Hi Andrew, good to see you back

Just to let you know in case you lose the link again, this forum is now part of our big British tennis news site...www.britishtennis.net, it's a much easier link to remember and you can get to the forum from there.

That's actually how i found it again smile

The Live Ranking is a fanatastic tool, i find it really interesting and it's a great feature of the website.

I'm pretty sure that Andy is really going to be up for revenge here. He certainly will not want a 0-3 record against his friend and rival. Also the winner has a great chance in the final.

I genuinely think that Andy will win this one. We all know how much of a factor the mind is at this level and I think Novak will take a while to settle against a Murray that is fully fit and fresh.

Good luck, Andy.

Match to start not before 3pm US time, 8pm BST.

All the punters who bought tickets for the night match must be gutted. Surely they would have preferred to have seen two of the best young guys in the world as opposed to Ljubicic vs Robredo/Canas? Never mind - that's probably better for us, and Andy since he's not played a night match there yet and Djoko has played two of them. Just seems strange - you would have figured Andy/Nole would have been the main attraction on semi-final day.

Of course it's probably fair - if Robredo versus Canas goes long tonight then it wouldn't be right to have then out first - of course fair doesn't usually come into it in tennis scheduling.

or maybe they want to give Murray/Djokovic a better chance of winning the masters instead of the old foes!

That is a very good point actually.

I really hope whoever wins this semi wins the title - it would be good for tennis for one of the youngsters to win it as opposed to the guys on the other half of the draw.

Possibly European TV companies had a bit of influence too

Just noticed that if Andy wins he will be at Number 2 in the Race!

This will be Andys first master series crown...he will beat Nole in 3 and then beat Lujobo in 2 in the final

it'll be 3 o'clock in the afternoon there so it should be a problem for him get ready for the match. he played well at that time when he won against Roddick.

i think Andy will win in 3. in the last 2 matches they played, the best murray wasnt there, so he should win. however, if Novak's is still on a high from his win against Nadal, then still Murray's got the game to beat him
