Started slow, went 5-2, came back strong, forced the tie breaker, then blew it. Going to serve in the second set. Commentators are right, he's not being aggressive enough, not coming into the net enough, chipping too often when he should be properly hitting the ball. Just not killing off points, and allowing Ferrer back into points that he should have killed off.
Looks like Murray's just realised that he can't stay at the back of the court and hope to win, at least it'll be a decent competition now. The way he was playing, and his body language, if he'd gone break down the match would have been as good as over.
