To all our surprise Andy made light work of DT to go 4-0 in the H2H.

I wonder how better Tim could have done if he had managed to have the game to best the Russian ?

Anyway....much tougher prospect now.

Simon beat Andy is 3 sets in Rome last year in one of those strange scorelines 6-1 1-6 6-3.

Simon is 13/11 for the year with only 1 SF and QF to show for. Neither of them on clay.

Even though Andy has not done great on the clay so far his W/L this year is a healthy 18/8.

Giles Simon is no Almagro or a real clay court specialist....Andy should win this.

He has taken sets off both Nole and Rafa but also lost this year to PHM and Ramirez-Hildalgo...the latter was a double breadstick !

So, JWT (14) couldn't get out of jail a second time: "Sods" has just done for him 2 & 5, which means seven seeds have now bitten the dust (Blake (7) - beaten by Tipsy - Gasquet (8), Berdych (9),  Youzhny (10), Robredo (13) & PHM (16)), nine, if you include Rodders (6), who withdrew before the tournament got under way, & "Alma-grow" (as I once heard him referred to on a BBC News 24 sports bulletin!  disbelief.gif ), who was promoted to 17th seed after he did so! omg.gif

Andy is provisionally at 12 in the rankings now and a win here takes him above Berdych. Seedings for FO are based on positions at the end of this event

I've got 3/11 in the ATP bracket challenge today, which shows just how crazy a "Revenge of the Muppets" day (e.g. Safin & Kiefer winning) it's been. I'm down about 1000 places, but if I had got 4/11, I'd have moved up on the day, so it must have been pretty bad for most people.
