Yes, very good solid win. No dramas, not used to this, but it's good !!
As he was saying himself after the match in interview, he's now getting much better at backing matches up at the top level. He was also saying that it was unbelievably hot and humid, which he said probably didn't come across on TV. Well, it did sort of at the end, he looked knackered.
I feel even more sorry now for Moya, coming out to play again !!
With Blake losing and failing to defend his final from last year, Andy will move into to top 8 probably (assuming noone overtakes him, haven't done the calculation).

Not just yet, with this stagger in the points drop-off, he needs to win another match to pass Roddick according to my calculations.
By August 18 almost certainly.
Only one person can pass him: Verdasco, if Andy loses his next match and Verdasco wins the entire tournament.
