发帖数: 12850 | 1 British number one Andy Murray produced another solid performance to beat
Frenchman Gilles Simon in the third round of the Monte Carlo Masters.
The Scot carried on where he left off against Radek Stepanek in round two on
Wednesday to seal a 6-3 6-3 victory.
Simon needed treatment for a twisted ankle at the end of the first set, but
by then Murray was already in control.
The third seed did what was needed in set two to line up a quarter-final
with Portuguese qualifier Federico Gil.
"I thought it was a good match until he got hurt," said Murray.
"Once I got my position on the court and could use my forehand to open the
court on his backhand I was able to dictate a lot of the points - then he
got his injury.
"It changed the match. You always feel you are in the driving seat but it's
not a lot of fun, it spoils the concentration.
"You know you are in the driving seat and you want to put the foot down and
finish the match as efficiently as possible.
"Drop shots were winning me virtually every single point - I had to keep
moving him."
Murray began the match in confident fashion, winning a lengthy rally to
break serve in the opening game, only to hand the advantage back with a
loose volley in game two.
The drop shot was a key tactic for Murray from the early stages, with
varying degrees of success, but it was the more reliable backhand down the
line that earned him a second break at 4-3 after a sloppy game from Simon.
Murray moved swiftly to the brink of the opening set, only for Simon to roll
his ankle and require treatment for six minutes.
With the ankle heavily taped, the Frenchman returned to court, but it was no
surprise when two errors immediately handed Murray the set.
Clearly struggling to move freely, Simon decided the only tactic left open
to him was all-out attack, and it worked long enough to earn him a break at
the start of the second set.
Murray soon got wise to the new game plan, however, and began to deploy the
drop shot with ruthless repetition, much to the displeasure of the Monte
Carlo crowd.
However, for a man seeking his first back-to-back wins in three months it
was the right move and he swept through the next five games.
Simon gave the home crowd one final moment to cheer when he broke serve with
Murray trying to close out the match, but the Scot made no mistake second
time around and sealed victory after one hour and 35 minutes. | K****D
