Doha SF: Andy versus Roger Federer
Permalink  

A repeat of the first round last year which Andy of course won in three on his way to the title.  The official head-to-head is now 4-2 in Andy's favour (excluding the Abu Dhabi result last week, as that was an exhibition tournament not sanctioned by the ATP).  Second match on centre tomorrow, the first one kicking off at 13.00 GMT...

I think you're thinking of Dubai when Andy beat Federer in the first round last year?

Oops!  Indeed I was! redface.gif  There's no hiding place on this MB, is there?  Truth to tell, all the Gulf State tournaments look the same to me... ashamed

I think this one will be close, either Andy will win, give too much and lose the final or Federer will edge it. Three sets either way.

I too can see this going either way, and probably 3 sets.

However, if Andy wins it, I would predict that he wins the final as well.  I see a very purposeful and also fitter again loking Andy at the start of this year.

Roddick takes the first set against Monfils on a tie break, hopefully wont be too much longer.

Monfils has the Andy syndrome - cant stop doing drop shots over the net just did 3 in a row winning one of them, however he then recover and went on to break Arod and Monfils now leads 4-1*

Roddick wins 7-6 3-6 6-3, By the time he finished Arod's hat was dripping from the peak as if it had been dipped in water!

Andy M up next.

TB time. Andy has barely dropped a point on serve so far except for three in that last game.
