  1. 4-6 - MURRAY IS THROUGH TO THE QUARTER-FINALS! Petzschner manages to save the first match point with a great reaction backhand volley across court but Murray gets it at the second attempt when his attacking play sees the German hit into the net

  2. 0-40 - A ferocious forehand deep into the court from Murray leaves Petzschner practically in the first row of the stands as he attempts to chase it down. It also earns Murray three match points ...

  3. 4-5 - Petzschner holds his nerve to force Murray to serve out the match after the change of ends

  4. 3-5 - Another service game goes the way of Murray and Petzschner will serve to stay in the match after an hour and five minutes

  5. 3-4 - Petzschner holds with a backhand that lands right on the sideline. Murray challenges but to no avail!

  6. 2-4 - Ace number six from Murray helps him cruise through another service game to leave him just two games away from a spot in the quarter-finals

  7. 2-3 - Better again from Petzschner as he holds to stop himself from falling further behind - the hard work is done by Murray though

  8. 1-3 - Another couple of aces, including one at 202kph, and Murray cements the second set break and looks to be cruising

  9. 1-2 - MURRAY BREAKS! Spoke to soon - Petzschner throws in a horrible service game that ends with Murray breaking when the German slaps a forehand long

  10. 1-1 - Murray has dropped just the four points on serve in this game so far as he holds to love once again to level up

  11. 1-0 - Much more solid from Petzschner again as he recovers from dropping that first set to cruise through his opening service game in the second set

  12. 2-6 - THE FIRST SET GOES TO MURRAY! Petzschner is trying to be a little too clever for his own good and another unforced error from the German and the Scot has an easy first set

  13. 2-5 - MURRAY BREAKS AGAIN! A couple of absolute gifts from Petzschner and Murray has had to do very little to get himself in a position to serve out the set after just 30 minutes

  14. 2-4 - Murray holds again - he's playing better today than yesterday but still there is nothing to get particularly excited about so far in this match

  15. 2-3 - Petzschner holds to stop the run of games against him but he is already a break down with Murray beginning to looking increasingly comfortable

  16. 1-3 - Three aces in a game from Murray and the Scot has cemented the break with ease

  17. 1-2 - MURRAY BREAKS! It took him five attempts but finally Murray manages to secure the break as Petzschner runs out of steam

  18. 40-A - Amazing defensive skills from Murray gifts the Scot another chance at securing the early break but Petzschner is really playing well and a fearsome inside out forehand across court saves the day for the German

  19. 15-40 - Murray earns himself the first break points of the match as Petzschner just misses a forehand drive volley across court ...

  20. 1-1 - Murray also off the mark, after a game riddled with errors. Admittedly more from the Petzschner racquet than the Scot's but still not a winner in sight in that game

  21. 1-0 - A solid opening service game from Petzschner, holding off Murray to deuce with a neat drop shot followed by a ferocious forehand passing shot

  22. 0-0 - Petzschner to get the clash underway then ...

  23. 14:06 - These two players have never met before but Murray has won the toss and elected to receive first

  24. 14:03 - The players are out on the court already and going through their warm-up so the action should be underway in a few minutes

  25. 13:57 - Hello and welcome to eurosport yahoo!'s LIVE coverage of this second round clash between Andy Murray and Phillip Petzschner from Doha
