You can watch the British No 1 play Gilles Simon live from midday on Sky Sports 1 HD at the Erste Bank Open.
Murray won his opening round match against Martin Klizan on Wednesday as he pursues the 500 ATP points on offer for lifting the Vienna title, which will edge him significantly closer to the overall goal of overthrowing Novak Djokovic as the world No 1.
Simon, the world No 24, represents an awkward test but Murray is used to passing this particular exam - he has won 15 of their 17 career match-ups.
However, it is notable that Frenchman Simon's most recent win against Murray was on Rotterdam's indoor hard courts so he might fancy his chances of springing a surprise in Austria.
