Unless I am being completely blind I can't see a thread for this?

Draw here - http://www.sonyericssonopen.atponline.net/3/en/assets/pdfs/draws/09ATP_MDS1.pdf

Andy faces either Gicquel or Monaco in R2, the seed in his section is Fish with Gasquet/Nalbandian potentially in R4 with Gonzalez/Stepanek/Lopez/Verdasco potentially in the QF and he is in Nadal's half.

Not such an easy draw as IW then. Whilst I don't doubt Murray can beat any or all of these guys I'd class Gasquet/Numpty/Gonzo/Verdasco and even Fish as potential banana skins and of course Nadal isn't as easy as Fed for Muzz. hmm.gif It's going to be tough to chose how far to send Murray in the pickem this time (shameless advertising over wink.gif)

confuse

I could have sworn Seagull started one when the entry list came out - but I can't find it either.

I suppose we couldn't really expect two such kind draws in a row.

Not as nice as the draw he had in Indian Wells, but if he got such a lovely draw two tournaments in a row, things would be a bit strange.

Gasquet or Nalby in round 4 could be a problem based on the fact that you never know if they will turn up - Nalby it is more likely to be given his record against Gasquet and that wouldn't be the opponent Murray would want to play given his record against him, and the fact that Nalby should have beaten Nadal last week (and it was a thrashing until he choked).

In Nadal's half as well, which makes it less likely he'll reach the final.

Is anyone watching the Nadal v Gil match?

Gil looked good in the first set, before going down 7-5.  However, Gil is a break of serve up at 2-0 in the second, and a major upset could certainly be on the cards if he can continue playing the way he is... now wouldn't that be good for Murray?!  wink

Unfortunately, Nadal's just broke back after 3 unforced errors (I think) by Gil cry but it's not over yet.

I probably shouldn't have posted this 7-5 *3-2 (40-0)
