What channel is Andy Murray v Novak Djokovic on? TV details, live stream, start time

Andy Murray will face world No 1 Novak Djokovic for the first time in five years at the Matua Madrid Open on Thursday.

The Scot has been in impressive form since reversing his decision to skip the clay court season by accepting a wild card entry for the tournament in the Spanish capital.

Murray – currently ranked 78 – disposed of Dominic Thiem in straight sets in the opening round. He then claimed a three-set win over Denis Shapovalov in the second round, downing the world No 16 from Canada 6-1 3-6 6-2 having only lost his serve once in one of his best performances since having his hip resurfaced.

Murray, 34, only decided to play the event on clay two weeks ago, but it is proving a shrewd move as he prepares for a mouth-watering third-round tie against Djokovic.

The duo last played in 2017 in final of the Qatar Open in Doha, which Djokovic won in three sets. The rivals have known each other since they were children and faced-off 36 times in their professional careers.

The Serbian booked his last-16 spot with a win over Gael Monfils, with his match against the Scot set to take place on Thursday morning.

What has Andy Murray said ahead of the match?

"He's the world number one and I've got a metal hip," Murray told Amazon Prime.

"I didn't know I'd get opportunities to play matches like this again. In theory I shouldn't have a chance in the match.

"But I've worked my hardest, put myself in a great position and it's a fantastic opportunity to play against him again on a big court in a huge tournament."
