AO Round 1 : Murray v Tsonga

I guess this will be one about 3am.....Tsonga is dangerous but Andy will be really focused for this one and I reckon he'll do it in 3

I'm currently in a dilemma about what to do regarding this one.....BBC haven't said anything about showing this one live on interactive or repeating the match in full during their coverage from 8am onwards....so should I take a chance and record in hope or stay up to watch the internet streaming in case it isn't on

Murray won their only previous meeting on the main tour, in Metz last season on the way to the final. But complacency will not be an issue. "In the next month or so his ranking will probably get him seeded at slams, so it's a tough match. He has a good serve, is a good athlete, hits the ball pretty hard from the baseline and it's going to be a hard match for me. But if I play like I have been, I have a good chance to win,"

Murray, the ninth seed, said: "Hopefully I'll come through that one and then start to look at the draw a little bit. But when you've got a first-round match like that, you are not going to look past someone as tough as him."

Awful, awful first round draw!

I think i'll get an early night and set the alarm for 3am (*cringe*) to watch on Eurosport, i'm assuming they'll be showing the Murray match with live coverage all night. Going to be a long Monday by the time i've done a day at work and then 2 hours badminton, so he'd better win!!

EDIT: tidied up spelling errors - i really can't type today

No way I can get up at 3am and still function. I really hope they show the match in their "live" coverage Monday morning, and not just edited highlights. I'm sure they will show at least that, however.

Hehe, my employers have come to accept that my productivity levels for a certain two weeks in January are severely diminished smile

The match will be on BBC2 when it starts, from around 2am, most likely around 3am. Probably on the website as well.

Really? Where did you get that information, Wolf? There is still nothing about it on the BBC website. If it is on BBC2 I can record it biggrin.gif

Rats.....we have the wrong Andy on here...we have Roddick and not Murray. How come ESPN would rather show Andy Roddick's match now instead of Andy Murray's? They have no taste.
