I think there is a strong chance this could be a night game on Monday (morning for us).

Only other real options are Gasquet v Aussie WC or Nadal/Roddick against respective qualifiers?

Pretty sure top half will be on Tuesday with Fed/Nalbi nursing injuries and most of the players still involved in tournies all in top half

Confirmed that it will be on Monday

Well two Scots in the MD of a Slam....hope we can get both through...cant see Andy messing up.

And both in the same quarter of the draw!  Typical!

Jo-Wilfried didn't get past the first round in Sydney, so there's a chance he's not firing on all cylinders. He did however, win the doubles with Gasquet as his partner, disposing of the Bryans 4-6 6-4 11-9. Could be tired...

well I love your optimism stircrazy but I kinda doubt that we'll be seeing Murray and Baker stride out onto the Rod Laver Arena for the 3rd of the quarter-finals in 10 days time

LOL!  No, I'm a pessimist by nature, at least in my public pronouncements, so much as I'd like to think Jamie was capable of going that deep into his first Grand Slam tournament - & would gladly eat a large slice of humble pie with a double helping of whipped cream, were I to be proved wrong - that comment was actually intended to be tongue in cheek, prompted by dismay at the way Lady Luck seems quite incapable of smiling on the few Brits who end up competing at Grand Slam/ATP level & keeping them apart in the draw for as long as possible...!

I think will in all likelihood be a toughie but a good test and I think Murray will come through in 4.
