Funny that Kyrgios was the only 25-32 seed to make it to this stage. What were people saying about it not being the worst possible third round draw?

Could go either way this one. Murray is going to need to be damn near his best.

I've just realised there's no poll on here.  A bit unfortunate because I like to see what the predictions are and how many are optimistic, pessimistic or just plain realistic.  However, as I don't like declaring mine openly I'm saying nowt!

Good spot - have added one to the OP.

I voted the latter option, naturally.

Hopefully with Andy being his mentor, Kyrgios will give Andy some respect and allow Andy to build up a 1 set lead head start. Also, hopefully K. Will get to indulge in some of his non tennis extracurriculars to get to know his female fans better and run out of energy by the 4th set !!

I am a bit concerned here because Andy is not a morning person and we saw how Andy got flustered when Sousa raised his game in the 2nd set.  Hopefully Andy will stay calm and in control today.

Eyebrow raise. Well hopefully not in Andy's match.

Could be a nail-biter, and I'm going to miss it!  Aaargh.  Will keep checking live scores.  I'd love to say Andy in 3 but I'm prepared to allow for Kyrgios to take a set off him.  Once Andy has got himself into the match he should go the distance.

I feel nervous

I just hope all the mentoring Andy has done for NK doesn't come back to bite him, much as I like the fact he is looking out for some of the younger players.   I see that Mac is predicting NK could be no 1 in next couple of years - talk about hype. 
Have to admit I feel rather  nervous  about this one.  It's difficult to discount all the hype.  I'd like to see Andy in the kind of magisterial mood he was in when he saw NK off at the AO.

I think that Andy's actually been mentoring Kokki more that NK, because he has practised a lot with Kokki and not much at all with NK from what I can tell. But quite a few of the younger Aussies see Andy in that role - Luke Saville as well, who was Andy's practice partner through most of the latter part of the AO.

There are still question marks over NK's work ethic, in particular with regards to recovery processes and managing fitness. Andy said something last year or earlier this year when asked NK's potential and future success, Andy's response was something along the lines of - it depends how much he wants it and how much he's prepared to work for it. Hype and talent can only get you so far.

Andy is prepared for this to be a tough match, but he also knows that his return and defence will be key, as the previous two matches have shown, and that he can think his way through a match and adapt.
