There was never any sign of a break in the third either and it was no shock when it too went to a tie-break which Murray won 7-4 to set up a clash with Radek Stepanek in the third round.
The goal appeared set to round off a satisfactory first half for the Irish but there was a shock in store before the break as Martinez struck in a superb half-volley to the net after the home defence appeared to switch off.
Once you've come down from the initial shock, HTC's subtle flairs begin to peek out, like the solid colored speaker grill that serves to break the front face's expanse of glass with a shock of vibrancy.
