And that’s all from me. There’ll be more coverage of tomorrow’s matches, um, tomorrow. Bye!

It’s the Arthur Ashe Humanitarian Award. More information here.

Andy Murray has been given a nice vase and a bottle of Champagne, as a thankyou from the ATP for his charity work. It’s just as well he didn’t lose, else that might have been a bit embarrassing.

Sky, having spend the entire night insisting that a straight-sets Murray win would qualify Federer for the semi-finals, have just retracted the assertion. He is, apparently, only probably through.

Murray gives a little post-match interview.

Obviously last year was tough to mix, but I’m very happy to be back. Thanks a lot for the support. Nice match on Thursday to look forward to against Roger. It’ll be a great atmosphere again so I’m looking forward to it. On Sunday there wasn’t much magic; today I came up with some good shots at the right moments. Milos didn’t serve as well as he can and that helped. I’m looking forward to playing Roger, he’s one of the greatest players that ever played, so to get the opportunity to play against him is excellent.

So Roger Federer has qualified for the semi-finals, and can play his final match – against a certain Andrew Murray – without a care in the world.

Second set: Murray 6-3, 6-5 Raonic* (*denotes next player to serve) Murray breaks! Raonic thought he won the first point with a volley into the empty court, with Murray seemingly stranded on the other side, but the Scot sprints across to lash a winning backhand crosscourt pass, and suddenly there’s a vague sniff of potential in the air. A few moments later, Raonic having twice hit long and with the score at 15-40, it’s turned into a full-on pong. After a long rally Raonic comes to the net, Murray lands the ball on his toes and the half-volley barely gets off the ground. Murray to serve for the match.

Second set: Murray 6-3, 5-5 Raonic* (*denotes next player to serve) The first two points end identically: with Raonic floating a sliced backhand into the top of the net. Though Murray then hits a backhand down-the-line just wide of that line, there follows a couple of strong first-serve winners, the second of them an ace.

Second set: Murray* 6-3, 4-5 Raonic (*denotes next player to serve) Another straightforward hold, ended with an excellent wide serve that leaves Murray grasping desperately. Raonic has served more aces (two) in his last two service games than in the remainder of the match (one). Murray is serving to stay in set two.

Second set: Murray 6-3, 4-4 Raonic* (*denotes next player to serve) Murray starts the game with a double fault, and then a fine forehand return forces an error and for the second service game on the spin Murray finds himself at 0-30. Just like the last he holds to 30, mainly thanks to a couple of wild Raonic forehands, but the Scot ends the game shaking his head.

Second set: Murray* 6-3, 3-4 Raonic (*denotes next player to serve) That was a blink-and-you-miss-it hold for Raonic, with an ace among the portfolio of first serves. His percentage this set is now a handsome 64, with Murray’s down from 60 in set one to 47 since. Raonic is a totally different proposition when the first serves are raining down.

Second set: Murray 6-3, 3-3 Raonic* (*denotes next player to serve) Raonic, having won two games on the spin, roars into game three, slapping a couple of mean returns to go 0-30 up. But then Murray confuses him with a so-weak-my-gran-could-have-done-better second serve which rips the wind from his sails, and a couple more unforced errors later it’s three games apiece.

Second set: Murray* 6-3, 2-3 Raonic (*denotes next player to serve) Raonic’s first-serve percentage has risen to a dizzying 58% in this set, from 37% in the last, but Murray is seeing it and returning it better and better. This allows him to battle his way to a couple of deuces but no more than that, with Raonic taking the game with a backhand crosscourt volley that clips the net cord and drops in.

Second set: Murray 6-3, 2-2 Raonic* (*denotes next player to serve) Raonic breaks back! From 15-0 Murray slips to 15-30, to which he reacts by cursing filthily and at great volume. A few moments later Raonic plays his best point of the game, slamming a forehand deep into the corner and advancing towards the net, from where he half-volleys into the other corner to set up break point. Murray then sends a backhand wide, and he’s screaming at himself again.

Second set: Murray* 6-3, 2-1 Raonic (*denotes next player to serve) Murray breaks! This looks all set to be Raonic’s most straightforward service game for a long while, as he skips to a 40-0 lead with a handsome range of decent groundstrokes and point-winning volleys. Then there’s a backhand into the net, a point-winning Murray forehand down the line, a forehand putaway from midcourt inexplicably sent wide, and a double fault. Which brings up break point. Murray returns crosscourt, Raonic runs round the forehand and then sends his shot back across court and wide. Way wide. That has got to hurt.

Second set: Murray 6-3, 1-1 Raonic* (*denotes next player to serve) Murray starts the set with an easy hold.

Second set: Murray* 6-3, 0-1 Raonic (*denotes next player to serve) Raonic starts the game with a couple more unforced errors on the forehand side, but rescues things with a decent backhand volley and a good, deep serve, before finally landing a forehand to bring up game point. Which he wins.

First set: Murray* 5-3 Raonic (*denotes next player to serve) Murray wins a fine and fairly tactical point, ending the rally with a pummelling forehand down the line, but that’s the highlight of this particular game for him, as Raonic ups the first serve percentage (a bit) and also hits a pretty handsome forehand winner of his own.

