GREAT hold to 15 from Robredo.

5-5

Why do so many people seem to think he is boring? I think this is the first time I have seen him play, and he seems ok to me.

I think people think Robredo is a solid player but not flashy, not real major weapons to hurt people with - consistent and good on the defence but not exciting and clearly lacking in the stuff to really hurt the very best.

Djokovic's consistency and greater power off the ground told today though.

Murray will win tonight though, I'm sure of it.

Jeez! All of Andy's competitors play in Dubai next week. And Dubai is the biggest Tour event out there along with Barca - 300 points for the winner.



We badly need this title!

The Updated Table is posted here (On Britishtennis.net)

Andy retakes WR 13 from Djokovic and makes it to 1700 points!

Tomorrow, we're shouting Davai Mikhail! again, as Youzhny takes on [colo=red]Djokovic.

Haas (now out of reach for this week ) plays Fish tomorrow.

Agreed - it's now diminishing returns on the International Series events: His 18th result is going to be 75 after this week, so he'll need to make the semis of a tournament to add even a few points, and will need to win them to pull in the 100 or so you need to advance at this end of the table.   He's not quite in the Blake/Davydenko league, where those guys really can't get anything from a normal tournament, but he's 4th  (after Tursunov, and level with Nieminen) in terms of high 18th scores. 

So it's time to convert a number of those first round exits in the mandatory tournaments into Quarter- finals: Rome, Monte Carlo, Miami and Roland Garros. (Only 20 to defend at Indian Wells as well.......could be a good few months!

Novak took the first set, but it's 15-40 on the Djokovic serve in the 4th game of the second:....30-40.....40-40 ...ad Djokovic.......2-2


Davai Mikhail! gotta take those bps!

Youzhny breaks back..3*-4...4*-4...5-4* 5-5*...5*-6  First match point - Davai Mikhail!
