00:00Passing shot was great, you know, Sam Gould didn't have any answer.
00:03Also Sam Gould's first serve percentage was a little bit too low today, just below, I mean it was just around 60%.
00:08So I think that did not...
00:12Actually 59% and you're 1% out, that's just not good enough.
00:16Stephanie, your thoughts about Murray, just a really, really solid performance, wasn't it?
00:21Yeah, and just going to add on, we're back talking about the first serve.
00:24We know that Sam said it was going to be really important for him to serve well.
00:27And if you looked at his last match, it was about 80% first serve.
00:31And I attribute that to Murray's good returns as putting more pressure on Sam Gould,
00:36making him try to go bigger than what he's used to, and that's why that percentage of serve dropped down.
00:42Adam, how would Andy Murray have prepared for this match against Gould?
00:46We know he took Roger Federer to four sets at Wimbledon last year.
00:51Would Murray have obviously practiced against a big server,
00:53but maybe have got that server to stand in court and just get the ball to bounce more and just a quicker serve?
00:59Yeah, exactly, Jason.
01:01I mean, I think he's got his coach standing inside the service line, trying to serve big.
01:05And I mean, Andy Murray's return is one of the best in the business, you know.
01:09I mean, his anticipation, he's got...
01:11I mean, Sam Groff was playing old school tennis, which was good to see, serve and volley.
01:16But everything...
01:16He's got the best in view, yeah.
01:17Yeah, everything was on his...
01:19You know, he was picking up balls on his toes, Sam Groff.
01:22What does Sam Groff need to do now to advance, to get higher up the rankings?
01:27He's got a massive weapon in the serve, but it's not enough, is it, when you're playing?
