Andy has been drawn in Group A with: Djokovic - H2H 4-6 (4-4 on hard, 0-1 indoors) Ferrer - H2H 5-3 (5-0 on hard, 1-0 indoors) Berdych - H2H 1-3 (1-2 on hard/carpet, 1-1 indoors) I would say Ferrer is a better draw than Tsonga indoors but Berdych a worse draw than Fish. If they schedule the groups on the sa...
