Robredo 2-6 4-6 *4-4 MurrayThe two are trading simple holds of serve at the moment. Murray does it to 15. In one point there Robredo got an absolutely awful bounce off the grass but there's nothing you can do about it. Poor luck.

Robredo 2-6 4-6 4-3* MurrayAaah well, my prediction of Murray breaking was so wrong. Robredo holds impressively to love, sealing the game with a perfectly-placed ACE on the T.

7.05pmMurray with his 10th backhand winner and he's now 0-30 up and two points away from the set.

7.05pmPoor start to the ninth game of the second from Robredo as he pulls a drive-volley into the net.

Robredo 2-6 *3-5 MurrayHe passes the test, angling a forehand that Robredo goes for broke off but can only find the net. Murray now one game from a two-set lead.

6.45pmI'm eating my words! Murray back to 30-30.

6.44pmNice body serve from Robredo moves him to 30-0 and it doesn't look like Murray will be moving a double break up in this set quite yet.

6.35pmA wrong-footing forehand gives Murray a BREAK POINT already in the second set.

6.33pmThat first set took 35 minutes and I'd expect the next two to go similarly unless Robredo seriously ups his game. Murray isn't playing brilliantly, either.

6.29pmAt 30-15, Murray appears to think that Robredo's slice wasn't going over and is surprised when it clips the tape and does. His feet aren't set and he tamely puts it in the net.

6.27pmSurely Murray isn't going to falter on serve again here? He starts with an out-of-sorts forehand that's nowhere near dropping in.

Robredo 2-5* MurrayDOUBLE BREAK! The Scot regains the double break by wearing down Robredo, whose forehand doesn't quite dip over as he tries to generate a bit too much angle on his in-to-out forehand.

6.18pmBullish start from Robredo in the next, swiping an angry forehand winner up the line.

Robredo 1-4* MurrayDOUBLE BREAK! The Scot entices Robredo forward with a short slice and Robredo's forehand approach is long and surely that's the first set in the bag.

5.56pmMurray's first point comes from a loose Robredo forehand. 30-15.

5.55pmThe Spaniard begins with an ace down the middle.

5.55pmIt will be Robredo to serve first. Here we go...

5.51pmBoth men go into this game having not lost a set so far in the tournament.

5.48pmMurray is of course heavy favourite for this one. The best he can be backed at is about 1/33 while if you fancy Robredo to cause an upset he's around 12/1.

5.46pmAnd yes, here they come. Robredo hangs back to allow Murray all the applause from the crowd.

5.44pmWe're waiting for the air to equalise or something like that inside Centre Court. Murray and Robredo should be out shortly.

5.39pmH2H: Murray hasn't faced Robredo for over three years but the last time they met it was Robredo who came out on top in the Hopman Cup in Australia.

5.36pmMurray's presence at Wimbledon always creates an electric atmosphere and because it is raining the phrase 'raise the roof' is certainly relevant.

5.34pmEvening all. We've had two great matches on Centre already today. The first was played with the roof on, the second off and for this match between veteran Tommy Robredo and second seed Andy Murray the roof is now back on.
