Murray and Simon played out an extraordinary 39-shot rally After crumbling when serving to stay in the opening set on a frustratingly slow court, a weary-looking Murray had to save six break points in the second game of the second set before striking in the next game, which lasted an astonishing 14 minutes and 30 seconds.But world No 24 Simon wasnt going away and struck immediately straight back to level at 2-2. The pair traded blows in a 34-shot rally Murray, however, went on to win the next four games to level the match and after the Frenchman received treatment for a blister on his right foot before the start of the deciding set, the British No 1 upped the ante.Despite hanging on for 2-2, Murray repeated the punishment he dished out in the second set to take the match as Simon wilted under increasing pressure.
