Murray through to an all British match with Jack Draper in the 3rd round. Jack Draper beat Dan Evans in 2 sets. Should be a good match that one. Murray looked comfortable and in good shape.
Cameron Norrie looked in good form and playing Taro Daniels, who knocked out Berretini.
I’ve been critical of Raducanu & the never ending injuries but Raducanu is looking stronger physically and in much better shape than previously. Hoping that her wrist injury doesn’t play up & give it a proper go at Indian Wells.

Think Murray will struggle against Draper - a great prospect.

Draper is the future, so at some point he will beat Murray. Not sure it will be this time. I was going to say that Murray has a good record against left handed tennis players but figures say that it is slightly under right handers. Saying that Murray's record is excellent.
Murray's fighting spirit, will to win, experience and tactical ability to wear the other player down with adjustment of play is excellent. Murray looks in good shape. Draper and Evans have been practising a lot together and Draper knows Evans game. I think Murry will have the edge on this one. Agree though Draper an excellent prospect and will beat Murray at some point. Tomorrow will be the first time they have played eachother.
Cameron Norrie is due to be playing Taro Daniel at 6pm on Sunday on Amazon Prime in UK, but you could find it on a live stream (be careful for dodgy streams). Winner of Norrie game will play Rublev or Humbert of France in the 4th round.
Winner of Murray / Draper game will play winner of Alcaraz / Griekspoor.
Really good to see Emma and Jack having big wins and being 20 + 21 years old are at the forefront of British tennis. Both have brittle bodies which have impacted their careers but Raducanu and Draper can both afford the best fitness coaches to patch them up between matches.
Jack Draper beating both Evans and Murray will give him massive confidence and proves that in Tennis, nepotism will give you the chances and great training facilities but it's his own talent that has put him on the world stage.
Emma faces Iga Swiatek next so I don't expect her to go further But I hope she competes and finishes the match and her wrist doesn't effect her.

Never wins a game in straight sets...
And really encouraging that physically he can recover from tough matches quicker too
Norrie playing Alcaraz in Rio final - Alcaraz seems unbeatable at present.
Alcaraz.
After losing to Daniil Medvedev in the final of the Qatar Open in Doha, Murray said he needed to be "a bit smarter" with managing his body.
"Andy has been dealing with a recurring hip injury that has unfortunately forced him out of Dubai," tournament organisers said on Monday.
Such a shame, I was considering picking up a ticket to go and watch. I still could with Dart, Watson and Boulter all involved in the round of 32...
Up against Draper next.

If Boris Becker hadn't won Wimbledon until he was 23, maybe his life would have panned out differently

Although neither have been done much of a favour, both coming up against the no. 1 seeds in the next rounds.