First set: Murray 5-2 Raonic* (*denotes next player to serve) Murray holds to 15, without having to get out of second gear. One in every three Raonic strokes is rubbish, and Murray just has to hang around long enough for the point to be presented to him. The one point he drops is when a backhand drop shot just dips into the net rather than going over it.

First set: Murray* 4-2 Raonic (*denotes next player to serve) Murray breaks! At 15-15 Raonic has an easy overhead, the ball having bounced a couple of yards beyond the net, and thwacks it well wide, and he surrenders the game with a well-long forehand. He’s not playing well at the moment, but Murray isn’t exactly dominating – there’s a fairly straightforward return sent wide, and a fairly straightforward forehand sent wide. Raonic relies on his meaty serve, but his first-serve percentage is 36%. Murray should be all over this. And I suppose he kind of is.

First set: Murray 3-2 Raonic* (*denotes next player to serve) Murray hits probably the shot of the match so far, a crosscourt forehand of excellent angle, and also a couple of wickedly sliced backhands that totally fox his opponent, and as a result this is a straightforward hold.

First set: Murray* 2-2 Raonic (*denotes next player to serve) He’s not immune to errors, is Raonic, and he spears a couple of forehands wide of the right-hand sideline before sending another one long, to leave Murray sniffing a break at 15-40. The first he saves, having dominated the point, with an overhead that was that close (very close) to landing wide, and then Murray hits long to take the game to deuce, and sends a second-serve return needlessly wide to give Raonic a game point that he takes. Raonic has won every point when he’s landed a first serve, but that’s only five – he’s got a first serve percentage of just 38% at the moment.

First set: Murray 2-1 Raonic* (*denotes next player to serve) Murray’s going to have to get the depth of his groundstrokes just right tonight, because if he drops them short Raonic is going to feast upon them like a hungry wolf at a pigeon’s pyjama party. He’s guilty of that a few times here, as well as a particularly weak attempted pass which floated meekly over the net to present Raonic with an easy volleyed winner, but he still holds to 30.

First set: Murray* 1-1 Raonic (*denotes next player to serve) There’s one thunderous, 138mph ace, and another serve that flied into Murray’s body and is blocked long, but that aside Murray does indeed get his returns back into play. Raonic nevertheless holds to 15.

First set: Murray 1-0 Raonic* (*denotes next player to serve) Well that was a fine start, both players swinging the racket with real intent from the off. Murray holds to 30, ending the game with an ace, but if that first game is anything to go by this isn’t going to be another 56-minute walkover. In other news, Strictly Come Dancing’s Judy Murray is in the house, with dancing partner Anton du Beke. and here’s some tactical analysis from reader John McEnerney.

The maths: Murray needs to win to have any chance of progressing. If he wins in straight sets, or if Raonic wins in three (not sure how this maths works, but I’m told it definitely does) Federer is a confirmed semi-finalist. The players are warmed up and ready to roll. Deep breath.

The nervous-looking girl doing the coin toss does a dreadful job of it, the coin barely flipping once on its way to the floor. It was more of a coin drop than a coin toss, really. Anyway, Murray wins it, and serves first.

The players are now emerging into the arena, battling through a fog of dry ice.

And Andy Murray has also done a little chatting:

Hopefully I’ll hit the ball a little bit better than I did the other day. A few players have struggled a bit in the first matches. I’m hoping I’ll be able to play a little bit more consistently and I’ll need that. I need to play well, get a lot of returns back in play. If I can make it tough for him on his service games, that’s half the battle.

A little pre-match interview with Milos Raonic. And I do mean little:

I feel good. I feel excited. I’m ready to give my all. [Against Murray] I’ve been able to play him on my terms, control the centre of the court and I feel I’m pretty dangerous when I can do that.

The doubles is over. Dodig and Melo won after a marathon and really quite enjoyable tie-break and qualify for the semi-finals. And so, to the headliners.

There’s some good doubles on at the moment, which might delay the start of the singles a little. It’s about to go into a second-set tie break, Dodig/Melo having won the first set against Granollers/Lopez.

Hello world!

Group A’s two weekend losers meet in a winner-takes-something battle to still have more than a vague mathematical interest in this competition. Andy Murray faces 6ft 5in big-hitting Canadian speedster Milos Raonic, quite accurately predicting that “I’ll need to play better than I did on Sunday”, when he rather limply folded to Kei Nishikori. Here were his other key pre-match thoughts:

The best part of his game is the serve. He does not return as well, maybe, as Kei does so hopefully I can get a few points on my serve. If I can serve better that will help, regardless of whether it is against Milos or Roger.

Head-to-head-wise Raonic has a handy 3-1 lead, though the pair would have played twice more but for assorted injuries: Raonic pulled out of a third-round meeting in Miami two years ago with an ankle problem, and Murray gave up on the Rogers Cup in Toronto later that year with a knee injury.

I’m not entirely sure what to expect of this match. It could be good, it could be horribly, spirit-crushingly disappointing. Time, and not a lot of it, will tell. Welcome.
