(Preview)
Hey people, sorry I've not posted in a while, I'll try to contribute a bit more over the coming months. Anyway, I wasn't going to come down to Wimbledon this year as I knew I was going to be busy this weekend, but yesterday afternoon I got an impulse and booked myself some overnight travel for last night so...

Wimbledon - R1 - Andy vs Jan Hajek
(Preview)
A hopefully reasonably untroubled opener for Andy against Hajek, don't want to extent too much energy in the first round, just ask Fed and Djoko Hajek of the Czech Republic is WR 90 and has evidently never won a grass court match as a senior pro and has only had one appearance at Wimbledon. Never met...

Week 23 - ATP 250 - AEGON Championships, Queen's Club - Round 3: Andy vs Mardy Fish (USA)
(

(Preview)
The head-to-head is 3-2 in Andy's favour. "The Mardy One" (see my post on the Queen's doubles thread in the British men's discussion forum, if you're curious about why I call him that), of course, claimed the most recent victory when he (in)famously beat Andy by 4 & 4 (?) in Round 2 of th...

The world N° 4 vs the world N° 108... They've met only once before, in the first round of the Madrid Masters in 2006, when it was still played on hard courts. Andy won by 2 & 4. He's reportedly feeling "bullish" about his chances in Baron's Court & he should win, but... Third matc...

The order of play for tomorrow is out, and Andy is not listed, therefore the match will be played some time (tbc) on Sunday. Plenty of time for pre-match banter. EDIT: Confirmed, Andy is up fourth and last on Court Suzanne Lenglen tomorrow. First match on that court gets under way at 11:00am local time,...

Weeks 21&22 - French Open - R3 Andy v Baghdatis
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
Tomorrow, 4th match on Suzanne Lenglen - but that is third after a ladies not before noon which is nearly finished the first set. Not much recovery time. I think Bagman just finished a match today as well, but much earlier than Andy, and his first round was a simple 3-setter. The H2H is 0-2, with Marcos wi...

Weeks 21 & 22: French Open - Round 2: Andy vs Juan Ignacio Chela
(

Third match on Court 1 ( ) tomorrow. Head-to-head is 5-1 in Andy's favour, the last two being a straight-sets win (3 & 3) in Monte-Carlo a week or so ago & last year in the first round (2, 2 & 1) at Roland-Garros itself, so I'm cautiously optimistic, bipartite patella in the right knee permi...

Weeks 12/13 - Miami Masters - R2: Andy vs Mardy Fish
(

The head-to-head is 3-1 in Andy's favour, with Fish winning their first-ever encounter in Indianapolis in 2005 in three sets, but failing to take another set off him since. Their most recent meeting was in the QF at Queen's last year, when Andy, the eventual champion, won by 5 & 3. I see no reason...
