I really like Djokovic but I'm glad he lost this week when Andy had so much to defend!


The only sad thing is Andy must win the tournament to overtake him again. But at least he doesn't rush further away. And on the bright side Djokovic is defending 70 points next week (Andy's defending 60 but still!)

I think I'll add a pin or two into the US doll as well as the Cypriot one, just to be on the safe side!

Andy bt A-Rod twice last year and has won 5 out of 7 sets they've played. No one else on Andy's side of the draw is even remotely threatening if Andy plays his a-game which sems to appear more frequently under Gilbert!

Hopefully Safin and Blake make the semis and tire each other out!

Stepanek placed in draw.

R1 vs T.Johansson. Could go either way.

R2. Likely to be the Undertaker. Would expect DavyDenko to win.

Stepanek shouldn't do much catching/running way*               (*delete as appropriate)

Stepanek needs to catch so that draw is very good if Andy doesn't manage to defend all his points.

The worry with Roddick is that he is on the up as well as Andy. Under Courrier (spelt right?) Roddick appears to be finding his A-game and confidence again. i still think Andy can beat him, just that it won't be as easy as before especailly as Roddick seems to hate losing to Andy (think back to when he beat AM in Cinci and the celebrations he pulled despite Andy being close to collapse). It should be a stunning match if both are on top of their games. And if that is the case I'd take Andy to win! (I mean Murray )

Its Courier i think but Roddick's coach is Jimmy Connors!

I wonder if Courier does coach though! I suppose if he did Draper would have kidnapped him!

A-Rod has been playing well but as you says this match seems to have some needle now! And I'd always back Andy Murray when there's needle involved!

You never know! A-Rod might lose to Querrey!

The updated table is posted here (On britishtennis.net)

(Just the Baghdatis and Murray results to report)

Today, we have top targets Ferrer  playing Clement and Gasquet playing Hernych in Marseilles.
Nieminen is playing Grosjean, and Ancic playing Seppi there as well. 

After going through all that fuss qualifying, looks like Stepanek has withdrawn: Bastl (LL) is down to play his match against ToJo.

So it's time to get those pins into the Ferrer & Gasquet dolls, ladies!

So does he still get the 5 points for qualifying (Stepanek I mean)? Not that it makes a difference but purely from an academic interest!

Also, who does that? Did he just want the match practise but not to actually play the tournament? I'm currently feeling even more sorry for all those in his path during qualifying, there should be a rule against that.

I'm guessing he does get the points (you win the match, you get the points) and they become his 20th result, so worth having, I guess.  One assumes the poor boy is injured..
