The match was not great quality but a high intensity in the beating from both sides of the track. From the first point was that the draw would be the denominator to take into account and we were the first choices when they break. First to Bennetteau, which squandered a 15-40 in the fourth game and then breaking Murray contrabreak and the French, who demonstrated knowledge stand at the bottom of the track and get on the net to put pressure on its rival. Such was the success, which ultimately Bennetteau join the first part of game after 44 minutes and after that Murray committed his sixth double fault of the crash.
The Englishman was not in the game, nor is it physically noticed on the go-slow or animations; proof is that he paid his mistakes with the judge chair and lost concentration at key moments.
