Good decision - will be 7th seed I think

(7/WC) Andy gets a bye in R1 and will then meet fellow-WC Mario Ancic or Miacha Zverev in R2.

He's in the same section as no. 10 seed Almagro, the same quarter as yet another WC, no. 4 seed Blake (which is as nice a draw as you can ask for on clay! - the Blake bit, I mean) and the same half as no. 1 seed Nadal.

Not a great draw really as I'd expect Almagro to beat Murray on the clay so he's not going to get the progress through the draw that he'd have been looking for, while he'll have the memories of the painful Ancic defeat in his mind as well, even though I don't see him as a threat on the clay.

Ancic is quite a decent clay courter. I think he'll probably thrash Andy the way Andy plays on the clay anyway.

I think it will be easier for Andy to beat Ancic on clay, though not taking anuthing for granted.   The best of luck Andy!!

I hope Andy is playing here just for practice. I can't see him increasing his points at all, his 18th score is 75. Even if he beats Ancic I can't see him beating clay specialist Almagro, who has already won two titles on clay this year and is above Andy in the race.
