Dubai 500 QF - Andy v Gasquet
Permalink  

Last match on Centre Court tomorrow, with the second-last starting not before 7pm local, 3pm UK, so maybe 4.30-5pm unless they run late like today.

I'll miss the start, I have a hospital appointment, but perhaps it would be better for my blood pressure if I miss the lot. . . H2H is 2-1 in Gasquet's favour, but the two he won were in 2006 and 2007, while I'm sure you all remember the one Andy won smile.gif

At the top of his form I'd back Andy. With the slight problem in movement I'm not completely sure. I really, really want Andy to win this match. . . please.gif

Amazing that Dammit's now only the French no. 4, nowhere near the top three!

Due to a virus according to the Beeb.

I thought he sounded a bit under the weather on his interview yesterday http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/7909084.stm - maybe what he did over the off-season, while making him stronger, put a fair amount of stress on his body and that's what's making him susceptible to stuff like this, or maybe it's just going back and forth from the cold of the UK to the heat of Aus, Dubai, etc, that's doing it.

spending a lot of times on planes also carries an inherent risk of colds and flus etc.

Just heard on BBC - Andy doubtful to play DC - told to rest for 10days due to virus - OOPS!

Shame that he pulled out, but with the virus adding to the dodgy ankle problem, it probably is for the best - especially as he wasn't playing his best tennis throughout the week either.

Hopefully he'll be back in time for the Davis Cup as 10 days would take it to about the the start of the DC, but I'd not be too surprised if he did pull out of the DC if he wasn't feeling too great, as I'm sure he'd see Indian Wells/Miami are more important.

At least he's picked up some decent points here, although they probably won't end up counting for his ranking if he does play well at the other events.

I dashed in from the hospital appointment hoping I would catch some of the match - now this. I thought he was not moving at his best yesterday but I didn't expect this!

Poor Andy. And poor GB if he has to miss the DC tie. . .hmm
