Don't know what to make of the draw tbh, some tough players out there but in terms of the top 4 Andy seems to have the far easier quarter so........

Can't complain at all about that draw, and Murray should be easing into the QF's without too much difficulty really, and then he'd be a heavy favourite to win his QF match as well.
SF's should be the realistic aim from this event really, as there's no-one on an indoor court he should be losing to.
It will be Simone Bolelli in round 2 for Murray, after he beat Almagro 7-6(4), 6-1 today in the first round.
Shouldn't be too much of a problem for Murray, as Bolelli hasn't won many matches recently, having won just 1 other match since July, and as long as Murray serves well, he shouldn't struggle too much as Bolelli has won of the worst return games in the top 100.
Murray is on 4th tomorrow, should be around 3pm UK time, and I'd expect Murray to win in straight sets really, even with his usual lapse in the match.
