French Open 2012, Andy Murray v Jarkko Nieminen: live Andrew Holgate I think you might be right: "Seems you have jinxed him by saying straight sets." Not looking good for Murray, wouldn't be surprised if he calls time on this...look on his face says it all. He's abck on his feet, the crowd are urging him to continue and he's back on the baseline for now. Murray* 0-4 Nieminen Murray really struggling and almost collapses after his first serve there, don't imagine it will be long before the trainer is called out on this evidence. he's just not got the shots to compete here and Nieminen's got two break points again and MURRAY BROKEN AGAIN, the trainer is on court, Murray struggling with his back Murray 0-3 Nieminen* Murray's frustrated with himself and it's clear to see, he's uncomfotable, telling himself off and struggling to create anything. Nieminen takes a 40-0 advantage before the Brit fights back but the Finn holds and leads 3-0. What's up with Muzza? Murray* 0-2 Nieminen Hell of a call from the lineswoman there wow she's got a set of lungs. Murray just not looking his normal self at the moment, not settling into things as fast as he normally does and he's now reaching to his back indicating there could be a problem there. Nieminen takes a 40-15 leads and sets up two break points, Finn doing well to capitalise on Murray's second serve. Briton saves them both and this is more like it, stinging cross-court forehand to take the advantage but he double faults back to deuce and then it's Nieminen turn to impress, hell of a return deep into the baseline for another break point and no sooner is it saved is another one set up and MURRAY IS BROKEN Murray 0-1 Nieminen* Very long first rally and Murray slips up, mis-hitting a simple forehand, fantastic power from Nieminen. I'll confess I don't know a huge amount about his game, in fact I think this is the first time I've watched him but the man's got power. Forcing errors from Murray to take 40-0 lead but Murray responds with a biting forehand that the Finn can only drive into the net. Murray follows it with a wonderful drop shot and in a game that Nieminen looked set to hold to love it's gone to deuce. Worryingly, Murray looks like he's limping slightly, his ankles are very heavily strapped today. Nieminen holds but it was hard work... 10:09 here we go then, play about to start Nieminen serving, I'm backing Murray to do it in straight sets...let's see 10:08 quite a career Nieminen, let's have a closer look at him: his best result at Roland Garros is reaching the round of 16 as the No 30 seed in 2003. His best results on clay this year are reaching the round of 16 at Barcelona (l. Feliciano Lopez) and the quarterfinals as No. 3 seed at Belgrade after receiving a first round bye (l. Benoit Paire). He also reached the 2nd round at 2012 Monte Carlo-1000 (l. Nadal) and lost to Sam Querrey in the 1st round at Rome-1000. His best Grand Slam performance is reaching the quarterfinals at the 2005 US Open (l. Lleyton Hewitt), as No. 22 seed at 2006 Wimbledon (l. Nadal) and as No. 24 seed at the 2008 Australian Open (l. Nadal). our man Simon Briggs on what happened the last time these two met...it was Wimbledon 2010 and there was a very special guest present. The last time Andy Murray played Jarkko Nieminen the Finn gave him an uncomfortable time. Not so much in their match, which Murray won in less than two hours, but when they were herded together in the aftermath to wait for their introduction to the Queen. "It was a bit weird afterwards," Murray said, "because we started having a conversation about the match: how he felt it went and how I felt it went. You'd never normally discuss a match with an opponent straight after it, but we were locked in this little room together off Centre Court so it happened. Then we both went up the steps and on to the balcony for the photographers and met her. Muray all in grey today...he's on court and warming up: 9:57 also in action today, Rafael Nadal takes on Denis Istomin, former world No 1 Caroline Wozniacki plays Jarmila Gajdosova, Maria Sharapova meets Ayumi Morita and home favourite (and my favourite) Jo-Wilfried Tsonga entertains Cedrik-Marcel Stebe Here;s what Nieminen has had to say about Murray ahead fo this morning's clash: I'm very happy with my form. I've had extremely good preparation, I've stayed healthy and I've played really good tennis. I feel like I've played my best tennis in practice. I tried not to expect too much, just to enjoy my good form, and hopefully I can keep it up. 9:50 surprisingly for this stage of a grand slam, Murray is not the only Briton in action...20-year-old Heather Watson takes on the mighty world No 25 Julia Goerges last on Curt No 2. 9:45 good morning, here we are then, day five and Andy Murray's kicking off proceedings on the Philippe Chatrier court this morning. He's up against Jarkko Nieminen of Finland a man he's encountered three times and never dropped a set to. He's the world No 48 and a left-handed baseliner who has previously knocked Andre Agassi out of this tournament and qualified for the match against Murray after Igor Andreev retired with a right shoulder injury at 3-6 6-2 2-1 in the first round. Murray is bidding to reach the 3rd round here for the 5th consecutive year. He advanced to the 2nd round after defeating Tatsuma Ito 6-1 7-5 6-0 in the first round on Tuesday. This is his 6th Roland Garros appearance and 26th major overall.
