For me this is amazing.Murray gets the easiest matches possible and still hopes to get the prime slot over the Federer matches.
Can anyone really put one match that Murray played this week in the night session.
Against the likes of Sousa,Berankis or Chardy?Really?
If anything Murray should have got a night match on Hisense at least once. Will be interesting to see the SF assuming both win and how long Murray takes to adapt to the conditions.

Well he got a late starting match against Simon on Hisense but it didn`t take to long.
All in all i don`t criticise the schedule at all.The organisers look at the matches and see which is the best draw for the TV viewers.
No surprise the organizers goes for the biggest matches at nighttime. I guess Murray - Del Potro was supposed to get the evening slot, but Murray - Chardy just haven't got the same attraction.
I wouldn't want to spend a lot of money for a night session (especially so late in the tournament where you only get one singles per night session) and see Murray win in 1.5h against another French fodder. AO organisers have got it spot on.
Also, note the comments below the article. Even if it's the Daily Mail, the best-rated ones are very sensible.
Murray and his team are absolutely right here. This is a huge advantage for Federer as he does not only get to play matches in cooler temperatures, but also gets to adjust to the conditions. I believe this will only make Murray more determined as he seems to love it when he feels people are against him.

because Andy Murray has won so many matches when the odds were against him and people doubted him come on mate, get real.... I do agree that the lack of matches on cooler temps could potentially hurt him if he ends up playing a night one in the next few days BUT it's not a big deal and certainly none of his matches have been very exciting so far so maybe obviously the tournament directors were smart in their decision not to put him on center@night. it's got to be a kickass matchup or Roger Federer to deserve that billing
Besides, draws are random. It's not as though they decided to give him an easy draw and then balance it out by not giving him any night matches.
I swear, some of you people are as thick as two short planks. He has an easy path to the semis, so he should be at a disadvantage when/if he plays Federer? Brilliant logic.
lol ironic his camp makes the comment when he's one game away from facing Federer. Oh the irony. They want the best possible conditions going into a possible Federer match. I guess the Fed man is that intimidating.
:haha: That's because watching Mugray play is as much fun as watching paint dry on a park bench, not to mention the opponents that he has faced - not many people care for those matches.
Federer vs Tsonga - now that's primetime tennis, not Mugray vs Chardy...
Federer is a multyslam champion, which you are not. Fed is a higher seed than you. Fed had more attractive matches and bigger names as opponents. So they should put you on RLA prime time sessions why exactly?
Murray matches here have been crap entertainment. Not his fault, though, that his opponents were all shit. Murray even out-bore the boring Fed-Raonic match with his match against exhausted Simon.
Some people seem to forget that this chardy dude was struggling on the challenger tour a few months ago.....
