Looks like the BBC is obsessed with a top 10 ranking! Last week they repeatedly said that Andy could crack the top 10 with the title, which he had absolutely no chance of doing. But this week's blooper is unbelievable. They threw a question straight to John McEnroe! JO: Does...

Ok, 9.30 pm GMT start - I'm not going to miss this one! Stefan Koubek - 30 year old Austrian, bit of a journeyman really but has had good results like reaching the final in Chennai last month. Andy should win - but doing well in back-to-back tournaments is never easy. I'll go for Andy in 3 a...

What happened to him? Was one of the top five clay players till 2005, but something went wrong from there on. Now he loses almost every match he plays - he even managed to get bagelled by Gilles Muller on Rebound Ace! He is yet to win a match this year and after the latest disater he went on to say - "I was...
