Murray eyes Djokovic upset

The Scot set up the meeting with a 6-4 6-1 victory over Filippo Volandri on Tuesday to reach the third stage of a Masters Series event on clay for the first time.

"He's (Djokovic) expected to win the match and I just hope I can go out and play like I've done the last couple of days because, if I do, it's going to be a good match and I've got a chance of winning." said Murray.

Third seed Djokovic, who beat Ivan Ljubicic 6-3 6-3 in round two, is enjoying a superb season, having clinched his first grand slam in Australia in January and won the Masters Series title in Indian Wells last month.

Djokovic also has a perfect record against his good friend and fellow 20-year-old Murray, with three wins from as many meetings.

Murray's two victories in Monte Carlo are his first on clay since 2006 after he injured his wrist in Hamburg last year - during a match against Volandri - putting him out for three months.

The Scot has enjoyed better results on faster courts during his career so far but is confident he can make progress on clay this season under the guidance of former world number two Alex Corretja.

"I haven't had great results on clay but I've only played 11 or 12 matches on the tour, maybe less," he continued.

"I've had a few injury problems on the clay but I got a good two weeks of practice before I got here and obviously getting the chance to work with someone like Alex has helped too."

Murray will have a day off on Wednesday, with the Djokovic clash likely to take place on Thursday.
