But there was no luck with the weather for Andy Murray, with the British second seed forced off court at 4-4 against Spain's Tommy Robredo when rain struck less than an hour before midnight, postponing the finish of the contest until Wednesday. Serbian top seed Djokovic made his first appearance since winning Wimbledon more than a month ago.
