ATP Tour Finals - Andy v Roger Federer
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
H2H is 6-3 to Murray. It's worth noting that although Murray has had memourable victories against players such as Gasquet and Wawrinka at Wimbledon in recent years, he has yet to defeat a top four player in front of his home crowd. Starts at quarter past nine GMT.

Week 45 - ATP Paris Masters 1000 - R2 Andy v James Blake.
(
1 2 3
)
(Preview)
Tomorrow evening, 7.45 UK time. Ideal for most people - but guess who has a stupid committee meeting? H2H 1-1, though Andy won the later encounter in the Queen's final this year. Blake won a meeting on clay back in 2006. You would expect Andy to win if he isn't too tired/thrown by the change of surface. Ch...

Week 44 - ATP Valencia 500 Final - Andy v Mikhail Youzhny (RUS)
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
These two have met once before with Andy winning 6-2, 5-7, 7-6(1) in the semi-final of St. Petersburg in 2007. Youzhny is coming into some real form recently after an iffy start to the year. He is one of the underestimated players out there, imo, and after seeing Andy's play today I think he could easil...

Lonely this Christmas
(Preview)
Interesting article in Scotland on Sunday today. Apart from telling how the poor guy will be all alone in Florida this Christmas, aww... it is interesting to see his logic for bypassing Doha this time and getting to Australia earlier. Seems to make sense to me, and I hope an early indication that the...

Week 44 - ATP Valencia 500 SF - Andy v Fernando Verdasco (ESP)
(
1 2
)
(Preview)
Wot no thread yet? Andy leads the H2H 6-1, but the first five wins were before Nando pulled his socks up and became the player he is today. And the last win, he had a bit of an injury. He is the sort of hard hitter to whom I feel Andy is a bit vulnerable. Plus, Verdasco is fighting to confirm his place at the O2. F...

Not before 7pm UK time tomorrow on the main court. I have to be out and can't record a livestream without being around. These two have never played at any level. They are exactly the same age, to the day! The Argentinian is at present ranked #64 with a career high of #54 back in September this year. His YTD...

Week 44 - Valencia Open (ATP 500 Series) - QF: Andy vs Albert Montañés (ESP)
(Preview)
I missed all the fun yesterday evening, as I was out for a meal, but by all accounts, Andy's going to have to raise his game a bit if he's to get the better of Montañés. That said, they've played one another twice this year, in the first rounds of both Doha & Indian Wells, & Andy's seen him off in...

Andy's kit
(Preview)
Obviously had my head buried in the sand as I didn't hear any rumours about this - Andy will be wearing Adidas kit from Jan 2010 starting at the Hopman Cup. Has this been general knowledge for months? Article posted on Tennishead site in the 'on Tour' section

Week 44 - Valencia Open (ATP 500 Series) - Round 1: Andy vs Daniel Gimeno Traver
(

(Preview)
Good to be starting one of these threads again. The match will be third on the Stadium Court, after the Almagro/Ferrer encounter, which is scheduled to kick off at 14.00 GMT (technically the fifth, but the first of the first two gets under way at 10.00 GMT). There is no head-to-head, as these two have n...

So Andy will be top seed here along with the likes of Roddick, Davydenko, Tsonga and the defending champion David Ferrer. With Delpo only a couple of hundred points behind hopefully Andy will have a good week and keep the US open champion behind him. Andy is defending 100 more points than him so he needs...

Andy marches on with a solid performance against Dent. Andy currently has a H2H of 3-0 against Cillic, with a straight set win at RG earlier this year and another straight set win at the Madrid Masters (hard) last year.

With Taylor Dent securing an epic 6-4, 5-7, 6-7(1), 7-5, 7-6(9) win over Ivan Navarro, he gets the chance to take on Andy in the next round. Dent saved one match point to win his match which was a complete throwback to yesteryear with both men serve/volleying, and showed why a night match at the US Open (o...

US Open R1 - Andy vs Ernests Gulbis
(Preview)
Andy starts with Gulbis again after their 2nd round Wimbledon meeting. So, has Gulbis been showing much signs of improving on this year's rather erratic performances ? Well no, and has managed to exit both Canada and Cincinnatti to players outside the top 100. For me, Andy makes a comfortable start...

Week 33 - Cincinnati Masters (ATP 1000 Series) - SF: Andy vs Rog

Rog beat Oz Brat 3 & 4 to set up this SF. If memory serves, the pair haven't met since the Indian Wells semi in March, when Andy's win in three sets made the head-to-head 6-2 in his favour. Could be interesting. Not sure I want to predict a winner, especially after Andy's performance & poor ser...

The Frenchman's made the most of his LL berth, courtesy of JMDP's withdrawal on ground of fatigue! He's reached the QF by beating, somewhat surprisingly, IMHO, Jürgen Melzer &, earlier today, GGL, but is probably "cruisin' for a bruisin'" agin Andy, who hasn't yet dropped a set. ...

02 World Tour Finals - Andy qualifies!
(Preview)
This is a bit strange, I can't find anything about it in the tennis news, but I have just received an email from the ATP inviting me to buy tickets, because Murray has definitely qualified now. It was fairly obvious that he would, but it is good to have confirmation!

Week 33 - Cincinnati Masters (ATP 1000 Series) - R3: Andy vs Radek Stepanek
(Preview)
Second on court after Federer vs. Ferrer, so probably on around 1900 UK time. Murray and Stepanek have met twice before, with Murray winning both matches and has never dropped a set to him. Would expect that to continue today with a similar kind of score to the Almagro match.
