Around 5.30pm onwards local time. Is that also GMT?

steven · Tennis legend

No, 4.30 pm GMT - but the way things have been going in Paris this week, it'll probably be hours later!

i have heard he moves very well and can cause problems but for my money i take andy any day as its andy and hrbaty hasnt been playing his best all season.

I saw Hrbaty played once against Lubi in Cincinnati this year.It is not surprising that he doesn't enjoy a successful season by judging the fact the he has a very high ball toss when serving and he hits the ball pretty flat.However, in the match against Lubi, I didn't see hrbaty come to the net so often to make use of the flat forehand approach and he stayed at the back of the court.In comparison to playing outdoors,he may be more comfortable he can play his game without the negative effect of environmental factors.so we get to see but surely i think Murray has the class to beat this guy.murray in 2

Good news from paris is that all the matches are being completed on time. on court 1, nimenen's match is in the early stages so murrays match will definitely be on after 4.30 - 5.00

Andy's pre-match thoughts -

"Hrbaty is going to be tough," he said. "He is one of the fittest guys on the tour and plays at a very high tempo.

"He moves well and the carpeted surface here is very good for his game."

I have seen him described as a "poor man's Davydenko". By which I assume he is fit, athletic and makes few mistakes - but I have never seen him.

The most I know about him is that dreadful shirt with the holes in it that he wore, which made Hewitt comment on beating him, that he couldn't lose to a man wearing a shirt like that!

Yes, according to MTF, he has taken over the Safin/Gasquet evening slot on Centre Court
