Andy Murray Vs Robby Ginepri - 1st Rnd - Montreal Masters (Rogers Cup) 2007
UPDATE: I don't know where I got Friday from :-S
Murray and Ginepri are due on court TODAY after the match between Haas and Calleri. Start time for the day is 4pm (UK time), so barring any withdrawal for injury (I mean for Haas or Calleri you cynic!), we could be looking at a start time of 5:30pm onwards.

Will Murray play?
There's precious little talk about injury, which would usually be a bad sign. But I'm in a positive mood, so perhaps the injury that has kept Murray out of action for the last 12 weeks has, at last, fully healed.
The top 8 seeds in the Montreal Masters get a BYE to the 2nd round. Murray is seeded 13th so will have to slug it out from the 1st round (onFriday or Saturday Tuesday).
Robby Ginepri (58) is the opening opponent, the player that Murray has beaten twice before (Cincinnatti Masters 2006 and Thailand Open 2005) .
Not the easiest come-back match, but it could have been a lot worse. And in fact it might be, because Murray has been drawn in the same quarter as Federer (1) and could meet the player he defeated in Cincinnatti last year in round three.
Before that, the 2nd round opponent would be local wildcard Peter Polansky (326) or a qualifier.
Last year, Murray reached the semi-final of this tournament, his first in a Masters Series. It's hard to believe it was only a year ago but, of course, that particular achievement was soon eclipsed by beating Federer a week later.
I really want to get excited about this event, but it's hard when so many recent tournaments have fallen by the wayside after last minute withdrawals through injury. I'll be watching the news closely and I'll post any updates and the order of play as they come in.
