After the medical time-out Murray wins his first game of the match but Nieminen takes the next two to win the first set 6-1. Questions are being asked whether Murray will actually continue as Wimbledon is coming up in a couple of weeks and then the Olympics and US Open after that Photograph: Patrick Kovarik/AFP/Getty Images

However Murray does come out for the second set and despite losing the first two games, he continues to grind away and takes the second set 6-4 Photograph: Michel Euler/AP

The turnaround continues in the third set and now it's Nieminen who is being forced around the court as Murray takes a 3-0 lead in the set Photograph: Mike Hewitt/Getty Images

Nieminen starts to fight back and takes the next game but then Murray, who's playing with a lot more freedom now, switches up a gear and takes the third set 6-1 Photograph: IAN LANGSDON/EPA

Nieminen seems to have mentally gone as the fourth set starts and Murray takes the first two games. The Finn isn't even attempting to get to some of the balls now. Murray is leading 5-2. After the latest of his 48 unforced errors Nieminen's frustration comes out as he throws his racquet to the ground and then stamps on the strings Photograph: Ian Langsdon/EPA

An unreturned serve in the next game gives Murray a 1-6, 6-4, 6-1 6-2 victory - a result that seemed most improbable a couple of hours ago. More good news for Murray is that the dangerous Australian teenager Bernard Tomic has gone out, so waiting in the third round is Colombia's Santiago Giraldo Photograph: Matthew Stockman/Getty Images
