I think they're just warming up at the moment, match doesn't start until 8. The live scoreboards always say that the person at the top of the scoreboard is serving first until they've finished warming up.

Love the poll options Andymonium, I'm predicting that Murray will swim away with a win in 3 sets. As it's on ESPN 2, any chance you'll be able to give us some commentary on the match Rob ?

Andy and Mardy have played twice before. Mardy won 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 in rd2 of ATP Indianapolis 2005 and Andy won 6-2, 6-2 in rd1 of ATP San Jose earlier this year.

However, Mardy has improved a lot since those two matches, in San Jose he was playing only his 2nd match of the year and was very rusty having been out for 5 months with injury since the 2005 US Open.

He's currently ranked 70 with a career high of 17 reached in 2004 which was the year he won an olympic silver medal in Athens. This year, he won back-to-back titles in the Talahassee challenger and ATP Houston on clay. He then reached the final of the Tunica challenger on clay in May before winning Surbiton. Since then he's won a round at Queens, reached rd3 of Wimbledon and the quarters of ATP Newport. He lost to Safin in rd1 of Los Angeles last week. This week he's yet to drop a set, beating Zib 4 and 4 and Stoppini [Agassi's conqueror] 3 and 1.

His strengths are a powerful 1st serve and aggressive volleying. He serve-volleyed on the grass, not sure if he'll do that on hard courts
