It should be like a walk in the park for Andy now that Djokovic is out.

And how did Heather Watson fail to beat a qualifier. She was well on top and had match points in the 2nd set.

Credit to Evans for beating Cilic yesterday.

Also to Istomin

Hmmmmmm.
I would be careful about that .
Murray still has a tough draw potentially ahead of him.
A possible final 3 matches against Nishikori, Wawrinka and Raonic await should Murray reach the quarters. Not guaranteed victories in any of them.
I am hopeful but wary .

Djokovic 6-7 7-5 6-2 6-7 4-5 Istomin
Istomin is about to serve for the match in fifth set

Jo Konta goes through but Watson & Edmund are out
Istomin beats Djokovic
Djokovic 6-7 7-5 6-2 6-7 4-6 Istomin
Wow!
Istomin the world 117 wins in 4hrs 48 mins to defeat the 6 time champion

I would agree mate
I am not sure Bu I'm led to believe that Warwinka was the only one Andy struggled to best last year and the three of them do have a game plan set up for him either way. My guess is if Andy reached the final it probably would be against Federer

Murray can't play Federer in the final as they are in the same half of the draw.
If they both get far enough they would meet in the quarter final but this assumes Federer beats Berdych and probably Nishikori too.

might have to play Federer and Nadal

Evans really focused these days and is showing his true ability

How many times has Andy played Nadal?

would be another good win if he beats Tomic but I think Tomic has too much for him

Andy Through to round 4
Beating Sam Querrey of USA 6-3 6-2 6 - 4
Will play Mischa Zxerev in last 16
