ATP Miami - R3 : Kendrick v Murray

aria81 · Club Coach

I'll go for Andy in 2. Don't see Kendrick provinding too many problems. The courts are pretty slow so that neutralises Kendrick's biggest weapon and as bad as Andy served today, I still fancy him to break more times than he's broken.

Looks like a Sunday evening (GMT) match.

Jamie's double match is on tonight same time slot 9pm (cough, cough) as Andy's last night.

DUSTY DICK · Club Coach

Andy will come through.

Great chance with Hewitt out to get a stack more points.

He'll find a way despite his ankle. That's the measure of him and also what makes him so exciting.

I expect Andy to win here, but don't expect another double-bagel - I remember reading Kendrick was either injured or ill during that match, he put up a much better fight the next time they met. I'll go for Andy in 3 to allow him another brain-freeze. . .

yeah kendrick shoulder was hurt, but he ddnt want to pull out sometime.
still andy should win win comfortably.

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Andy should win this conformatbly, as the courts aren't quick enough for Kendrick's serve to be a major weapon, and this will also neutralise his serve and volley game

Andy in 2, but maybe a tie break in there

Andy in two slightly easier sets than against Goldstein. He should be feeling a bit more alert, match-sharp and used to the conditions.

2nd match in from the 11.00 am Miami start time so maybe 12.30pm so what's that in BST ? It's not the poshest court it's the next one, Grandstand?

Not a bad shout from this morning!

Robredo is about to beat Kim (probably 6-2, 6-4), so just depends on the turn around time.

Watching the end of the match on Spanish TV (but don't think I'll get Andy's match, or not all of it anyway).

The court cannot be described as a "Grandstand" court. It's looks very open to the elements, and there is a bit of a breeze.

As a wild guess, I'd say the court has about 800 permanent seats, plus 1200 temporary. There are only about 500 people watching the Robredo vs. Kim match. The court itself looks like a Wimbledon homage, only in the sense that the court is purple surrounded by green.

Game set and match Robredo, as predicted. Hope Andy can get on court quick as my TV coverage will probably go to Carlos Moya at the top of the hour.

Keith · Intermediate Club Player

Andy to serve first, according to live score.

You watching the match or shall I try and do some live score ?
