Andy plays American Sam Querrey in Round 3 at the Australian Open.

Andy leads the H2H (http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/players/fedex-head-2-head/sam-querrey-vs-andy-murray/Q927/MC10) by 6-1, his only loss being in 2010 in the Final of the Los Angeles Open.
The big serving American is currently ranked #32.

The match is due to be played on Friday, time to be confirmed.

Given that Federer v Berdych is sure to be the night match on Laver then he can't have that slot. But they do play more evening matches on other courts at the weekend so he could be moved to MCA. But probably an afternoon slot on Laver.

Yes it will be interesting to see whether this is put on a day session on the Rod Laver Arena or an evening once on the MCA. Berdych v Federer is bound to be the night match.

Bardot
18-01-2017, 14:18
Andy might ask to play on MCA as apparently the players who've played there says it's very slow which should play to his advantage against Querrey's big serve. ;)

It's night duty for us to watch Andy v Querry! He is second match on Hisense at approx 2-2.30am immediately followed by Dan's match with Tomic!!

Radio five live had to get Russell Fuller on and he thought Sir Andy's match might be at 3am.

Bardot
19-01-2017, 09:00
The forecast for tomorrow is rain showers, heavy at times so the possibility that the match will be played under the roof. Andy's least favourite court in his least favourite conditions. ;)

ANDY MURRAY: I'm more than happy just being Andy. That's enough for me.

Do they have a roof on Hisense?

Josephine

What is he doing on Hisense?? No likey.

Bardot
19-01-2017, 09:37
Do they have a roof on Hisense?

Yes, it's a multi-purpose arena used for basketball, cycling, netball.

patlowe
19-01-2017, 09:42
And is Hisense known to be a fast or a slow court?

patlowe
19-01-2017, 09:45

Unfortunately I think perhaps Andy 'no likey' either. But Andy being Andy will just get on with it and craft a win anyway no matter where he plays. He will adjust!

Bardot

Apparently it's faster than MCA but not as fast as RLA.

Alis
19-01-2017, 10:13
Does MC have a roof? If not, and rain is forecast, maybe that's why they've put Andy on Hisense. It still seems very odd to me.

It does not look as if he is still treated with less respect than Djokovic, Nadal or Federer. It would serve them right if all three end up out

I've commented on one of the other threads that the tournament director was asked about it, and although not a direct reply it was something along the lines that in the past Andy has often requested Hisense. So maybe he likes it fine?

Good news!

Hopefully Querrey's mind will be elsewhere, like the US President inauguration. Apparently big Sam is a Trump supporter. I'm saying nothing.....

There we go! Greg has just confirmed on Eurosport that Andy likes Hisense and even possibly may have requested it! (as you suggested Jan62!) Andy himself when interviewed just now confirmed he is very happy with it too.

I am more concerned now about his ankle. He did say it was sore this morning but a good sign was he could put weight on it. But he did remark he had rolled it quite badly. Lets hope by tomorrow it will be ok.

Hisense - what on earth?
IIIRC Andy prefers Hisense to MCA. There are more REAL fans on Hisense as it's open to ground pass holders and he likes the atmosphere. Looking back at a few previous AO threads he's been less keen on MCA for some reason. And it has a roof so he'll get his match over and done without any rain delay.

Alis
19-01-2017, 20:45
Okay - that makes sense.

Nice and cool today but showing 19c and rain until about 11 so could delay early matches but be fine for Andy and Dan. I sense some quick games and Andy to win in 3 or 4 with possibly a couple of tiebreaks and Andy putting another 90 points between him and the rest!

Well if that doesn't make more Andy fans I don't know........

Surely he must know how he beat Nole at wimby and then lost to Milos.
After that statement wouldn't surprise me if he tried to take the praise for
being the man who started the breakdown of the former world No. 1
Yeah right.
He sounds a lot like Donald Trump "Note to self, must believe my own hype."

Bardot
19-01-2017, 23:17
Before he got to Melbourne, Querrey hadn't won a tour match since Winston-Salem in August last year just before the US Open however he did win the title in Delray Beach on outdoor hard court in February and of course there was that win at Wimbledon. ;) This year he lost in the first round of Brisbane to Schwartzman 6-2 6-4 but did reach the double's final there. In the first two rounds of AO he's beaten 2 wild cards ranked 154 & 333.

The only time I've seen Andy play live he got beaten by Sam Querrey. :grrr: It was a long while ago though.

Must admit Sam has gone up in my estimation with his views on Trump. :whistle:

Still fully supporting Andy here though. :GBflag::thumbup:

Yes but if we wish it too much fate tends to adopt a wry smile and.... one of them has to cramp up soon, surely?

Andy rightly frustrated by mistakes in that game - he could have been two breaks up. No worries, just safe hold and move on.

Frew McMillan annoys me

Not as much as Mac annoys me - so glad he isn't commentating on this match.

Noticed in the Kuznetsova/Jankovic match so many net cords and it continues. Net needs tightening. ;)

Good lad.
Now a case of focus, avoid any troubles with holding the first service game of the next set. An early break should also break big Sam - right sport? ;)

PS Dan has obviously told him to get on with it so he is not on court too late! ;)

20-01-2017, 05:57

He turned his ankle towards the end of his last match. He said it was a bit sore but ok!

20-01-2017, 05:58
Why, what was wrong with his ankle?
From where he went over on it last match, there was speculation about lasting damage

From the last match I mean Linda, when he fell and went over on it. Nothing to worry about this time out

Agreed - it certainly makes life easier for viewers. I really don't like the patterned shorts though.
