lol I think I did and I was right about Sunrise ()  Blame Doug about that...he said that the courts in Miami really suit Tim's game.

However, even on fast outdoor hard, I'd pick Canas to beat Tim...Canas has beaten him on indoor carpet in Vienna (which is really, really fast stuff !) when Tim was on form back in 2001.

Well, I've been an optimist for this match and gone for a win from our boy.

Whilst I agree Canas can easily beat Tim at his best (the H2H doesn't lie that much) he's not at his best - he reminds me of Safin: mega inconsistent. Yes he beat Fed last week but he only got to play that match as a lucky loser.

He lost to Alex Waske in the Indian Wells qualies...people who do well against Canas have massive serves and so can get lots of cheap points and neutralise his returning strengths. On a fast hard court in the desert, he cracked on his serve at the end of the 1st and 3rd sets...ended up losing 7-5, 4-6, 7-5.

Waske is a difficult guy to play as he has the big serve so v hard to get into his service games on a fast court. From the baseline he doesn't do much at all, plays very passive for most of the time but suddenly out of the blue he can fire a couple of massive winners, having not done anything for most of the set and suddenly you're 0-40 down on your serve at 5-5. If he went for his shots more from the back he'd be top 50

Does anybody know which kind of serving grip Henman uses? I know his best serve is a slice serve out wide to the deuce side. But from my point of view he doesn't use too much kick.
