself in the mirror and reflect on the disappointment of throwing a match away through a mental collapse.

That presumes that she did say those words, very easy to see/hear what you want, commentators seem to hear swear words that the umpire seem to miss even when they are sitting very close to Murray

Great win for GB Fed Cup team against Ukraine 3-0 to top their group and go into promotion playoff against Belarus who have Victoria Azarenka as part of their team so will be difficult task. Good luck to Heather Watson, Johanna Konta and doubles team Anna Smith and Jocelyn Rae

Andy Murray & his fiancee Kim Sears have named the date.
Their wedding will take place on 11 April at Murray's Cromlix House hotel, close to Dunblane.

He's getting his hotel refurbished in readiness.

Another case of tennis players, officials not understanding that Hawkeye doesn't take into account net cords.

Will be interesting to see if James Ward or Dom Inglot/Jamie Murray can provide a win to back up Andy Murray in Davis Cup this weekend in Glasgow.

The USA have John Isner, Donald Young and the Bryan Brothers in their team
