Djokovic out. Wide open for Murray..... trouble is..... his half of the draw is hard. Potential QF v Nishikori. SF v Wawrinka.

Hard yes, but you don't win grand slams / stay world number 1 by only beating unseeded qualifiers.

That would be a bit like winning the FA Cup and only having to play one game against premier league opposition...

Thats why I used 'potential' :thumb . Of course having named Wawrinka I must now include Evans. It ain't getting any easier for Sir Andrew.

Partly regional pride. I will be calling him British when he loses though...
