MURRAY’S PROBABLE ROUTE TO THE FINAL
R 1 LI AM BROADY (Gbr ), WORLD No 234
A rare British battle is an exciting match to have first up but in reality the 22-year-old from Stockport should offer little challenge to Murray, despite reaching round two last year.
R 2 YEN-H SUN LU (Tpe ), WORLD No 70
The pair have met four times, with Lu triumphing at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Murray, though, saw him off comfortably at Queen’s last year and in the second round at Wimbledon in 2013.
R3 BENOITPAIRE (Fra) ,WORLDNo23
The 27-year-old has only once reached the fourth round of a Slam. He took a set off Murray in this year’s Monte Carlo Masters but is unlikely to pose a problem here.
R4NICKKYRGI OS( A us ), WORLD No 18
Now it gets interesting. The unpredictable Aussie dismantled Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon two years ago and although Murray has won all four of their clashes, he will expect a tough test.
QF RICHARD GA SQ U ET( Fr a ), WORLD No 10
Reached the semi-finals last year, where he was no match for Djokovic. Good on grass but Murray has won his last six matches against him and would expect to make that seven.
SF STAN WAWR INK A(Swi ), WORLD No 5
Murray dispatched him easily in the French Open semis but Wawrinka is very dangerous. They have not played each other at SW19 since an epic under the roof in 2009.
NOVA K DJ OK O VIC( S er ), WORLD No 1 F
What more can be said about the exceptional Serb? Djokovic holds all four Slams and is huge favourite to win the trophy but Murray beat him in Rome last month — and both his Slam final triumphs came against Djokovic.
