Andy will play Schuettler after he beat Pavel 16 62 60.

Andy played well today but wasn't at his greatest. Those last few games Rochus loosened up and started going for shots with an 'I've got nothing to lose' attitude, and they were being pulled off. And Andy made a couple more UEs, meaning he lost 2 games.

As far as you can tell from one match he seems to be doing fine with his 'Team Murray', like Sheddie said picking up from where he left off in 2007 - which is very good indeed.

Andy did have a decent chance of winning this 0&0....at 4-0 he had 15-40 on the Rochus serve but seemed to lose concentration a bit and relaxed...missed two returns and after getting that 1st game, the Belgian opened up

Watched a bit....OR was awful...Andy didnt have to play that well...next match should be the same as this...a two set win.

The opposite side of the draw has opened up considerably with Robredo's 4&4 loss to Calleri

Davydonkey doesn't look great atm against Dorsch either, though can't see him losing

Andrew · Junior player

Great start to the year :)

Didn't watch it as i forgot the Murray season started today! Hope he can make at least the final again.

I have just seen that Olivier Rochus' brother Christophe, who at 5'7" is a whole inch taller than Ollie, has qualified and is drawn against Ivo Karlovic

The pair of them at the net should be quite amusing!
