Murray takes on Johansson at Toronto « on: July 23, 2008, 10:45:15 AM »

Andy Murray will take on Thomas Johansson in the second round of the Toronto Masters on Wednesday.

The Scot has played the Swede twice before, losing at Queens in 2005 but winning their last encounter 7-6 6-0 at Doha earlier this year.

Murray is third out on centre court on Wednesday with the match expected to start at around 8PM UK time.

CENTRE COURT - Play starting at 4PM BST

1. David FERRER (ESP) vs Robby GINEPRI (USA)

2. Jesse LEVINE (USA) vs Rafael NADAL (ESP)

3. Andy MURRAY (GBR) vs Thomas JOHANSSON (SWE)
The 21-year-old is seeded eighth and could meet Novak Djokovic in the last eight.

I think Rafa's match can't start before 6pm though...

Rafa shouldn't take long to beat Levine, so I reckon a bit earlier than 8, maybe around half 7.

I was just saying that the news article makes it round like he's 3rd on court after a 4pm start, when in reality its probably better to look at it as second on court after a 6pm start, since rafa's match can't start till then, and Ferrer's match will probably finish in under two hours.
To put it differently, if there wouldn't have been a time for Rafa's match, I'd have said Andy would get on at the latest half seven, now it's probably gonna be closer to eight.

Yup. I'm doubting whether we'll see Andy tonight.

Play can go on pretty late, until 2 or 3 in the morning our time, so I guess Andy will play at some point. Just not sure if anyone will be up at whatever time he does play, or if it will even be shown on TV.

They don't normally, but Sky have the rights to show all Andy's MS matches. Play will start soon, there drying the courts.

If I buy a Master Series TV day pass, will they be showing the Murray match?

I think so, but isn't there a free stream available somewhere>
Maybe have a look around MTF?

Well they are showing Nadal, although the coverage was meant to stop half an hour ago, so why wouldn't they continue to overrun and show Andy?
