Could be worse. I see he is in Djokovic's half, along with Ferrer and Berdych; Fed has Nadal, Wawrinka and Nishikori in his half. There is an interesting possibility of Goffin in R3.

First set to Andy, 6-2

L32:  (3) Andy Murray WR 2 defeated Steve Johnson (USA) WR 48 by 2 & 4

*****

L16:  (3) Andy Murray WR 2 vs (13) John Isner (USA) WR 13

The two have met three times since the last 16 of the Oz Open in 2010, a match which Andy won by 7-6(4) 6-3 6-2, & Isner has yet to register a win (USO in 2011: 7-5 6-4 3-6 7-6(2), Cinci last year:  6-7(3) 6-4 7-6(2) &, arguably most memorably, the first round of the Davis Cup World Group earlier this year: 7-6(4) 6-4 7-6(4)).

I've just finished watching the match, I had to pause the livestream so often to attend to other things that I can't say I have a very clear picture of the match. I think maybe I'll try to rewatch the whole thing at a less busy time.

But Andy wins 6-4 in the third

I managed to catch little bits on my tablet. It looked quite a good match, I'll have to watch the full replay!

For the record:

L16:  (3) Andy Murray WR 2 defeated (13) John Isner (USA) WR 13 by 6-7(4) 6-4 6-4

Gilou (10) or Berd-brain (5) in the QF.
