Andy Murray will progress into Round 2

Andy Murray has had a nightmare few weeks on tour, losing in comfortable fashion at French Open and Cologne 1. However, the Brit enters the match as the favourite and is expected to see off Danilo Petrovic in a tough encounter. Petrovic might find it difficult to make a shift from the clay courts where he has played for the past month. The Serbian has also played a lot of tennis in the last 5 weeks, which might cause some exhaustion.
