The most memorable moment came in the final set, when Goffin scrambled after several Federer shots, lofted a pretty backhand lob over Federer and then sneaked toward the net for a dropvolley winner.
That appeared to be the end of the danger for the first set as Murray moved smoothly to 5-2 but his first serve went missing when trying to close it out in game nine, and the more attack-minded Tsonga broke back with a dropvolley.
