30-40 - A few signs of resistance from Nadal as he pushes Murray to 30-30 but the Spaniard has nothing left and a forehand into the net quickly hands Murray three match points ...

0-4 - Back-to-back aces from Murray to race through another hold and cement the double break

0-2 - Much, much better on serve from Murray as he holds with a serve out wide that Nadal can only hit into the net as he attempts to go for a forehand return down the line

4-6 - A series of agressive ground-strokes from Nadal followed by a delicate forehand volley winner bring up three set points for the Spaniard ... and NADAL TAKES THE SECOND SET with a seventh straight break of serve, when Murray hits long

3-5 - Nadal is in this game on sheer persistance alone as he BREAKS ONCE AGAIN with a forehand return of servce whipped back across court and onto the sideline. Nadal will now serve for the set

3-3 - Nadal fires an inside out forehand across court to insert some spark back into this match, which had temporarily just got a bit flat. The shot brings up a break point for Nadal ... and THE SPANIARD BREAKS again, working Murray around the basline before putting a backhand volley just out of the Scots reach. Murray does just get his racquet to the ball but it's too far gone and his backhand dribbles back into the bottom of the net

3-1 - Murray seems to have lost concentration at some point during that injury break as he slips to 0-40 on his serve ... the Scot does well to recover the first two break points ... but he hits a forehand into the net on the third and NADAL BREAKS!

2-1 - Murray produces a scintilating forehand pass down the line at full pace and full stretch to force Nadal to deuce ... but Murray hits out on the next point and Nadal pushes the Scot out wide on the next before releasing some tension and frustration with an emphatic smash to hold

1-0 - Nadal is really being beaten back by Murray, struggling with the Scot's pace on the forehand in particular, as he hits long again of that side. Nadal just looks tired - apparently his camp tried to persuade him not to play this week, to take more time after his exploits in Australia ... but the Spaniard was determined not to pull out and it looks as though that decision could have caught up with him today

3-5 - Nadal holds to love with a service winner straight down the T to put all the pressure back on Murray. Only the one break in it, remember

2-4 - A stunning forehand down the line from Murray, than Nadal can only return into the net, helps the Scot to his first break point of the day ... and MURRAY DOES BREAK at the first attempt as Nadal pushes his forehand just long

2-2 - Both players are still battling with their first serves and leaking a few points as a result. But Nadal is not really threatened as he holds to 30 to stick with his opponent

1-1 - Nadal has to work really hard to hold from 0-30 down but hold he does with some class; hitting a series of winners to deny Murray the early break

0-0 - Murray to get the match underway then ...

13:00 - Nadal has the superior head-to-head record leading into this clash, and he is riding high on the back of 13 wins out of 14 so far this year including winning his first hard court Grand Slam at the Australian Open earlier this month
