Betfair are covering it I believe.

I did sign up with them last year I think, but I can't remember where I put the sign-in details

As the matches are likely to be on when I am in my cot I won't worry about it too much.

Safin won 6-1, 6-4

Andy looked jetlagged and very lethargic in the 1st, broken to 3-1 with a double fault, was serving poorly and Safin was punishing with crunching returns off the 2nd serves....he upped his level in 2nd set and had a chance with 15-30 on the Safin serve at 4-3 up but floated a slice wide and the chance was gone. Broken at 4-4, several huge shots from Safin off the ground

Stats: Andy served at 61%, was lower than that in set 1....Safin only 49% but Andy wasn't able to hurt him like he usually does on the 2nd serve returns...11 winners from Safin to 7 from Andy.....Andy made 11ues and Safin 18......Safin got into the net a lot more and won 10 pts to 4

Basically, an under-par Andy got hit off the court by a dominant Safin and Andy never really managed to cope with the big Russians power and touch at the net

I couldn't care less about results here - I just want Andy to get in some practice AND NOT GET INJURED!!

Must go and look for other reports to see what is said about the wrist. . .

His match was rescheduled after Nalbandian withdrew - the fact he had to play earlier than expected might have had something to do with it.

the interview is also up on AM.com which I presume can be seen with firefox for anyone without IE.

Shame to see Andy lose, but as Madeline says it's not about the winning this week (much as I want him to win!!)

BBC report says he was just 'jet lagged' and quote his web site.

Yes, very encouraging. I logged on at the lowest point just before he reeled off 12/15 games to finish Ljubo off. He was passing him at will by the end.
