Andy Murray - Olympic and USO champion! :)

There's a link from Sky Sports here: http://aggbot.com/Sport-News/70/article/17941094I think Andy would have to play pretty badly to lose to Karlovic - although the serve is obviously a big weapon, the rest of his game is limited. |

According to Andy's Blog on Twitter Andy is playing Lukas Lacko on Wednesday as his has been given a bye because of Monfils' withdrawal for injury. Same info on ESPN site.

Just seen on the BBC's text service, it's Lacko Andy is playing, and on Wednesday. He's received a bye (I think they mean a walkover) in to the second round because Monfils withdrew with injury.

What's the Karlovic stuff about? It would make sense for a lucky loser to step in for any first round withdrawals.

I don't see that to be honest. To me it makes more sense that Andy would go straight through to the second round. |

But the whole system of lucky losers is meant for this sort of thing. |

Exactly! Flashscores has Murray v Karlovic scheduled for 5.40 am UK time (they seem to be allowing 1 hr 20 per match. http://www.flashscore.com/tennis/atp-singles/tokyo/ Maybe the BBC is just blanking Karlovic after the foot fault controversy! Steven @GBtennis Tokyo ATP Facebook http://on.fb.me/QFg32m says Monfils is out and his replacement to play Andy will be announced on Tuesday morning Tokyo ctd: ... so AM should definitely be playing a lucky loser. There may be a question mark over whether it's Ivo, but Ivo is 1st in line |
