Amid the storm at the other end of the court, Murray keeps his composure brilliantly, serving out a superb victory to love. He points to coach Brad Gilbert and then thumps his chest.

It's a New York drama. Having been warned for his racket-smashing antics in the previous game, Gonzalez is now docked a point for belting a ball out of the stadium. The unhappy Chilean then faces two match points but saves both, sending the umpire a threatening look as he does so. Murray earns another match point with an outrageous backhand winner but Gonzalez hangs on.

Dangerous moments for Murray as Gonzalez races into a 30-0 lead but the Briton once again keeps his composure. The hot-headed Chilean smashes his racket onto the court - leaving it in pieces.

Gonzalez stops a run of seven games against him and he certainly hitting the ball with more authority now - but has he left it too late?

The crowd were behind Gonzalez but they've got to love Murray now after the Scot produces a miracle backhand pass. The ball appears to be behind and beyond him but he sticks out his racket and flicks it crosscourt. Murray takes the double-break and Gonzalez looks a broken man.

It's all gone wrong for Gonzalez and the Chilean can't find the lines anymore. He's broken to love.

Murray 6-3 3-6 2-6 6-3 Gonzalez
It's not easy for Murray. His seventh double fault makes it 30-30 but he makes light of the tense situation by powering a backhand onto the baseline to earn a set point. He makes no mistake and from looking on the verge of defeat, Murray takes the momentum into the deciding fifth set.

Murray 6-3 3-6 2-6 5-3 Gonzalez
And there you go: he's back in it. Two magnificent returns set up the first break point and though that one goes begging, he makes no mistake on the second - putting away a brave smash.

Murray 6-3 3-6 2-6 4-3 Gonzalez
You have to give Murray credit for the way he has stuck to his task. One good game and he could be right back in this match.

Gonzalez steps up the pace and holds to 15. Murray has not had a break point since the opening set.

Murray 6-3 3-6 2-6 3-2 Gonzalez
A bit of encouragement for Murray, who holds to love. He hits a couple of lovely forehands to keep the crowd interested.

Murray 6-3 3-6 2-6 2-2 Gonzalez
Murray shouts "Come on" to try to will himself back into this match. It doesn't look good though. Gonzalez's sudden explosions of power are too much for the teenager.

Murray 6-3 3-6 2-6 2-1 Gonzalez
Murray holds to 15 but he looks a disconsolate figure at the moment and the crowd are very quiet too.

Murray 6-3 3-6 2-6 1-1 Gonzalez
But still Murray can make no inroads on the Gonzalez serve.

Murray 6-3 3-6 2-6 1-0 Gonzalez
The calm after the storm. Gonzalez once again takes a rest to allow Murray to hold easily just as he did in the third set.

Murray 6-3 3-6 2-6 Gonzalez
Not exactly convincing from Gonzalez as he squanders three set points before eventually coming through. But Murray will have to go the distance if he is going to make the fourth round.

Murray 6-3 3-6 2-5 Gonzalez
Gonzalez isn't interested in breaking again. He's virtually walking back to his chair before Murray hits a last winner to make the Chilean serve out.

Gonzalez keeps up his hot streak. He's been in complete control of this match since 4-3 in the second set.

Murray 6-3 3-6 1-4 Gonzalez
Murray produces two awesome forehands to take a 40-15 lead and it's no surprise when he breaks for a second time. Murray is not showing much sign of life at the moment but there's a long way to go yet.

Murray 6-3 3-6 1-3 Gonzalez
Murray changes his racket with the score at 40-0 but he needn't have bothered as Gonzalez powers down an ace to consolidate his advantage.

Murray 6-3 3-6 1-2 Gonzalez
The point of the match so far sees some brutal hitting from Gonzalez sending Murray scurrying all over the court. The Briton does well to stay in the point as long he does but he nets his last effort and then double-faults to concede his serve.

Murray 6-3 3-6 1-1 Gonzalez
Murray makes Gonzalez pay for a weak volley by sending it back past the 11th seed but the teenager loses the momentum with a poor return on the next point and Gonzalez survives.

Murray 6-3 3-6 1-0 Gonzalez
Gonzalez retreats back into his shell to allow Murray an easy start to the third set. A strangely lacklustre game from the Chilean.

Murray 6-3 3-6 Gonzalez
Gonzalez is like a man possessed all of a sudden, and Murray can't handle it. The teenager misses a simple volley to give his opponent three set points. He takes the second and it's one set all.

Murray 6-3 3-5 Gonzalez
Gonzalez turns to the crowd and yells "Vamos" as he sends a stunning pass down the line. The inspired Chilean sticks another forehand down the opposite line and he will serve to level the match.

Murray 6-3 3-4 Gonzalez
Gonzalez edges ahead again and in a tense second set, it's a question of who will blink first.

Murray 6-3 3-3 Gonzalez
Gonzalez produces a remarkable backhand return winner and nearly repeats the trick on the next point but only finds the net. He's clearly decided the only way to get past Murray is to overpower him but the teenager is weathering the storm quite comfortably at the moment.

Murray 6-3 2-3 Gonzalez
We've hit a lull but it's unlikely to last long with the set reaching its climax.

Murray 6-3 2-2 Gonzalez
Gonzalez's new coach Larry Stefanki has clearly tried to introduce some guile into the Chilean's game but sometimes you just wish he would go back to hitting it as hard as he can. In this game, he does. But the majority of his returns hit the net.

Murray 6-3 1-2 Gonzalez
Gonzalez is keeping his head for the moment, his serve keeping Murray on the back foot.

Murray 6-3 1-1 Gonzalez
Murray responds in kind. You would not guess that Gonzalez is the higher ranked player at the moment.

Gonzalez opens with a love service game to give his confidence a boost.

Murray 6-3 Gonzalez
The set didn't start out too well but Murray ends it in emphatic manner with a love game.

Murray 5-3 Gonzalez
An epic game goes Murray's way and he will serve for the set. The teenager's much greater variety of shot is beginning to tell on the hard-hitting Gonzalez.

Murray 4-3 Gonzalez
Murray pumps his fist as he holds to 15 and goes ahead for the first time. Gonzalez looks a little hard done by with a call on one of the sidelines but since we're on Grandstand, there are no challenges and the Chilean has to accept it.

Murray 3-3 Gonzalez
Just as well Murray's return is the best part of his strength. Gonzalez looks frustrated and so he should be. Now, can Murray hold serve for only the second time in the match?

Murray 2-3 Gonzalez
Murray looks up at coach Brad Gilbert and utters a few words his mother wouldn't approve of as he loses serve for a second time. He's clearly worried by Gonzalez's return and that forced him into a double fault on break point.

Murray 2-2 Gonzalez
Much better from Murray as he earns two break points. Gonzalez saves the first with a rare volley but a forehand drifts wide on the second and Murray is back on level terms.

Murray 1-2 Gonzalez
Murray needs to get a few first serves in. Gonzalez is crunching his returns off the teenager's second delivery - but Murray comes through from deuce.

Murray 0-2 Gonzalez
Easy for Gonzalez as the Chilean holds to love.

Murray 0-1 Gonzalez
After the emotion of Andre Agassi's final farewell, it's fair to say not many New Yorkers will be too fussed about this encounter but there's a small group of Chileans noisily supporting Gonzalez on Grandstand. They're delighted as their man breaks thanks to a slow start from Murray.
