ATP St Petersburg QF - Murray v Tursunov

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

Third match on centre, or second after Kohlschreiber v Youzhny, which kicks off at 14.00 BST (Verdasco & Starace lock horns in the first QF at noon our time) - & followed by arguably the most facinating QF of the lot, Gulbis v Cilic...

The Match is third on court 1...match before not before 5pm local time (2pm BST)

So Andy could be on anytime from 3.30pm to 5pm ish.
