Tomorrow, once again second match on Centre. with play due to start at 12.30. Maybe 2pm if it doesn't rain again? The Spaniard is 26 years old and ranked #52. Year to date, won 12 lost 11, won Kitzbuhel but otherwise never got past a QF. Primarily a clay-courter, though he has won 2 matches here so far, bea...

The match is second on Centre Court tomorrow, play starting at 12.30 so probably somewhere around 1.30 to 2pm. The H2H is 1 all. Andy won the last match at Rotterdam this year, on indoor hard - but it was close, 7-6(4) 7-5. Seppi won their first match back in 2006, on grass at Nottingham - 7-6(4) 4-6 6-1....

So is Andy good enough on grass to win Wimbledon this year? And where does he need to improve if he is to be competitive? I would be surprised if he won it this year as his game doesn't appear to be at the necessary level.Gets broken too often due to careless service games and a vulnerable 2nd deliveryAlarm...

As some folk know I was travelling for 2 to 3 months, and away from this forum for longer.

Fernando has won titles on clay, reached the final of a Masters event on the surface, and in recent years a high percentage of his losses have been against Rafa, Fed or Novak. At Roland Garros he has twice reached the QF previously. Gonzalez is clearly a good player on the surface but not necessarily so i...

Uncharted territory for the Cincinnati Kid: the fourth round of the French Open! Andy leads the head-to head in this one 2-0 (grass in the Davis Cup in 2007 [five sets! ] & the Madrid Masters last year, when it was still being played on hard courts). OK, I was wrong about today's match, but Tipsy...

Honours are even in the head-to-head: 2-2, though none on clay (3 times on hard courts & once on grass), with Andy winning the most recent, the St Petersburg QF last year. I feared for his chances of beating Starace today. I'm even more apprehensive about this one...! I'm going to stick out my n...

Second round for Andy, who is likely to play on Wednesday. Starace won his opening match by retirement after losing a set. He is currently ranked 104 and has never played Andy. Its pretty hard to see past a straight sets victory for Andy ehre.

Tomorrow's draw is out & Andy's will be the fourth & final match on Court Lenglen, after two women's matches & one men's singles. The head-to-head stands at 3-1 to Andy, the one win for Chela being in the 2006 AO, but none of the matches was played on the dirt. Quite a demanding opener fo...

Andy takes on Potty who he leads 3 - in head to head. Most recent win was in Miami in the Semis. Potty is at his highest ranking of 5. They have only ever played once on clay, Andy won, but Potty did have to retire last year in Rome. Will be close, but hopefully Andy can do it, Potty will be tired after 3 hours of...

Robredo leads the head-to-head 2-1 (he beat Andy in the last 32 in Las Vegas in 2006 & in the Metz final in 2007), but Andy has the last laugh so far, having beaten Tommy in the last 32 at Indian Wells on his way to the final earlier this year. Ain't gonna be easy on clay, though...

Tomorrow, 5th match on the second court (Arantxa Sanchez Vicario), with the third not before 1.15 local time. Best guess - late afternoon sometime!

The 2009 Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open is being played on indoor clay this year. For the past eight years it has been played on hard court. Murray won this last year (on hard).

Pulling out of Indianapolis has proved costly for Murray on the ranking point front. The ATP seem to have ruled that he must count zero points from Indianapolis as one of his 'other 5' tournaments.
