I agree this is tough. I think the undertaker is the toughest opponent Andy could have of the three left in the competition on current form.

Having said that - he has to be up for it and I think when they both bring their A game Andy's is better.

Here's hoping!

Djoko/Simon match still going on. . . maybe Andy will be inspired by the fact they have both needed medical time-outs?
