And seeing that Murray's coach is French. Who's advise does he follow in this competition?

They have a Davis cup Captain. its andys former coach Leon Smith

LEast we might be able to thump the aussies at something lol

Andy looked fatigued 1st 2 sets today, winning second set was crucial to winning match against Simon.

Yeah 3 matches in 3 days is pretty tough on the body.
He stood up to it well in the end.
The doubles was so important.

Laura Robson has won her 1st single match since her comeback at ITF tournament in Granby, Canada defeating Naomi Osaka(WR 159) of Japan 7-6(5), 6-7{5), 6-3.

She also won a woman's doubles match with a Canadian partner at same tournament

And I believe she used her protected ranking before she was injured to gain entry into next months US Open

^Yeah she can use it for 8 tournaments that she doesn't get wildcarded into which was case for this tournament

Unfortunately she lost in 3 sets today, not surprising as her 1st round match started at Midnight(UK time) and her next match started at 5pm(UK) the same day
Jo Konta & Naomi Broady won their matches in same tournament and play each other in next round

Which Jo Konta won 6-3, 6-3

Jo Konta wins Granby ITF tournament beating Stephanie Foretz 6-2, 6-4 moves to 113 in rankings.

Kyle Edmund won Binghamton Challenger beating Bjorn Fratangelo 6-2, 6-3 in final to move to 104 in rankings.

For 1st time in their careers it is Andy Murray and Leander Paes V Jamie Murray and John Peers in men's doubles

Andy Murray will face Novak Djokovic in the final of the Montreal Masters today after a 6-3 6-0 semi final win over Kei Nishikori overnight. When the revised world ranking list is released tomorrow the Scot will climb to number two behind Djokovic.
