The TB was 11-9, Steven. I know because I was watching every agonising moment of it!

Strange - I put the scoreline on Twitter correctly so I don't know why I put 7 instead of 9 here. Now corrected.

Andy plays Pablo Cuevas this morning, when the Nadal match is over. Andy leads the H2H 1-0 but their meeting was back in 2007. Cuevas is mainly a clay-courter, but he has won 2 APT titles and 2 Challenger titles this year, all on the dirt, and another Challenger title at the back end of last year. Andy ought to win this one - but these days I feel I still need to cross my fingers firmly!

Players on court now, Andy's elected to receive.

L16: (6/WC) Andy Murray WR 11 beat Pablo Cuevas (URU) WR 35 (= CH) by 2 & 2

He'll play Cilic or Sousa next (3-2* in the 1st set)

I missed most of the match, and I was intending to watch it this afternoon, but couldn't resist checking on the score as soon as I got home. From the bit I saw it looked to be an entertaining, if one-sided match.

He played well

. Did anyone notice if Mauresmo was there? I couldn't see her, but I wasn't watching all the time.

When the camera showed Andy's box she wasn't there. I think I read somewhere that she would be back with him in Europe, which I assume means she won't be in Shanghai either. Maybe had prior commitments.

QF: (6/WC) Andy Murray WR 11 v (4) Marin Cilic (CRO) WR 9 (=CH)

ITF H2H 10-3, 10-2 in seniors, 0-1 this year

Always seems like Cilic gives Andy cold sweats. Who knows how this one will go! But a solid win today for Andy, the type you'd expect from a top player, which is a good sign.

Thanks Madeline.

This week seems to have gone mostly as scheduled for the seeds with 7/8 making the QFs. Hopefully Andy can upset that and beat a higher seed in the morning.
