ATP Paris Masters - R2 : Andy Murray v Sam Querrey

I'll take that. Though Querrey had improved since their previous meetings - so has Andy!

christian · Intermediate Club Player

Andy on last after Soderling v Fed so maybe about 8pm? I'll be able to watch it anyway so pleased with that time.

Neil Harman's preview of this match and some other stuff....HERE

Good clear piece...I am fairly sure most guys on the ATP tour would rather not be facing Andy early, or at all, in events these days...Big Sam will give it a go thats for sure. Lucky 13 for Andy I still feel.

Fed/Soderling is not before 645 at the earliest, so 8pm may be a bit ambitious for when Murray is on - normally give a match 90 mins, and then the changeover time, so around 830 would be my guess.

Shouldn't have too much trouble with Querrey - a nice simple straight sets win to ease him into the tournament

From what I remember of Querrey, his tactics are to hit the ball hard, and if that doesn't work, to hit it harder. Andy usually does well against such players, doesn't he?

Assuming he does do the business against Querrey, it'll be Verdasco again in Round 2! He's just beaten Robredo 6-2 6-7(6) 6-2.

Err. Roddick, Karlovic come to mind smile

OK, maybe A-Rod has just a few more strings to his bow.

By the way, Verdasco has won. I dare anyone to put up a thread for R3 : Murray v Verdasco biggrin

Anyway, nice of the organisers to give Verdasco a good rest before his 3rd round match.

After the demolition job Muzza did on him last week, they probably think Mr Ivanovic needs as many advantages as he can get!

Ok, if you wait up long enough, you get an OoP smile

Murray v Querrey is on Court Central, and follows the Federer v Soderling match which is "not before 7.45 PM".

Give that a couple of hours, take away the hour time difference, and it could possibly be on about 8.45 PM GMT, maybe a little earlier.

Anyway, I take Murray in 2 fairly staightforward sets.

edit : OK, I realise now that christian was in the know about 5 hours ago. Still I bet my approximate time proves closer to the mark smile

Disclaimer : Don't blame me though if it actually does start at 8 pm and you miss some of it !
