When is Murray’s next match?
Murray, having been afforded a rest on Tuesday, takes on Pospisil of Canada on Wednesday. It has not yet been decided which court will host the match, but it is very likely to be a high-profile Centre Court offering at UK prime time - so basically, when everyone is back from work.
Where can I watch it?
The match will be televised on BBC1 as part of the channel’s Wimbledon 2015 coverage. Highlights will also be available through the same provider in the evening, thankfully with more than a smattering of games after the revamp of Wimbledon2day.
Can I get tickets still?
A limited number of tickets are still available, and can only be obtained by queuing outside the All England Club grounds early in the morning. Only cash payments are accepted, and it is strictly one ticket per person. So basically, good luck with that!
What about his opponent?
Pospisil currently has a career-high ranking of 25, and is the Canadian number two. He won the men’s doubles tournament at Wimbledon last year, alongside Jack Sock.
He had never gone beyond the third round of a Grand Slam event until he beat Britain's James Ward on Saturday. He has yet to win a title and has reached only one tour final, in Washington last summer.

Have the pair met before?
Yes, they certainly have. Murray has won all three of their previous meetings in straight sets, although they have never played previously in a Grand Slam tournament.
What are the match odds?
Murray 1/20
Pospisil 14/1
If he wins, who are Murray’s potential opponents?
Murray will face either Roger Federer or Gilles Simon if he reaches the next round. Second seed Federer would appear the more difficult opponent, so Murray will hope to avoid him if possible.
If he progresses further, Murray will probably face world number one Novak Djokovic in a repeat of the 2013 final.
