Looks like Andy Murray is back to fighting form as he beat Croation Ivo Karlovic in the third round of the Pacific Life Open in Indian Wells, USA. Despite the first two sets going to a tie break the third set looked something like this: 7-6 (9-7) 6-7 (3-7) 6-3.

But it seemed that the pressure was getting to the 11^th seed as his temper frayed frequently against Karlovic, he said:

"I was disappointed with my attitude during the Karlovic match, I was getting really angry and I haven't done that this year. I was just in a bad frame of mind and you can sometimes snap out of it, but when you're playing someone who is as frustrating to play against as him, it's difficult."

We'll let you off Andy, as playing against a 6 foot 10 inch giant can't be too easy! And after a shaky start, (all the way up to game three) Murray seemed to fight back in game six and even delivered a couple of belting forehands in game eight.

If Murray stays calm against Tommy Haas this evening (who he beat in last year's quarter-finals) then he should face up to Roger Federer. We'd rather like to see if the K-Swiss-Fed gets pasted by the Scot, a la Dubai Tennis Championships!

With such big egos on the line we reckon this is definitely one to stick some hard cash on! Check out Bodog's ATP Tennis odds.
