Andy's first oponent is now known - Alejandro Falla, who came through the first round when Denis Istomin retired in the second set. Wasn't Falla the guy who gave Fed a nasty scare in the first round somewhere, last year or the year before? Anyway Andy has met him once before, in LA in 2010, and beaten him i...

Andy Roddick, who I saw play at Wimbledon last Summer, and thought perhaps was 'past his best', knocked out the 'in form' Federer last night in Miami in 3 sets. Brilliant result
