AMS Paris R3 : Murray v Santoro
Permalink  

These two have never met before at ITF or ATP level in singles.

Santoro is a world class dubs player now 35 years old who once ranked at 6 in dubs but only 17 in singles way back in 2001.

He won in Newport this year and has a 2007 win/loss record of 22-18.

Andy should and must increase his W/L to 42/13 !

He will - provided he doesn't underestimate his opponent... please.gif  Their encounter is the second match on the centre court tomorrow, with the usual 11.00 CET/10.00 GMT kick-off for the opener (Baggy v Davy-donkey).  At least that means it will be after noon, Paris time... wink

It'll be nice for Andy to play someone who isn't just trying to pummel him off the court.

I'd love to watch this match. I expect the pair of them will be drop-shotting and lobbing at every opportunity.

Its going to be a tricky match, if andy played how he did today minus the minimal deficit in the 2nd set, then he should win in 2, but Santoro is a tricky player who could do anything to surprise his loyal fans! However, he had heavy strapping around his left thigh and knee, so with restricted movement, Andy should win comfortably, but i realistically think its going to be 2 close sets to andy.

This should be a wildly entertaining match. Shame i'm stuck at work and can only follow the live score online!! I see Andy winning in 2 close sets as well.
