Rotterdam SF - Andy v Mario Ancic

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

As long as Andy serves well then he shouldn't have too much difficulty, as he is the better player from the back of the court - just cannot afford to have lapses on serve as Ancic will be difficult to break.

Still fancy Andy is straight sets though
