#a lesson in how to make a first match a nailbiter

Andy Murray things:
almost a running commentary of the match, constantly shouting at himself in frustration (addressing himself as 'An-dyyy' or 'mate' :D)
twice a mini break down in the first set tiebreak, turning it around at 4-5
winning a service game to love with only second serves (against a pretty good returner) and with two gasp-inducing dropshots
going 0-40 down in a service game only to hunker down and turn it around without getting broken
his opponent having 3x as many break points than him but Andy saving all of them and converting one of his
double fault at 30-all when serving for the match to bring up a break point for his opponent
Then, during the interview: "my focus definitely improves when the match gets tighter"
yeah no shit, Andy
