Murray had to battle through a pulsating tie-break to take the opening set against the big-serving Isner, and displayed plenty of emotion in fending off his opponent to do so.

A single break of serve was sufficient for the second seed to take the second set 6-4 with Isner unable to match his intensity after a rain break.
