A fairly tough draw here for Andy. First up is Feliciano Lopez, likely second round match is Juan Monaco and likely QF opponent Tsonga. Other seeds in his half are Verdasco and Davydenko. Soderling also has a tricky first round match as he will play Montanes. In the doubles Andy and Jamie team up and wil...

L128: (4) Andy Murray WR 4 v Lukas Lacko (SCK) WR 72 H2H 0-0 but of course Colin Fleming thrashed Lacko 1 & 2 in the Glasgow Future semis last year. Apparently Andy could meet Stani in R3, Querrey in R4, Berdbrain in the QFs and Rafa in the semis - would probably have been better to meet Fed in the semis an...

US Open - R3 - Andy vs Stanislas Wawrinka
(
1 2 3 4
)
(Preview)
So it's Stan the Man in R3, and the first possible real test of Andy's campaign. H - H is 5 - 3 to Andy with Stan's victories being the two times they played on clay in 2005 and 2008 and on hard court in Miami back in 2006. Andy has won the last 3 and 5 of the last 6. The last 2 were a 3 set demolition in in the...

Week 33 - Cincinnati Masters (ATP 1000 Series) - QF: Andy vs Mardy Fish
(
1 2 3 4 5 … 6
)
(Preview)
Well, Andy's staggered into the quarters courtesy of two unconvincing three-set wins agin Chardy & Gulbis. The head-to-head with the Mardy One stands at 3-3, Fish having won the last two encounters, the more recent one at Queen's, where Andy was the defending champion, in three sets in June. ...

Andy has played the world n° 58 once before, beating him by 4 & 2, in the opening round of the tournament he won on Sunday when it was played at the alternating venue of Montréal last year. He may not be expecting to repeat his maiden Masters Series triumph in Cincy two years ago (beating NoDjo in the f...

Week 32 - Toronto Masters - Final: Andy v Roger Federer
(
1 2 3 4 5 … 6
)
(Preview)
On court at 18:30 BST Andy has 6-5 record against Federer but has lost the last three times they have met. Federer played absolutely stunning first sets against both Berdych and Djokovic but after that his standard dropped. It increasingly looks like Federer can still play his very best but stuggles...

Week 32 - Toronto Masters - SF : Andy vs Rafael Nadal
(

So, it's Rafa time again ! Folk will probably be largely aware of the history, but anyway it's 8 - 3 to Rafa, and it's like this... Andy's 3 wins are the 2008 US open semi final, a memorable win spread over 2 days, and his first against Rafa after 5 defeats. The other two were in the 2009 Rotterdam final and...

Week 32 - Toronto Masters - QF : Andy vs David Nalbandian
(
1 2 3
)
(Preview)
Andy has only met Nalby twice before and the first time hardly as equals. The first was at the L32 stage of Andy's very first Wimbledon in 2005 when Nalby won 6 - 7 1 - 6 6 - 0 6 - 4 6 - 1. As I mentioned in another thread, poor young Andy basically ran out of puff after gving Nalby quite a fright. The othe...

Week 30: ATP 250 series - Farmers Classic ($619,500), Los Angeles (hard) - Final: Andy Murray vs Sam Querrey
(
1 2

(Preview)
Murray has 4-0 love record, and has never dropped a set, against Querrey but with the exception of this years Wimbledom all of those go back at least 2 years and Querrey has made big improvements since then. If Murray plays well his all round game should be far to good for Querrey but if he doesn't it could...

Met twice before, andy winning both, on clay in monte carlo 2008, and before that in washington in 2006, both in straight sets. Andy will have to up his game, but im sure he can pull through tonight, another late one.

Next up Falla from Columbia. Only meeting was when Andy beat him in the Binghamton Challenger final in 2005. Falla is currently ranked 65 with a career high of 58 from April this year. He seems a pretty decent all surface player having results on both clay and hard and of course gave Fed a bit of a sca...

Week 30: ATP 250 series - Farmers Classic ($619,500), Los Angeles (hard) - R2: Andy vs Tim Smyczek

Andy's never played Smyczek, an American qualifier & the world N° 192, before. Can't see see this encounter being anything other than a win for Andy, possibly in three sets, since he's bound to be a bit "ring-rusty", not having hit a ball in anger since Wimbledon. At least he'll hav...

Wimbledon - SF - Andy vs Rafael Nadal
(

Andy faces Rafael Nadal on Friday in the semi-finals. Can he go a round further than last year? I'm sure these stats are familiar territory, but to refresh the memory before the match: Nadal leads the H2H, 7-3, and their single meeting on grass was in 2008 at the Wimbledon quarterfinals, won in straigh...
