RESULT: Andy Murray Vs Juan Ignacio Chela - 3rd Round - Australian Open 2007
Didn't get into work this weekend so apologies for the late post.
Obviously you know by now that Murray defeated Chela 6-3 6-2 6-4. I managed to watch a recording on Saturday afternoon without finding out the result beforehand, so I had some decent entertainment.
The result makes it look like Murray was comfortable, but the truth is that Murray was RIDICULOUSLY comfortable. Looking at the players it seemed hard to imagine how Chela had got as far as he had.
That's not meant to insult Chela, but I think Murray does that to a lot of players. He mixed up the pace of the rallies so much that Chela couldn't find a rhythm. At no point did Murray ever look out of control of this match. The only blip came in the third set when the players traded breaks, but this seemed to be as much a touch of boredom forcing a lack of concentration on Murray's part.
Murray got to show most of his range of shots - even coming into the net and showing some razor-sharp volleying. Murray is at his absolute best at the moment and if he can carry that through into the Nadal match - then the world number two could have his hands full.
