The doubles draw is out:

L16:  (1) Jamie Murray & Bruno Soares (BRA) WR 1 (CR = 7 - 4+3) vs Marcos Baghdatis & Marcin Matkowski (CYP/POL) CR 456 (420+36)
L16:  David Marrero & Nenad Zimonjic (ESP/SRB) CR 102 (41+61) vs Mariusz Fyrstenberg (POL) & Andy Murray CR 411 (58+353)

The winners of those two matches face each other in the QF.

L16:  (4) Dom Inglot & Florin Mergea (ROU) CR 69 (43+26) vs Karen Khachenov & Andrey Kuznetsov (RUS/RUS) CR 607 (364+243)

Despite the disparity in the CRs, that could be a tricky encounter for Dom & Florin - & they're in the same half of the draw as Jamie & Bruno! hmm

Main draw in the singles now out:

L32:  (1) Sir Andy Murray WR 1 (= CH) vs Jérémy Chardy (FRA) WR 69 (CH = 25 in January 2013)

Melzer (Gerald) or PHM in the L16, assuming he wins that one.

Clearly wasn't getting enough court time. Second set tiebreak.

Yay, Andy off and running for 2017

Now up to 25 successive wins. Plus already guaranteed to extend his ranking points lead after this week ( since all Andy's points are profit and Novak is defending the Doha title ).

Andy broken twice in that first set and just 37%, 7/19, points won on second serve ( I did notice it was earlier just 1/9 ).

Andy's serve generally and particularly his second serve ( bit more speed, bit more penetration - relatively speaking for him and great to still improve something like that ) was one of the less talked about points of his great 2016. But it may have relapsed a bit today.
